Back To School Must-Haves for Smoother Mornings

It's that time of year again. Back to School! As your kids or grandkids get ready to head back into the classroom, here is our list of must-haves to ensure a smooth start to the new 2023 school year. 

1. Savvy Sleepers Kid-Size Pillowcases: Ensure your child gets a good night's sleep with these luxurious and hypoallergenic pillowcases. Made from high-quality materials, they provide comfort and promote healthy sleep habits. Add our Savvy Scrunchies for long hair or gym class.

2. Tonies Starter Set: Spark your child's imagination with Tonies, a creative audio entertainment system. The starter set includes a Toniebox and a Tonie character figurine. Kids can listen to stories, songs, and educational content by simply placing the Tonie on the box. This has been a game-changer for our founder's family.

3. Ergonomic Backpack: Invest in a sturdy and ergonomic backpack that distributes weight evenly, promoting proper posture and comfort. Look for padded straps and multiple compartments to keep school supplies organized.

4. Reusable Water Bottle: Stay hydrated throughout the school day with a durable and leak-proof reusable water bottle. Opt for a design that's easy to clean and fits in most backpack pockets.

5. Lunch Containers: Pack healthy lunches in eco-friendly and BPA-free containers if possible. Look for compartments to keep food items separate and fresh, reducing waste and promoting balanced nutrition.

6. Noise-Canceling Headphones: Create a focused study environment with noise-canceling headphones. These can help block out distractions and improve concentration during study sessions or online classes.

7. Planner or Organizer: Teach your child time management and organization skills by providing a planner or organizer. This tool will help them keep track of assignments, deadlines, and extracurricular activities.

8. Art Supplies: Foster creativity with a set of quality art supplies. Include colored pencils, markers, sketchbooks, and other materials that encourage artistic expression. What are you loving this year?

9. Scientific Calculator: For older students, a scientific calculator is a must-have for math and science classes. Make sure it's approved by the school if necessary.

10. USB Drive: Keep important digital files and presentations handy with a reliable USB drive. It's a great way to back up and transport important schoolwork.

11. Sturdy Sneakers: Comfortable and supportive sneakers are essential for physical education classes and active breaks during the school day. Anyone helping kids get out the door on time totally understands the shoe struggle.

12. Face Masks: If still relevant, provide a supply of well-fitting, comfortable face masks for your child to wear during school hours to prioritize their health and safety.

13. Personal Organizer Station: Set up a designated study area at home with a desk, chair, good lighting, and necessary supplies. This station will help your child stay organized and focused on their schoolwork.

14. Books for Pleasure Reading: Encourage a love for reading by including a few age-appropriate books your child can enjoy during their leisure time.

15. Positive Reinforcement: Last but not least, offer words of encouragement, support, and motivation to set a positive tone for the school year ahead.

By incorporating these back-to-school must-haves, you'll set your child up for a successful and enjoyable academic journey.
