For kids, the back to school season isn’t really unlike Christmas eve or New Year’s Eve. It’s full of anxious feelings, excitement, wonder, amazement and adventure! Think about it! Kids get new books, backpacks, supplies and new clothes for returning to school each Fall season and it’s exciting for parents to pull it all together. Just like New Year’s Eve it’s a time to reboot, refresh and prep for a new year. After all your baby is one year older and it’s crazy to think of the growth and progress and maturing that happen from year to year all throughout childhood. I know we’ve all happily moved into online shopping (just a little bit more with each season) because of the convenience factor and the time saving factor so I’m sure this year will be no different except that I’m probably going to do ALL of my back to school supply shopping online!
Amazon improves with every year taking into account what moms need and kids want by creating the Amazon Happy School Year link so everything you could possibly have to purchase is all in one place. That’s my kinda’ shopping!
My daughter Samantha, YouTuber at Grow With Samantha, is working on her back to school shopping and supplies and adding a little twist of fun this year. Samantha specifically asked for a generic plain back pack and is planning on customizing her own back pack this year. Hey, any way to get kids excited about learning is alright with me! So, we’ve gotten a plain back pack and now we’re purchasing some fun embellishments so she can feel a bit more original. We also ordered a fire 7 Kids Edition tablet which is great for educational learning, reading and stem projects right from the tablet.
What makes shopping easy with that Happy School Year Program by Amazon is that you can filter by boy or girl, filter by grade, and even supply items like notebooks, pens or pencils for instance. Finally someone thought about what school families need and delivered!
Below is list of my top 5 favorite Amazon Happy School Year supplies;
- Unicorn flipping sequin back pack. Although we’re customizing our own backpack this year, this is by far my favorite back pack for little tikes and tween girls! Sequins are still all the rage and unicorns never go out of season or style!
- fire 7 Kids Edition Tablet. This is the latest greatest edition and comes in a colored case to help with accidental drops (you pick the color). The case is SUPER sturdy with high density foam!
- Welch’s Fruit Snacks. My mom was a big Welch’s fan and I find myself always reaching for Welch’s as well – sometimes it’s just great to stick with what I know works and will get eaten.
- Metal LunchBots containers: I absolutely love these – When I was a kid we moved from a metal lunch box to a plastic lunch carrier that never lasted thru the year. I prefer the heavy duty containers, you can etch your name into the metal on the underside and I like the dividers inside!
- Volume Limiting Head Set: Lets face it… so much of what the kids learn now is online so you’ll want to pick up a nice headset. My requirements of for volume limiting controls. I do not prefer ear buds (just a parental preference)
