It’s back to school time and I wanted share with y’all some of my favorite items that are a must have for this back to school season. From lunch bags to shoes, these items are some of our absolute favorites. Each item in this amazing box of goodies that Babblebox provided will be highlighted and I am going to tell you why they are a total must have for this school year and even, beyond.
Stride Rite Shoes
Stride Rite shoes have been around since I was a kid, but this particular one that Giovanni wears is found in Target and is the brand Surprise by Stride Rite. Same brand we know and love but conveniently located for us mommas right in Target. Our favorite store ladies! Giovanni is wearing the Surprize sneaker in the color Flynn black. Perfect for him to run around with at his school for Pre-K. They are machine-washable so they stand up to wear and tear plus the anti-microbial lining helps repel those yucky smells that come along with wearing shoes for long periods of time.
Funkins Lunchbags, placemats and napkins
The Funkins lunchbags, napkins and placemats are all eco-friendly are reusable. A mom, just like us, saw a need for some cute designs in the cloth napkin world and came up with the idea for Funkins. With a Montessori background, my heart loves knowing that I am giving my kids something they can take to school that is helping with the environment and also teaching them to be less wasteful. The cloth napkins not only work for inside their lunchbags but also for at home. We use the cloth placemats more at home than we do for lunch time at school but, they are absolutely important as well!
Yipes Disinfecting wipes
Kids are messy, am I right? The Yipes wipes are plant-based whenever possible and responsibly sourced so that you know your littles are wiping their hands and face with not only something that is going to help clean them up but also something that is safe for their skin to touch.
Their mission is to help kids take responsibility when it comes to hygiene and make it something that they look forward to. I use the individually packed ones in their Funkins lunch bag by adding a few to the pouch located inside. At home, we use the canister for dinner time and weekend food clean ups. Plus, I throw some of the individual ones in my diaper bag for when we are on the go. This product is one thing mamas should have on them at all times! Use the code YakToSchool for 15% off site wide.
Banana Panda educational activities
These two educational boxes from Banana Panda are perfect for Giovanni who is learning all new things in his Pre-K class. From the Observation Puzzle Space 4+ to the Suuuper Size Memory Game Wild Animals 2+, he is able to challenge his mind and we can also learn while playing. I strongly believe that the best learning can be done through play!
I also love that the outer space puzzle came with a huge poster that he can try to follow for putting the puzzle together. The super sized memory game makes it easy for his little hands to turn the cards over as well! Use the code playandlearn for 15% off, valid July 10-September 30.
Jogoball interactive game console
The perfect interactive game for Adylee, the Jogoball is a screen free gaming console that will challenge the minds of not only children as young as 8 but even adults too. There are thousands of hours worth of games and they even have the option to purchase other sleeves. Like the Megee who can help your child learn Spanish as well. This is one interactive game that I can get behind because not only challenge their mind but it also is screen free. Use the code BABBLE for 20% off.
smartrike
Smartrike products are definitely a fun way to get around for kiddos! Ditch the car and enjoy some fresh air with your child plus, this gives you the option to enjoy quality time with them on the way to school. These are the moments that they will remember, those walks to school with mom while riding on their Smartrike products. Check out all of the fun products that Smartrike has to offer! Use the code KIMMY15 to save on their website!
These are some of my absolute favorite products to start the school year off with and also to use when not in school.
Those disinfectant wipes are a necessity, especially with flu season coming up!
Thanks for sharing your suggestions!
Love your suggestions for non-school school supplies.
Interesting! I’d only bought stride rite’s for my 1year old. Looks like their soles get a bit chunkier as they get older!
These are all great products! My kids would enjoy the game console
These look great. You’ve got everything covered. Love the Yikes.
Love the cloth napkins. With the rate that the environment is falling apart I’m happy to do my part. Especially with how many paper towels kids can go through cloth is a great alternative.
Stride Rites are the best shoes for kids! I love those lunch bags too.
I really like those Flynn sneakers!
Great finds! I would love to get that shoes for my son who loves running and walking most of the time. LOL!
A good pair of shoes and wipes are a definite must!
What a great list the JOGOBALL INTERACTIVE GAME CONSOLE looks like a lot fun for kids I may need to look at that one for some littles I know.
Such great finds! The disinfecting wipes are so important especially during the times we are currently in.
These are great finds! We would love to check out the Banana Panda Educational Activities. I believe this will be helpful for my little boy. The outer space puzzle looks fun.
These are great items for back to school. We loved Stride Rite and I miss the days when my kids were little!
I love back to school season! These are some great buys!
You found so many great things for back to school!
Good to read that Jogball also works for adults!
Ooh these look like some cool finds. Always fun buying new stuff before a big event 😊
I’ve never heard of babble box before but these finds are absolutely amazing!
