School is back in session here, and I finally rounded up all the school supplies we’ll need for the year.  Trust me, I’m sure that I’ll be on the hunt for something new and exciting in a few months, but I have most everything together for now.  Without further ado, here are our Back to School Picks for school supplies!

Back to Home School Supplies

Our Must-Have School Supplies

There are a few things we can’t do without.  This year, we are heavily relying on these:

  • Spiral notebooks – We have one of these for each of my students, as well as an extra one for my 2nd grader.  We use these instead of loose leaf paper to help reduce the amount of lost pages.  With as inexpensive as they are, especially at the beginning of the school year, we grab a lot!
  • A big binder – This is for my 2nd grader.  He has 2 spirals to keep track of, as well as printed assignments that I have 3 hole punched, so he needs lots of space for his paperwork.
  • Folder with tabs – This year, I’m using at least one of these.  My daughter has her piano lesson papers in there, and she also tucks in her history flash cards.  It’s just an easy way to keep it all together.
  • Copy Paper – We use this for everything!  We need blank, white paper for actually printing things out, but we also use a ton for impromptu art projects.  I got a ton for free or cheap LAST summer, so I actually didn’t have to buy any for this year!  I have over a dozen packages stashed away for this year.
  • Crayola Crayons – We love this 64-pack because it has SO many color options.  We only use Crayola crayons because the quality is so much better than the off brand, more waxy types.  They also break less frequently and their pigment is dependable.  No weird color streaks!
  • Crayola Watercolors – Okay, so we mainly just have these so that my kids can do a few art assignments throughout the year.  I don’t love paint, but I do appreciate the washable watercolors.  That said, I know they’ll con me into letting them paint for fun MANY times this year, so they’re great to have!
  • Crayola Ultra-Clean Washable Markers – We have these in the the fine tip and the broad tip.  If any of you have followed me on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, you realize how important the washable aspect is on these.  I have a toddler than loves to destroy my entire house with markers, pens, and pencils.  Not only that, but he likes having a go at making himself a piece of art.  These markers really do wash out better than others, and they are our favorite markers for school projects.
  • Index Cards – I love to use these for making flashcards, practicing sight words, or even just writing little notes to the kids.  I try and stick to either store brands or on brands for these – and not weird, no name brands, because I got a package one time that was hardly thicker than a piece of regular paper.
  • Pencils – Our favorites are Dixon Ticonderoga pencils.  They have some great options for teaching penmanship, which we’ve gotten in the past, called Tri-Write, which help encourage proper grip and they’re also thicker than regular pencils.  They also have the oversized Beginners pencils that we love.  This year, we’re probably going to stick to their regular varieties for my older kids.  I don’t know yet if I’ll be working on penmanship with my pre-k kiddo.
  • Crayola Visi-Max Dry Erase Markers – I like these with the chisel tip (broad) as a personal preference, but they also come in a fine version (they call it bullet tip).  These are low-odor and don’t squeak.  My son asked if that meant that if it DID squeak, if it would be considered broken.  Clever kid, he is. 😉  They also mark away easily without leaving behind marks or ghost lines.  We also use the Dry-Erase Crayons in the past, which are super cool.
  • White Board – This year, I’m using a lined one for handwriting and reading lessons.  I also have a bigger blank one that is magnetic for our spelling lessons.  My kids also like to just play on these to keep busy, so we have quite a bit of fun on them as well!
  • Crayola Colored Pencils – We’ve tried other brands, but Crayola is our favorite right now.  They’re affordable and have good quality.  They don’t break like crazy when we have to sharpen them, and the colors are nice and smooth.  We use this for mapping activities, diagrams, and other more intricate coloring jobs.

As you can see, we use a pretty stream-lined list of supplies.  We really don’t have a need for many other things this year.  After looking through our curriculum choices, we just don’t need all of the 10 oversized shoeboxes full of supplies I have stashed away in my closet, not to mention the dozens of extra folders, spiral notebooks, packages of loose leaf paper, construction paper, hanging file folders, and binders.  I told me kids to remind me of our school supply excess next time we’re out and I want to buy more!

