Since we already took care of our college aged kids, now we must start thinking about getting our elementary, middle, and high school aged kids ready for school. Obviously, we cannot help you with pencils, notebooks, and folders, but we can help you with the bags that they carry those items in and some other essentials.
- We know every kid has to have a backpack that they identify with whether they are in kindergarten or a senior in high school. With that in mind, make sure you select one that is comfortable for all-day carry. Totes and cross-body bags may look cool, but in the long run they are bad for the back.
- It doesn’t matter where you live, it’s important to have good rain gear that will keep your kids protected year-round. The Red Ledge Youth Rainstop Parka or Columbia Girl’s Arcadia Jacket are both great jackets. They are packable, waterproof, breathable, and have hoods.
- A water bottle or tumbler is essential! Walking to and from classes is exercise and kids will exert energy. It’s important to keep them hydrated throughout the day. Drinking enough water a day helps to regulate temperature, prevent infection, and also helps with cognition and mood. Check out our selection of Yeti and Hydroflask water bottles. Both will keep your kid’s water cold for hours and most sizes can easily fit in the side pocket of their backpack.
- Don’t forget the Anti-bacterial Hand Gel and face masks. They are a must for this school year!
