In less than a month, children and teens will be returning to school. So, now is the perfect time to start shopping! Students need various supplies for different subjects, as well as items that will help them stay organized. We offer a wide range of products, so this is just a sampling of the back-to-school must haves that you can pick up today.

Supplies for Every Subject

Whatever grade your child is going into, you need to get them the right tools to succeed. Here are some must-have items for your back-to-school shopping list:

Math

Pick up this calculator, pencils, erasers, rulers, and more, and your kids are ready to start solving equations!

Art

You might not know it, but you could be raising the next Emily Carr or Claude Monet! Get them started on their creative journey with the following supplies:

• Sketchbooks
• Charcoal pencils
• Watercolour paint
• Brushes
• Scissors
• Glue
• And various fun crafting items, perfect for mixed media projects

English

Creative writing is always more fun with a great notebook. Though we use computers a lot, ideas just seem to flow better on paper.

You can never have enough pens, especially in English class. Also, get your kids highlighters in their favourite colours, so they’re ready to mark those inspiring quotations.

 

Items for Organization

For many students, the biggest challenge of going back to school is getting organized and staying organized. There are some great DIY ideas out there that will help them at home and at school. One that they can do themselves is to duct tape or magnetize essential school supplies and attach them to their locker door. Just make sure to pick them up a lock, so everything stays secure!

Another huge problem for kids when it comes to staying organized is losing papers. Supplies like these binder clips, will help solve this problem. Other items like staplers, hole punches, and tape, can also be really helpful.

Finally, with all the school and extracurricular activities going on, it is hard not to forget something. A quick, inexpensive, and low-tech solution is sticky notes. Both you and your children can put them in places like the front door, and things like forgotten lunches and gym strip will be a thing of the past.
