Elementary School Supplies - 5 Things You May Not Have Considered
So you're shopping for elementary school supplies
, checking things off the list. You've got crayons, tissue, ruler, pencils, lined papercheck, check, check. Granted, these are the basics necessary to start elementary school with. But in all the list-keeping, item-checking back-to-school frenzy, you may be missing out on the joy and delight of those special items, the kind of things that will add sizzle and sparkle to the elementary school adventure.
In other words, there are probably some school supplies you haven't thought of. These won't appear on the school-issued shopping lists, but they're great to have. There are some students that state these are basic necessities as well. What's more, these supplies will help to spark inspiration in your elementary scholar.
1. Personalized Stuff - Having personalized school supplies immediately creates charm. By adding his or her name to a lunchbox, backpack, or pencil, you add a level of appeal that's impossible to achieve otherwise. By having them personalized, it also takes out a lot of the boredom of these everyday items, turning them into possessions that are highly prized. Buying personalized school items means that you will, of course, purchase the supplies on the list. However, instead of the same-old boring things you can order supplies with style and panache.
2. Desk Organizer - Elementary school desks can easily become a jumbled mess of papers, pencils, and who-knows-what-else. There's an easy way to eliminate the messiness. A simple plastic desk organizer is sheer genius when it comes to keeping things ship-shape. By investing a few dollars in a desk organizer, you can help cultivate your child's sense of orderliness and decorum. Not only that but they make life a lot easier since it's much easier to find exactly what they need when they need it.
3. A Pencil Box or Bag - While on the subject of organization, don't forget a pencil box. It's a given that whichever pencil, pen or eraser you need will wind up in the hardest to access location the moment you need it. A pencil box is the perfect solution. Get one, and your child will seldom lose those fancy personalized pencils.
4. Mechanical Pencils - Guess what happens to the traditional yellow number two pencils? For starters, they break. Plus, they need to be sharpened. Furthermore, they are way too tempting to gnaw on. The solution is mechanical pencils. Even a first-grader can use a mechanical pencil with ease. Just make sure you buy extra lead refills.
5. Thermos - If you send your child to school with lunch everyday, a thermos is a must-have. Juice boxes and sandwiches get boring day after day. With a thermos, you can serve up delicious hot meals such as spaghetti, hot dogs, soup, chili, macaroni - you name it. Having a thermos means you've got the ability to give them warm, nutritious meals with a lot more variety than you can have with sandwiches.
You want your child to be taken care of while at school. This simple list of elementary school supplies is a great way to get started.
