Back to School! Can y’all believe it’s that time of year again ALREADY?!
Back to school season is always bittersweet for us parents, it’s another reminder of how fast our kids are growing up, and how old we are getting ourselves, yikes! And kids, well… they seem to either love it, or hate it. Mine, love it! So imagine how excited they were to get some of the best back to school gear around from our friends at Babbleboxx!
Stride Rite Shoes for Harpy
Y’all know Harper is my girly girl and loves anything she can wear, especially shoes. She was SO excited when I showed her the new Surprize by Stride Rite she literally jumped with joy! They are an adorable shade of purple (her fave color) AND have lights that gently shine while she walks, dances and twirls around. Surprize by Stride Rite are exclusively available at Target. And as if having another reason to head to Target wasn’t enough, the Surprize by Stride Rite sneakers are machine washable – these literally could not be more kid or mom friendly!
Funkins Lunchbags
Out of all the items the kids needed for school this year, funny enough, they were BOTH most excited about getting new lunch boxes! Now, I wouldn’t have guessed lunch boxes would have been what they were the most stoked about but here we are! Their new Funkins Lunchbags are absolutely adorable, while also being sturdy, durable and my favorite… machine washable! Funkins Lunchbags were designed with sustainability for our planet in mind, by a mom, for kids, our planet and parents! Funkins even has cloth placemats, and napkins for our little ones to bring a truly waste-free lunch with them to school! You guys can use the code BBOX2021 at check-out to receive 20% off your order at www.myfunkins.ca. Offer valid through September 30th, 2021.
Yipes Disinfecting Wipes
Last year I sent Thomas to school with a little bottle of hand sanitizer in his backpack for him to use before snacks and lunch and any other time he was in “high traffic” areas, but he forgot to close the bottle properly more than once, creating a big mess. This year I am sending both kids with Yipes! Yipes Wipes are disinfecting wipes made from plant based ingredients, specifically for KIDS. Plus they are designed to be used on hands AND their little faces! Get 15% off sitewide with code YakToSchool.
Banana Panda Puzzles
While we really do love everything we are sharing with you today, the Banana Panda Puzzles are our family favorites! We LOVE family time, so putting together not one, but TWO Banana Panda Puzzles together has been really enjoyable. Thomas claimed the Suuuper Size Puzzle Solar
System and the poster it comes with as his, and wants them both framed and hung up in his bedroom, which sounds like a great idea to me! Meanwhile Harper is begging us to finish up the What in the World. Young Explorers puzzle so she can have a map in her room! Banana Panda is also a “go-to” when I’m gift giving for children because they use only non-toxic vegetable oil based inks and follow all CPSIA, ASTM, and CE regulations. You can use code playandlearn for 15% off from July 10 – September 30th 2021!
Jogoball Interactive Games
The first few weeks of school are always an uphill battle for us. Getting the kids on a schedule, early mornings, making it to school on time and adjusting back to doing homework and sports can be tough. And I think the kids deserve a fun break from all that hustle and bustle once the school day is over and we are home for the night. Our Jogoball is a great way for the kids to play, relax and have fun, while also learning – without even realizing it! Oh, and did I mention that it’s SCREEN FREE. Yep! A screen-free, gaming console that the kids can physically interact with (toss, roll, twist and shake) that’s preloaded with over 1,000 hours of content, AND updates new content for free! The Jogoball is my new secret weapon for keeping the kids entertained while I’m making dinner or working too. We currently have the Megee sleeve on the kids Jogoball and it’s teaching them (and if I’m honest, me) Spanish! You can use code BABBLE for 20% off your own Jogoball!
As for after school while I’m still working from home, the kids have been playing with their Jogoball, and Smartrike toys instead of sitting in front of the tv! Check out more Smartrike products here and use code HANNA15 for a discount! Thank you again to Babbleboxx for Sponsoring this post! I wish you AND your kiddos the best 2021/2022 school year!
