Ideal for older kids, this backpack has an internal laptop sleeve, an external zippered pocket for things they need easy access to and two water bottle pockets. It also has padded straps for comfort and is made from a water-repellent mesh.
Bentgo makes one of our lunch boxes for kids and this style from the brand has a removable ice pack that fits directly into the container. It also has four compartments with ideal serving sizes for kids, according to the brand. The tray is both microwave-safe and dishwasher-safe and you can choose from a blue or pink color.
This stainless steel water bottle keeps drinks cold for up to 12 hours, a sweatproof exterior and a locking ring in the lid to prevent spills and leaks, according to the brand. It holds up to 16 ounces of liquid and has a soft-grip handle for easy carrying. Your kid will also love that it comes in a variety of fun prints and colors.
A hard lining makes this lunch bag hard to crush, which helps keep your kid’s lunch intact, according to the brand. It also has high-density thermal insulation and an exterior mesh pocket to hold a standard-size water bottle. It can accommodate bento containers up to 9 inches by 6.5 inches and it comes with a swing clip that can be used to secure the lunch bag to the strap of a backpack.
You can’t really go wrong with a pair of Crocs for kids — they’re colorful, easy to put on and durable. This style is lightweight, offers a roomy fit and has a back strap that can be slid up and worn as a clog. They can also be customized with Jibbitz charms, which are also on sale.
It’s pretty much written in stone — you have to start the school year with a new pack of socks. This pack for girls comes with 20 ankle socks and is available in sizes small, medium and large. They’re made from a Spandex blend, so they have lots of stretch and are lightweight and not bulky, so they fit in all types of shoes. Hanes also has a pack for boys on sale.
The Google Pixel Watch 2 has a number of functions that are beneficial for kids — and that can be managed by parents. It can serve as a location tracker and allow you to text or call your kid when they’re at after-school activities. It has a battery life of up to 24 hours and comes with a range of Google services and the WearOS platform (based on Android), with Fitbit-supplied fitness tracking and built-in Google Assistant.
