Back to School - Lunch bags & School Stationary guide

I cannot believe the School holidays are nearly over, I say this every year, but this year they have just flown by! Now is the time to start thinking about preparing your child to go back to school. In our house it is time for a trip to the hairdressers, shopping for new shoes,uniform, bag and stationery, oh the joys! I am sure we can squeeze in a few more days of fun before it’s time to start the School routine again.

The only part of this yearly ritual my son actually enjoys is picking his back to school bag and stationery. Make sure your little and big ones are all set for their new year at school with this fantastic collection of children’s lunch bags and stationery.

With character lunch boxes ready to fill with a healthy lunch and treats. Stationary for the primary school children to luxury stationery for the older children to create exquisite masterpieces.

Black or blue pens
Pencils
Coloured pencils
Ruler
Rubber
