7 of My Favorite Back to School Finds

Our 3 boys are headed back to school just after Labor Day and while I’m still holding on fiercely to summer, I’ll admit that I’m finally looking at school supplies and other back to school items. I have come across a few products that have been too good not to share and you can find all of them on Amazon!

Here are some of my favorite, fun back to school supplies:

First on the list is this AWESOME pencil sharpener. I will admit that it’s actually in my office on MY desk right now because a) I love it and b) the kids are so obsessed with sharpening pencils, I’m afraid they are going to break it! 🙂

Amazeko Ice Cream Truck Pencil Sharpener (see picture above): This pencil sharpener has flashing lights and plays ice cream truck music while your child sharpens his/her pencil! It’s battery-operated (comes with 4 AAA batteries) and has carbon steel blades for durability. The sharpener has a safety shut-off while emptying shavings and is easily portable. You can see it in action in this video.

Paper Mate Handwriting Mechanical Pencils with Fashion Wraps: How cute are these pencils?! I love the patterns and that they are mechanical. If your house is like ours, there’s always a shortage of pens/pencils when you need them!

Paper Mate Flair Felt Tip Pens: These are actually for me because I’m OBSESSED with Paper Mate felt tip pens. I use them to color code my lists, planner, journaling, and just about anything I can. Since the boys always steal them, I have a backup set ready to go! 

First Day of School Sign: Because I’m always scrambling at the last minute to find a printable first day of school sign! 🙂 I love that this one is reusable and you can change it up for each child. Grab some liquid chalk markers and you’re good to go!
Blue Sky Academic Planner: This year my oldest son will be in fifth grade and we have purchased an academic planner for him to encourage him to be responsible for his work and academic assignments. Using a planner with a fun design and personalizing it as needed will help your child get excited about being organized!
Emoji Post It Notes: Post It notes are AWESOME for quick to-do lists, reminders or school notes and I love these cute emoji notes with 4 different designs. If you have to give a written reminder, make it fun! They would also make cute lunchbox notes…
iPhone Protective Case AND Battery Charger: I’m a HUGE fan of products that can do double duty, so if your tween or teen has an iPhone this protective case doubles as a battery charger– no more using the excuse that their phone died! 🙂
