Are you always scrambling at the beginning of the school year to find the best school supplies? Well look no further! I’ve put together a list of the absolute best Amazon must haves for back to school. During this busy time of year Amazon is my saving grace! I hope this Back To School Guide makes the start of the school year easier and a little more exciting! And even if you’re not ready to start another year of school, at least your kids will have the best gear around.
Classroom Must Haves
Every classroom needs the basic essentials like crayons, colored pencils, markers, and Ticonderoga pencils! And don’t forget some colorful notebooks and kid safe scissors for taking notes and making all the fun crafts! Your teacher will be forever grateful to see these must have school supplies in their classroom.
Help keep the classroom (relatively) germ free this school year with a pack of Lysol wipes! Maybe grab 2 or 3 to help with cold and flu season this year.
I feel like these next items have become classroom essential recently. With kids spending more time learning on a laptop, they need some really cool and well performing headphones. And don’t forget to protect those little eyes with some super cute and inexpensive blue blocker glasses.
Cool Gear
I’m loving this Simple Modern Backpack and insulated lunch box this year. With over 30 designs to choose from, your kids are sure to find the perfect backpack for back to school.
Make lunches more fun with this Bento Box. The compartments make it so easy to pack different food items all in one container and it has a built in cold pack to keep lunch fresh!
I honestly don’t remember ever drinking water as a kid but heaven forbid, we leave the house without our water bottles now! My kids love these Thermoflask water bottles and I love that they don’t leak! There’s nothing worse than a wet backpack all because of a leaky water bottle! And don’t forget to grab a fun colored Stanley cup for yourself, Mom!
Not ready to introduce a phone to your kids? Still want a way to communicate with them in case of emergencies or even just a change in pickup plans? This smart watch for kids is the way to go! You can talk, text, and keep an eye on their location without the added distraction of a smart phone!
Staying Organized This School Year
Staying organized during the school year is priority #1 in my house. Between school, extra curricular activities, sports and dance practice we have A LOT going on. This planner is perfect to take on the go and has plenty of space to keep track of your busy life.
This erasable magnetic refrigerator calendar is an awesome way to keep everyone up to date on the weekly/monthly schedule, especially with 8 fun colored markers for categorizing your different activities. 
If you really want to take your organization up a notch grab one of these Skylight Calendars. Not only is this a fun and interactive digital calendar and planner, it also has a chore chart and meal planning feature. How cool!
1st Day of School Essentials
Start the 1st day of school off right with a fun alarm clock that teaches kids to wake up on their own. And don’t forget the back to school picture board for those 1st day of school pictures!
If your kids are always losing their cool new school gear and supplies try this customizable name stamp for clothing! With this name stamp, you know your items will be returned to the right kid. 
OK maybe these sandwich cutters aren’t essential but they sure are cute! Make your kid’s lunch box pop the 1st day of school with homemade uncrustables. You can also use these sandwich cutters to make uncrustable sandwiches to keep in the freezer for quicks school lunches or snacks!
For some, the first day of school can be full of anxiety and nerves, especially if you’re changing schools or starting kindergarten. First Day Jitters, Froggy Goes To School, and The Night Before Kindergarten are great books to help ease little minds about the first day of school.
Even if you’re not ready, the new school year is just around the corner! Stress less during back to school this year with these awesome Amazon finds! Hopefully these fun school essentials get your kids a little bit more excited about the new school year!
Make sure to pin and save these Amazon school essentials for later!
