As we come to the later part of school holidays, it’s time for us parental-type folk to get ready for the new school year.
Whether we have newbies beginning, or older kids returning, one thing we’ll all need to do is work out exactly what our little ones will need for the best start to term one.
And there’s no greater flashback to your own school days than the glorious reminders that new school supplies bring back. How good was new stationery day?
Ahhh, the sweet smell of a new eraser.
Lunchboxes, school bags, name tags, and stationery – it’s such a rite of passage to start the new year with all of the things you need for a great start to learning.
We’ve scoured around and found some new exciting products and some old classics that you might want to look at for your kids in 2019.
