First Look
School Supplies
Crayola Washable Markers and Erasable Colored Pencils Crayola is the best school supply brand. I had to buy both of these products this year for my kids.
Crayola Crayons My favorite part of back to school was buying a new box of crayons. These make me want to bring out a coloring book and color.
Pen + Gear Notebooks Both of these notebooks are collage ruled. These are a staple in elementary school.
Construction Paper There was a nice selection of contstuction paper. I would've liked it to be package together to keep everyhting in place, but my kids will have a good time crafting with this.
Folders Every year, my kids have to have various colored, two pocket folders. I received two pocket folders.
Pencil Pouch, Highlighters, Dry Erase Markers, Glue Stick, Pens and Pencils There was a supply pouch loaded with products. The dry erase markers are pricey and teachers always need them. The highlighers are something my 11 year old is frequently using this year. There were four pens, two red/two black. There were 9 pen + gear pencils, plus two glue sticks.
More Supplies There was a pencil sharpener, a pair of scissors, and two pink rubber erasers.
Black Composition Notebook This black notebook is ready to be filled with various essays.
Loose Leaf Paper There was a large stack of loose leaf paper. Like the construction paper, I wish this was packaged, but we will use this for homework.
Hygiene Items
Baby Wipes These baby wipes another staple on school supply lists. These are great for cleaning up messy hands.
Kleenex Tissues These small packs of tissues are small enough to tuck in a backpack.
Reusable Mask Each box will include a reusable mask. Most schools that are in-person are requiring masks. If your child wears a mask to school, it's a good idea to keep a spare in their backpack.
Activities
Card Games The activity for this box wasa deck of card with two games to play: “Big Dawg” and “It's War”.
Final Thought: This subscription is great for people who are avoiding shopping in person. I tried to get all of our children's supplies without going to the store. It took several trips and lots of planning to get everything. This subscription lets you get supplies conveniently, without going store to store. Children will also get new supplies every three months, which helps keep school exciting and your supplies refreshed. Check out SmartE Boxes!
