Well, maybe they’re not thrilled about relinquishing their hold on summer and heading back into a classroom. But we do know that they love fun stationery and fresh new supplies – the cool stuff, from colourful notebooks and pens, to pencil cases and accessories that are just plain awesome. So go on, get creative with school supplies this year to help build excitement for back to school – because it’s coming! Who says school supplies have to be boring?!

Why oh why didn’t they have these sweet pastel highlighters in our youth, instead of glaring neon colours? Students actually enjoy making notes with these beauties.

Clipboards may just be our favourite life hack to keep our kids organized. This one comes with a sweet recycled notepad for all of their daydreams.

This is a fabulous idea – an adhesive pen loop that can be stuck to any binder or notebook. The nifty loops corrals a pen right when and where you need it – next to paper. We love the assortment of colours allowing for some fab mixing and matching.

Being bribed with scratch and sniff stickers worked on us as kids. Here’s hoping these divinely scented stickers will brighten their outlook.

Finally, scissors that work well and look snazzy, too. These ones in distinctive blue and orange will be easy to identify and they work with a variety of materials.

Fabulous pen, bright orange colour – if that’s what it takes to get them excited about writing and school, we’ll take it.

If they love totes – as oh, so many tweens do – they’ll love this large natural tote from the Strand Book Store in NYC (if you know, you know).

Lap desks are amazing for everything from playing a game of UNO in the car to serving as a tablet holder while watching on the couch. They’re also fabulous for our kids who like to work or create anywhere other than their actual desks. The cool pattern on this one makes it even easier to love.

Do your kids like stamping? Most kids do. This date stamp allows them to mark the date on their work with one satisfying imprint.

Perfect for writing or drawing, this book also comes with prompts for idea generation as well as problem-solving tips and how-tos about mind mapping and association.

They’ll love subtly telling everyone that they’re the boss with these bright blue pencils. With nine to a pack, they’ll also always have a writing utensil handy.

It seems like a gadget, but it’s actually used by many serious artists. This motorized eraser not only provides control, it’s also just plain neat to use.

It’s a lot more fun to fill out a planner and get organized with this variety of stickers. Running the gamut from studious to fun, these will be a great addition to a calendar.

For when there’s milk or pizza money for school, or maybe a special treat from the store, this retro coin pouch is a great way to keep everything safe.

Our little gamers will be more than happy to keep their erasers and pencils in this cool pouch. It also comes with two classic pencils and is durable enough to last the school year.

This super well-made binder does a wonderful job at keeping all those loose-leaf papers, drawings and important missives safely ensnared on their way home. Really, it’s as much a benefit for us as it is for them. We love that it holds 150 pieces of paper and comes in stylish colours and design.

These amazing paint markers are all the rage. They allow for the versatility of paint with all of the control of a marker. No brushes to clean, no water cup to spill – and there are so many colours, you might just find yourself sneaking them to unleash your own creativity.

The Original Student Calendar still reigns supreme. We love the super simple and yet useful layout of this agenda, perfect for the kiddos to capture homework assignments and other important events. The cool colours are an added bonus.
