Fun Back-to-School Supplies

School is just around the corner (or maybe even started for some kids), and while my kids are still too little, I have found a few fun back-to-school items that I just had to save and share!

The Parents magazine website has some cute backpacks organized by age. Love the bunny ears!

Rachel Rudman, an occupational therapist with a specialty in early intervention, has created these "Grasshopper Preschool Prep Kits," above. (via Daily Candy) Looks so fun that I want to go back to preschool!


When it comes to favorite parts of the school day, lunch is right up there with recess.  Here are some fun lunch boxes...


I found this awesome Scooby Doo Mystery Machine lunch box and thermos on Amazon.  Cool!!



Stephen Joseph has some really cute lunch bags for kids, too.




These cute Japanese style "bento" boxes are great too, and can help cut down on the containers, baggies, etc needed to separate food items.

Speaking of lunches, I remember my mom leaving little notes in my lunch box every now and then.  Kellogg's picked up on this little idea by creating Rice Krispies Treats with white space on the wrapper just for this purpose. Clever!  I can't seem to find a link online but took a photo of this magazine ad above from my Family Fun magazine.  You can slip a little piece of paper in too, or write on sandwich bags.




Here are some really fun pencil cases, too!

I know I'm going to cry the day my babies head off to school, but I can't wait to shop for these cute supplies and leave little special surprises in their lunches!  ;-)
