School Clothes and Supplies

School Clothes and Supplies

Sending your kids back to school at the end of the Summer can be tricky and stressful. You have to spend a ton of money on clothes that your kids probably won’t wear and school supplies that they will hardly use. But how can you make going back to school easier? Here are some tips to ease some of your stress.

Clothes

You want your kids to have a different outfit for each day, maybe more depending on how often you do laundry. Don’t go overboard and don’t forget that they own other clothes. And remember, review the school’s dress code before you go shopping. Some schools can be strict so make sure that each clothing item is approved.

School Supplies

You want your kids to be prepared for anything school may throw at them but being over-prepared can be detrimental too. Also, buy a new backpack and lunch bag, if you send homemade lunches. Buy a cool design because you don’t want to have to buy another one later on!

So, buy a notebook for each class, or subject, and perhaps a folder or binder depending on the organization needed for the workload. And buy lots of pencils! Kids at every age forget and lose pencils throughout the year so be prepared and stock up!
