At the beginning of every New Year the struggle for school supplies puts all parents in frenzy. What makes it tougher is that kids these days have their requirements of accessories they prefer.
The latest cartoon or movie inspire kids to own themed accessories they like to showcase in front of their classmates. In this article we list down the 5 basic must-haves any kid should have to help them get through their school year.
Stationary
Even as adults we constantly lose pens or pencils so just imagine what kids do. Sending a child to school with 5 pencils and 2 erasers are not the solution. There is a good chance they may come home with none of it. The key to distributing stationary over the year will be to give them only what is necessary.
At a young age child should be educated on the value and concept of keeping things safe. This won’t mean they will not misplace stationary but it will help them grow up with a sense of responsibility that will help them, as they get older.
School bags and pencil cases
Reading this you remember the rush you got walking into school with the latest school bag or fancy pencil cases. The latest cartoon character printed on the front of the school bag or key tags hanging on every zip. Children love the thrill of carrying these cool accessories with them.
Lunch boxes
Children tend to be picky eaters. Separating their food in the lunch box could encourage them to eat everything packed. If you are looking for something convenient and safe, look for lunch boxes and kids tableware online. A vast variety of colours and styles are available to suit your child’s preference.
Planner/notebook
Although in the lower grades’ children are not really required to maintain a planner, it can be a useful tool for a parent or even teacher to note down the progress of the child. Listing down what was taught and even projects assigned can help the child to get into the habit of journaling that will definitely help, as they get older. Children like owning all the colourful and creative styles of planners and notebooks available. Scribbling in them will eventually encourage them to get into the habit of writing.
Comfortable shoes
Kids run and play a lot; a comfortable pair of shoes is necessary. In order to avoid shoe cuts and the breaking of shoes due to wear and tear investing in quality, comfortable shoes are a good option.
This way your child is encouraged to play and not be afraid of wounds afterwards. A versatile pair of shoes can also be used throughout all seasons irrespective of the weather and climate. It keeps their feet protected too.
All parents like to give their child the very best they can. The options and varieties to each of these accessories are endless and enable your child to have a stocked up and enjoyable school year.
