One of the best things about the late summer has got to be the back to school sales and picking up kids school supplies. There’s something about sorting through all the supplies needed to get through the school year that makes life exciting. Even kids who don’t enjoy school look forward to the shopping excursion. The key to keeping the experience fun instead of stressful will always be advanced planning. The first thing you need to do is look at your schedule and try to find out if there’s any possible way that you can possibly go during a period of time when the shops won’t be so busy. The ease of being able to take all of your kids and move through stores that aren’t over crowded with other families shopping for kids school supplies more than makes up for taking a day off work. Another thing that will make the day easier, will be making arrangements to have a good friend who has children your own kids get along with go on the kids school supplies shopping trip with you. Not only will you be able to split the travel costs, but two sets of eyes on the kids makes things easier, your kids will like having friends, and you’ll have someone who can give you a second opinion on the back to school clothing you select. Most schools provide a list of items you child should have when they go back to school the first day. Bring the list of needed kids school supplies with you, don’t assume you’ll remember everything. If possible, contact the teacher your child will have and find out if they have any additional things to add to the list. Back to school shopping is a great time to pick up things like a copy of the books they’ll be reading during the school year so they can get a jump on their studies. Purchasing notebooks, pencils, and backpacks is an important part of back to school shopping, but the entire day shouldn’t devoted to picking up basic kids school supplies. You should also use the time to make sure they have a good pair of shoes, as well some clothes. When picking out the clothes, keep in mind your child will still be growing. You want clothing that they’ll be able to wear all year long so you should go a size or two bigger. Since kids are rough on clothing, you want to make sure the items are well made. Also, don’t make any final decisions about the clothes without first consulting your child. They’re the ones who has to wear what you pick out, they should get some say in the matter.
