In the USA, schools are reopening soon.
I think this is the best time to start planning what to buy for school and shop. How much ever early I plan for the school, I tend to miss one or the other. So, I have made a list of 5 Back to school items not to miss.
1. Lunchbox, snack boxes, and Lunch bags
As a parent, food comes first to my mind :-) I hate when my kids bring lunch and snack without finishing completely. Sometimes, Nice lunch and snack boxes help to attract them to finish their food. I liked these items from Target.

2. Water Bottles
For my pre-schooler, I choose a small bottle which is easy to open and have a straw. For my 2nd grader, I have to choose a big bottle as he can drink more water. Do you like them?
3. School Bags
I usually choose durable and cute bags. Here are a few that I liked.

4. School Supplies
Pencils, erasers, markers, sharpener, Crayons, Scissors, construction paper, glue sticks and a pencil box are some essentials to get ready for school.
I might add a notebook, pencil case, and pen for the elementary schooler.
These Ultra clean washable markers come for just $8.
I trust Ticonderoga brand for pencils. These pre-sharpened pencils come for $5.69.
5. Clothes
Last and the most important shopping is clothes. This takes more time for me.
I like these from Children's place - 3 for $15
Try these Jeans starting at $10
So, these are my Back to school essentials items. What are your favorites and not - to miss items? Please let me know in comments.
Enjoy the holidays till then :-)
Until next time,
