Don’t hate us. We know it’s too soon, truly. But at least there are fun school supplies!
We stumbled across the school supply aisle the other day at Target, and we just felt inspired to share a little. We have two middle schoolers this year. [Hold me.] And people turn into rabid zombies when the school supplies are released. And because school supplies and art supplies and stupid holidays and their aisle full of ridiculous advertising sometimes make us happy. And by sometimes, we mean all the time. They remind us of fresh beginnings, and honestly, if one kiddo is having a little anxiety with the start of school, I’m happy to buy the entire aisle of locker decor. Just saying. So because school supplies don’t have to be boring, we thought we’d round up our very favorites!
Fun school supplies! Even if we’re totally NOT ready. So without further ado…
{Affialiate links below.}
Keychains:
• This really fun Millennium Falcon keychain – especially fun for our 8th grader
• A really fun version for anyone who loves ice cream
• And this one for all the moms out there because really I picked this one for me.
Writing Utensils:
• Because even if they’re not on the list, colored pencils always should be.
• And so should gel pens.
Cut and Staple and Tape and Sharpen all the things:
• This stapler for the older crew. And this one for those who love it a little more delicate.
• Because unicorn scissors. And also, because rainbow washi tape.
• These adorable pencil sharpeners.
• I’ve used these since college and you can pry them from my cold, dead fingers. For the older kids.
• Erasers from here.
• Slap bracelet rulers. Because we like to live on the edge.
• Erasable highlighters. It’s frustrating when a line goes all rogue and then you’re reading the wrong thing. FOR. EV. VER.
• So you don’t spiral out of control. See what we did there? Wow it’s late and I need to stop writing.
• And this one for the dinosaur lover.
For the Locker:
• Lockermates. They’ve come a long way.
• Because who doesn’t love mirror balls? Or iridescent lights
• Because succulent magnets are a thing.
• And so are letter boards
• These little shelves + more lights.
Organization for the Classroom + beyond:
• These awesome pastel divers + these
• And your little board, too.
• Pencil Pouches – one of their very fave accessories that come in all kinds of colors!
• This planner here + this planner + more options here with our free 2020 + 2019 student versions!
Backpacks:
• Loving this practical approach for a simple backpack.
• Love this metallic one, too.
• Let’s be honest, the yellow one is for me.
• Cheaper version here. Not yellow. Still cute.
Fun school supplies that are totally unnecessary, don’t have a category, yet are totally adorable:
• Animal charging blocks
So what do you think of our little fun school supplies collection?
We just think it’s fun sometimes to round up a few of our faves. What are some of your faves that you’ve found? We’d love to hear. Here’s to getting those kiddos excited about the new year. Hurray for all things fresh and new.
Have an inspired day!
