After a long, hot, relaxing summer full of swimming pools and late-night snacks, kids aren’t always thrilled to trudge out of bed to start the new school year.
But there is something about a new back pack or case full of unused pencils that make the first weeks of classes that little bit easier. And just because it’s school time doesn’t mean the fun has to stop completely. School supplies that have a little flair can transform a mopey child with the school time blues into a motivated and bright-eyed little golden star.
Back packs- Even if the old back pack is as durable as the day it came off the assembly line, kids always want a new one every school year. This is probably because they will 
have to see their back pack every day and gosh darnnit, it’s time for a change! Also, for kids in uniform their back pack is one of the only ways to show their personality and style to the world. For kids and teens with a wild, yet trendy, side there is the Animal Print School Backpack or Kids Sling Bag with furry decal. For the earthy child there is the Eco Back Pack in the love, peace, and recycle varieties (made from recycled plastic water bottles and trimmed with naturally biodegradable canvas!). And for kids of any hobby or interest, there’s the good ole patterned Childs Backpack, with 50 fabric choices to choose from for boys and girls such as “jungle,” “fairies,” “soccer,” or “pirates.”
Carriers- Bags aren’t just for backs or books. A reusable lunch bag for instance can be a great, more environmentally friendly alternative to the sack lunch paper bag. These adorable Lunch Bags are recommended by the Center for Environmental Health as a good alternative to PVC-loaded vinyl lunch bags, neoprene protects, insulates and cushions without worry of lead or other bad-for-you chemicals. And they’re also just gosh darn cute and look like watermelons, apples, monkeys, cows or ladybugs. For a super trendy, yet furrier, animal lunch bag there are the Animal Print Lunch Bags in jaguar, lynx or zebra. Just as stylish is the Polka Dots Duffle Bag with interior nylon lining; it will set any girl apart from her less fashionable classmates in gym class.
Nap Mats and More- Bring your toddler the comfort of home with fun patterned nap mats. The Dinosaur Nap Mat will have your little one dreaming of archeological digs, and the Buckaroo Cowboy Nap Mat that extends into a Sleeping Bag is perfect for wranglin’ up a hyper preschooler for naptime. Because more functionality means more fun, the Dog Plush Pillow Purse is perfect for preschoolers to use as a bag for supplies, as well as a naptime sleeping accessory.
Going back to school can be a stressful time for kids, but that doesn’t mean they can’t do it in style. So relieve some of that September anxiety this year with new Artistic Sensations back to school supplies. Sometimes a new Buddy Computer Desk or Student Desk can provide the push your child needs to get their homework done every night, just like a shiny new gel pen just begs to be written with.
Wishing you lots of gold stars, an A plus in parenting, and a Happy School Year from Artistic Sensations.
