We went back to school with Staples!

It's that time again. The backpacks have been packed, lunches made, and a fresh collection of school supplies have made their way to the classroom. I thought I'd give you a bit of insight into a few very cool products we packed for school this year! My daughter can't wait to use these things (and I have to admit, I'm a bit jealous. I love school supplies!) When your kids come home with their supply lists this week, head to Staples for everything you need.

Let's take a closer look at some of these things, shall we?

This fun bunny-shaped pencil sharpener is probably one of her most favourite items we received from staples. She loves bunnies and bright colours, so this was DEFINITELY going to find its way into her pencil case.

Speaking of pencil case, this is one of the ones she took to school this year. It's nice and big, offering lots of room for her essentials and it's easy to open and close. It's even in her favourite colour!

She was so excited to get this salad container by Sistema! She insisted I pack her lunch it on the first day (which I did, of course). You can find out more about how I turned her sandwich into a butterfly in tomorrow's post.

We also received super-awesome scissors, markers, erasers, folders, rulers, crayons, and more from Staples. Each item is both fun and functional, which is why Staples is the perfect place to get school supplies! We will also be using some of these products to set up our homework station at the house, too. Stay tuned for a post about that this week, too.

I used to think that Staples was all about functional office supplies that wouldn't appeal to most kids, but I couldn't be more wrong! They have a full selection of awesome, fun, and very kid-friendly items that will give your kids the tools they need to succeed in school! And the best part is, because Staples prices are also affordable, when your kids inevitably misplace or forget their items at school, on the bus, or goodness knows where else, it won't hurt your pocketbook to replace them. That's always an important consideration with school-age kids! (Yes, need to teach kids to take care of their things, but let's be honest. Sometimes that lesson takes awhile to learn).
