I am officially the mother of a student. My oldest start voluntary pre-k this August. So what was a distant memory is my reality. I will be joining millions of other moms in the trenches of Target, online shopping and other retailers getting back packs, binders, new clothes and more.
So here are some top contenders on my shopping list. This list will be CONTINUOUSLY UPDATED THROUGHOUT AUGUST! Feel free to add your shopping list and favorite items and stores in the comments below!
1. Uneaks – The coolest sneakers around for kids! They have little windows so you can change the look of the shoe when you change their socks. My son has worn the same pair for over a year and they are in awesome condition! Available from Toddler Size 8.5 – Children’s Size 3.0.
2. Pendaflex – Students of all ages, from grade school to college, can benefit from the Smart Piling System that Pendaflex is introducing to keep kids organized. Special tabs, folders and more let kids make their “piles” more organized, so they can find homework assignments, notes and other school papers with ease.
3. Mead – Mead Activity and Wipe-Off books helps young students practice letters, shapes, numbers, math and more in a fun way. There is a whole array of books to choose from pre-k to 4th grade.










I like the list. I’ve never heard of uneaks shoes but I’m going to the store to see how they look.
