Let’s face it, teachers work hard. Not only do they work hard, they often use a lot of their own resources to make the school environment a great one for your kiddos. So when teachers send home a “wish list” of sorts with different consumable school supplies, I don’t mind picking some up.

This is a cute way to contribute some supplies to your child’s classroom, and it would be a good gift anytime since they use supplies all year!

I had all of these supplies to decorate the container already laying around my house, so once I had made a quick Target run, this was one of those easy “naptime” crafts. Gotta love those, especially these days. 😉

Some old standards, like fat glue sticks and Crayola crayons (the best!!) definitely had to be included, but how fun are these colorful Bic XtraFun #2 pencils?! I received some through being a BzzAgent so I was able to try them out and see how smoothly they write, and if it’s possible to love an eraser, I think I love this one. Thanks to their bright colors they were perfect for something like this!

What’s your favorite back to school item?
