🎒 “School Things I’d Actually Buy for My Kids”
10
items School shopping can get overwhelming FAST 😅 so I put together the things I’d actually spend my money on for my kids—from backpacks and lunch boxes to water bottles, stationery and those little school extras we somehow always forget. 🎒✏️🍎
I’m choo...
Such a cute preschool/kindergarten option. I’d choose one of the prints they’re obsessed with because anything that makes them excited to carry their own bag is a win for me.
Wildkin 12 Inch Toddler Backpack - Trains, Planes, Trucks
For the child who wants a little bit of EVERYTHING. 😂 Fruit here, crackers there, sandwich in the middle—and somehow lunch suddenly looks much more exciting.
Bentgo Kids Lunch Box - Leakproof Bento-Style
The built-in cooling idea is what sold me. Especially when you’re packing yogurt, cheese or fruit and don’t want to spend the morning wondering whether lunch will still be nice by noon.
Bentgo Kids' Chill Leakproof Lunch Box
This is the lunch box I’d choose when sandwiches every day just aren’t happening. 😂 I love being able to send something warm while still having separate spaces for fruit and snacks.
OmieBox Kids Insulated Leakproof Bento Lunch Box (Meadow) Pack of 2
I’m very particular about school bags because kids are NOT gentle with them 😂. JanSport is one of those backpacks I’d happily pay for because it’s lightweight, roomy and can survive being dragged around all school year.
JanSport Superbreak Backpack
This is the one I’d choose once the school books start multiplying. So many compartments, plenty of room and you don’t have to play Tetris every morning just to fit everything inside.
JanSport Big Student 17" Backpack Fits 15" Laptop Water Resistant - Blue Dusk
Loved for fun designs ✨ One of those things you realize you desperately need at 6:45 in the morning. I’d keep several in the freezer so there’s always one ready. 🧊❄️
Bentgo Buddies Glitter Reusable Ice Packs 4pk - Dinosaurs
This size is perfect for younger kids because I don’t want their water bottle weighing as much as their entire backpack. 😂 Cute, insulated and easy for little hands.
Simple Modern 14oz Summit Spidey Water Bottle Black
One of those school classics that just makes sense. Small enough for kids, insulated and sturdy enough to survive the daily backpack treatment.
Thermos FunTainer Kids
For older kids, I understand the Owala obsession. The covered drinking spout is something I especially like for school because uncovered straws rolling around classrooms make the mom in me nervous. 😂
