Back To School Supplies List

Written by Katy Arnold on August 29, 2024.

Let’s be real: getting back into the school routine is like gearing up for a marathon. It takes preparation, organization, and a solid plan to make it to the finish line (aka drop-off). Having a reliable back to school supplies list and sticking to a routine can make all the difference when chaos strikes before the school bell does.

And when you’re balancing a baby alongside school-aged kids, you need all the help you can get. As the back-to-school season kicks in, juggling multiple kids can feel overwhelming. But with a plan (and a few extra snacks), you’ll turn that craziness into calm. Take a deep breath—this school year, you’ve got it covered!

Managing School Pick Ups and Drop Offs

The daily school run can feel like a workout in logistics. Between getting older kids to school and keeping your baby happy, you’ve got a lot on your plate. This is where the Tushbaby Hip Carrier comes in as one of the best back to school must-haves.

Whether you’re stocking up on school supplies or racing to make the morning drop-off, the Tushbaby hip carrier keeps your baby secure while you manage backpacks, lunchboxes, and any unexpected detours.

It’s supportive, comfortable, and convenient with built-in storage and support—and it converts to a hands-free carrier with The Snug! Best of all, this chic and practical go-to for the school run doubles as a handy diaper bag to pack those baby essentials and personal items. With so many uses, it’s no wonder it’s the ultimate back to school must-have.

With Tushbaby + The Snug attachment, you can comfortably carry babies up to 45lbs while holding your school-aged child’s hand, keeping everyone safe and together during the morning rush. When it comes to back to school essentials, the Tushbaby isn’t just a carrier; it’s a game-changer.

Kindergarten School Supply List

Starting kindergarten is a big deal, and having the right back to school supplies list is key to making that first day a success. Here’s the perfect back to school list every little one needs to kick off their school journey:

Backpack: Small, easy to carry, and fits all the essentials.
Lunchbox: Durable with compartments for easy access.
Crayons: Jumbo-sized for little hands.
Washable Markers: Because we know accidents happen.
Safety Scissors: Blunt tips for safe cutting practice.
Glue Sticks: Quick-drying and mess-free.
Pencils: Preferably with extra grip for those first letters.
Erasers: Fun shapes make mistakes a little more exciting.
Pocket Folder: For all those many art projects they'll be bringing home.

Elementary School Supplies

Elementary school brings new subjects and a need for more organization—so it’s time to go back to school shopping! Here’s your list of back to school essentials for grades 1 through 5:

Notebooks: Wide-ruled, colorful, and ready for notes.
Pencils and Pencil Sharpeners: Or mechanical pencils to keep the focus on learning, not sharpening.
Erasers: Keep those fun shapes coming.
Ruler: Sturdy and seamless for those perfectly straight lines.
Glue Sticks and Liquid Glue: Ideal for all the art and science projects.
Folders: One for each subject to keep things organized.
Markers and Colored Pencils: Essential for projects and creativity.
Binders and Dividers: Start building those organization skills early.
Highlighters: For mastering the art of note-taking.

School Supplies for Middle School & High School

The stakes are higher in middle school and high school, and so is the need for the right back to school supplies list. Here’s what they’ll need:

Notebooks and Binders: College-ruled for maximum note-taking efficiency.
Pens (Black, Blue, and Red): For essays, quizzes, and annotations.
Mechanical Pencils: Always sharp for those complex equations.
Graphing Calculator and Protractor: A must for algebra and beyond.
Flash Drives: Perfect for backing up those important projects.
Laptop/Tablet: For research, assignments, and everything else.
Planner/Agenda: To stay on top of assignments and deadlines.
Post-It Notes: Ideal for quick reminders and study aids.
Locker Organizer: A well-organized locker can make a huge difference.

Getting organized for back-to-school with multiple kids might feel like a marathon, but with a little planning, you can breeze through it. Streamline the chaos by prepping early, staying flexible, and keeping everyone’s essentials in check.

Ready to simplify the season? Check out the Tushbaby shop and ensure a smooth start to every day.
