Back To School Art Supplies Your Kids Will Love From Crayola

Back To School shopping got you frustrated, yet again?  Let Crayola make school supply shopping a little easier this year with their wide variety of products.  There are so many options available from Crayola, no matter what grade your kiddo is in, you’re bound to find a few products that your child just can’t live without.

I live in a VERY rural area, with not a whole lot of access to anything besides a few small stores that are all a minimum 25 mile drive away.  During my trip into town yesterday I saw a whole display of Crayola goodies and I was SO thrilled to see all of the different products.  I received a very generous box of supplies from Crayola and my kids couldn’t decide who was going to get which items.  Mom and our tiny town to the rescue!  I was able to find all of the items my kids fell in love with in our package from my friends at Crayola so there’s no fighting, and tons of fun to go all around this school year…and if I could find them in my tiny town, I’m sure you’ll be able to find them where you live too!

Silly Scents are some of the newest products from Crayola and these were the items that my kids (and probably myself) were most excited about in our package.  These outrageously fun Silly Scents combine many of the same bright, colorful art products you’ve come to expect from Crayola but with a whiff of something extra.  Silly Scents markers, crayons and colored pencils contain fun-smelling colors that offer a multi-sensory scent-sation!  Kids will sniff and sketch the day away on creative projects that smell as good as they look!  Let these sweet smells inspire your little ones this school year and see just how creative they can be.  Silly Scent selections currently available are:

• Silly Scents Washable Markers
• Silly Scent Markers (in various pack sizes)
• Silly Scents Twistable Crayons (in various pack sizes)
• Silly Scents Colored Pencils

Of course, Crayola still has all of those traditional supplies we’ve all come to know and love over the years.  In fact, Crayola was always my favorite brand of coloring supplies when I was a kid and is still my favorite to purchase for my own children.  One thing that I love about Crayola is the wide variety of products they offer in the same high-pigment colors we all look for.  I have one child in high school, one child in middle school, and one child in kindergarten, so the wide variety of items is especially nice when picking out items for their individual needs.  Whether you’re looking for colored pencils, crayons, or markers, the selection Crayola offers is unbeatable.

Let Crayola guide the way this year and alleviate a little bit of that Back To School stress all of us parents deal with.  Crayola has a Shop By Grade feature which makes it super easy to see exactly what items are perfect for your little one so you can shop for all of your children, no matter their age, all in one convenient spot.

Stay Sharp This Back To School Season With Classroom Friendly Supplies

 

As I’m sure you all know, I spent some time homeschooling my kids and even doing an at-home preschool curriculum with my daughter.  One thing that was noticeably frustrating throughout our school experience was not only finding a well-working pencil sharpener, but one that was easy to use for my son who’s a lefty.  when I came across the pencil sharpener that Classroom Friendly Supplies makes I knew I just had to try it out.

I had high hopes when I got in my new pencil sharpener and I was eager to see if it would live up to expectation.  Man was I completely surprised!  The noise is almost non-existent when sharpening a pencil which is perfect whether you’re using it at home or in the classroom.  My kids get distracted by the smallest little noises so Back To School this year will be a great time to put this pencil sharpener into full use.  With less noise to distract the kiddos, I have a feeling homework time will be more productive and less frustrating (for me) than previous years.  The point on the pencils are perfect every time and the mount makes it easy to put in a position that’s perfect each time whether you’re left handed or right handed.

Here’s how it works:

The way that the pencil sharpener holds the pencil and guides it along during sharpening is one of the most genius things I think I’ve ever seen.  Where were these when I was a kid?!  I would’ve loved having these in my classroom as a kid, and I have to say I’m pretty excited about having one in my home as an adult!  The ease of use makes it perfect for all of my children, even my little one who’s just going into kindergarten.  She has fallen in love with how easy it is to sharpen pencils and has recently been using a lot of colored pencils to draw, and I have a hunch it’s just so she can sharpen them again, haha!

Whether you’re shopping for Back To School supplies for home or the classroom, you can’t go wrong with the Classroom Friendly Supplies pencil sharpener.
