Back-to-School Faves for Home & Classroom

Back-to-School Faves for Home & Classroom

JULY 21ST, 2020

For many families, back-to-school season is a little different this year. Some kids are getting ready to head back to class with new safety protocols, while other families will be doing homeschool or distance learning. It’s a tough situation, but it’s important that we do what we can to make girls feel safe and excited to learn.    

Below are some of our favorite back-to-school essentials—all chosen to make girls smile or lighten their hearts.

Masks

It feels like there are a million different kinds of face masks on the market today, and yet, none of them are perfect! We expect face masks to get better and better over the next couple of months, but here are our top picks right now.

These cotton masks are machine washable. We love the happy vibe of the rainbows and that the patterns were designed by kids! Plus, 100% of the profits go to NYC hospitals.

Our favorite thing about these masks is the price! At $12.50 for 5 masks, they’re much more affordable than many of the other children’s face masks on the market. We found these masks to be comfy and like that girls can express themselves with so many different colors/patterns.

Home “Classroom” Decor

For families that are doing homeschooling or distance learning, we like the idea of dedicating a space to school, even if it’s just a corner! That way kids can get the feeling of “going to school” even when they’re staying home. The simplest (and perhaps most fun) approach to this might be to give your little girl some construction paper, scissors and tape, and let her loose! But, if you’d prefer to buy something, here are a couple of ideas.

If your little girl is a fan of Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls, she’ll love these posters! Choose from famous women from history like Amelia Earhart, Frida Kahlo and Malala Yourafzai. There’s also a set of postcards that girls can use to make their own classroom collage. 

Wall Pops! has dozens of repositionable and removable wall decals that stick right on to your wall and start at just $4. We like the idea of using a map like this (it’s actually dry erase, which is cool too), or a happy/colorful pattern.

Pencils

Every student needs pencils! Here are a couple of packs of pencils that make us smile.

This pack includes fun #2 and colored pencils, and is affordable.

For girls that prefer mechanical pencils, we love the bright, cheerful colors of these pencils from Bic.

Notebooks

When it comes to notebooks, there are so many fun choices available these days. Here are a couple of our faves for folks that are doing back-to-school shopping online.

This fun notebook has wide lines, perfect for littler girls.

Girls that like space will love this cute notebook. Amazon also has composition books with other patterns, like robots and rainbows.

If you're looking for something a little smaller and high-quality, you might like our journal! It's filled with blank lined pages, ready for any homework assignment or writing prompt.

We hope these ideas make your back-to-school prep a little easier.
