School shopping isn’t really complete until you’ve got a brand new pack of crayons in your cart and your child is debating between several fashionable animal backpacks. Even if you happen to get the teacher who doesn’t require a lengthy list of supplies, it’s no secret that school supplies can cost a pretty penny — especially if you have more than one kid in school. If you’re looking to stock your child for the upcoming school year, but don’t have a large budget to work with, don’t fret! Amazon has supplies that are perfect for parents who are budget conscious going into the new school year. With lower prices and great deals every day on hundreds of school items, Amazon is parents’ one-stop shop for school supplies!
Plastic Folders with Pockets, 5-pack
Organize in style with this flexible yet sturdy folder ($7) that comes in a wide variety of colors like red, blue, orange, and yellow. Not only do these folders look great, they’re pretty much guaranteed to stand up to the wear and tear of a backpack.
Elmer’s Glue
How in the world could we get through a school year without a bottle of Elmer’s glue ($1.88)? It’s impossible! From their first craft projects to their science fair dioramas — Elmer’s is every kid’s school supply staple.
3. Up & Up College Ruled 1 Subject Spiral Note
Let them take notes and get organized with these durable One-Subject Notebooks ($11.65 for 6). Personally, these are some of our favorite notebooks — they are wide enough to squeeze tons of notes on them, and the paper doesn't rip easily either!
Crayola 24 Count Crayons
The world is full of possibilities and your child has a chance to imagine it all with this 24 pack of Crayola crayons ($7.15 for pack of 2). Imagine all of the colorful works of art your kids can make!
BIC #2 Xtra Sparkle Mechanical Pencils
Even the world’s greatest poets need an eraser sometimes, which is why mechanical pencils are far superior to pens in our opinion. Not only do these BIC mechanical pencils ($6.99 for 15) come in fun colors, they’re sparkly. Consider us sold.
Iridescent Pencil Case
This is quite possibly our favorite item on the list. Look how cute this pencil case is ($15)! Sparkly and see-through, your child will always know exactly where their favorite heart-shaped eraser is.
Jumbo Paper Clips
We love these oversized paper clips ($9 for pack of 40). The first reason is that they’re cool looking. The second is that they can hold together SO much stuff. Perfect for book reports and getting your child organized, these paper clips are a must have.
8. Rainbow Wood Pencils
Look, we can’t tell you to put these crazy-cute pencils ($10 for pack of 12) in your iridescent pencil case, but you should totally put these crazy-cute pencils in your iridescent pencil case. It just makes sense!
