Life
Whether your little ones are returning to a very different learning environment full of social-distanced desks and all-day masks, or you're continuing down the path of virtual school while trying to keep the rest of the family's routines on track, this certainly isn't going to be a typical fall for anyone. The autumn routines we took for granted might be gone (or at least...hibernating?), but we're all trying to make back-to-school feel as fun — and as normal — as possible. One way to do that? Back-to-school shopping!
The checklists may be different this year, but the spirit remains the same: With some fresh, fun tools in hand, the start of a new school year can be a time of unlimited potential and excitement, not one of stress and monotony. With items like a bright stainless steel water bottle and bold new tights for school, your child can stroll into those sanitized or virtual classrooms with confidence.