Okay, we don’t need the extras, but I have a feeling I might be pulling quite a bit of it out this year to keep things exciting around here.  I am a school supply junkie.

 

Back to School Giveaway!

    My favorite are the Ultra-Clean Washable Markers. I think knowing and seeing that they really are washable is a huge plus with kids. Of course I love crayola and have a big box of crayons and color with my granddaughter all the time. Her favorite are color pencils.

  7. Shakeeta W says

    I love the huge 150-box of crayons (it’s actually called a crayon tower)! I just love the smell of fresh crayons and having that many options is exciting lol.

  11. Sophia says

  12. Kristy says

    Ok….it’s me! 🙂 They love them too, but I think I do more! I love the “skinny” markers and use them all the time! Also really love the special “theme” boxes of crayons….just picked up a few extra of those with our school supplies, very fun! Thanks for the chance!

  14. Natalie says

    I have always been a huge fan of crayola crayons because they come in so many colors! My kids like the markers better.

    I’m pretty sure I love Crayola products more than my boys. My favorites are the bold markers. I buy my kids posters to color as an excuse for me to color too.

  19. Kim Reynolds says

    What a great giveaway! I love back to school shopping for supplies! A must have in my house would have to be the washable markers and of course crayons. With a 7 and 5 yr old they make coloring so much fun! They work great!

    Crayola crayons are the best. My sons and I both love their products. My son loves the Color Wonder markers too.

  23. Cheryl says

  48. zekesmom10 says

    I am a Crayola snob. Big time. I unload pretty much any other brand that comes into this house. My new favorite Crayola is the *erasable* colored pencils. They work like a dream and save us all a lot of coloring/writing heartache.

  73. Elle says

    I have always loved their colored pencils, that large box with all different shades. It’s amazing.

  79. Wendy Rozema says

    I have always been a crayola fan, they have really good quality items, my favorite is their markers!

  80. Jessica To says

    I like the washable markers because you can just let your kids color and worry about the clothes later!

  82. Dorrie Turner says

    Coloring was a big part of my childhood, so Crayola crayons were the best. I’d have to say I love Crayola a bit more than my daughter.

  84. Nicole says

    I love my Crayola crayons and colored pencils. I use them at work (I’m a therapist) all the time, they are always in my “fun bag” with coloring pages. I have a secret box of scented Crayola crayons left from when I was a child (they don’t make them anymore), and I won’t share them.

  88. Kathy Hanley says

    My favorite product is the 64 box of crayons with the built in sharpener because I love having every color and the sharpener is a must when they start getting worn down!

  91. Kathlyne Brown says

    I love crayola crayons. Coloring mandalas sounds awesome. I haven’t colored in a while.

  97. shirley says

    I really have always liked Crayola crayons best. But we have a junior artist here, and she loves Crayola colored pencils.

  100. Jeani Brickner says

    we love the crayola window crayons. i am trying to get us the window markers to try next! we have a set of glass sliding doors that we use as an extra workspace, since our homeschooling space is our dining, crafting, reading, everything space, too. the crayons are bright and awesome, but not always easy to clean off. i think the markers might be easier to clean and anything that cuts down my cleaning time makes my heart sing. 🙂

  106. Janet W. says

    My favorite Crayola product is the Washable Triangular Crayons! They are much easier for my grandsons to hold while they color!

  108. Rachel V says

    My favorite is the Crayola Crayons and I definitely love them more than my kids. They have the best products

  110. Lesley M says

    I love everything Crayola!!! And I love to color too! Can’t wait till my daughter is old enough to color with me!!

  112. jennifer horn says

    I love the Washable markers almost as much as my daughter. There are so many different colors than there used to be.

  116. Sheila K. says

    I love Crayola crayons—a good part of my childhood was spent using them to color and draw! We always have a bunch of them in the house and in the car!

  121. Danielle Porter says

    I’m gonna go with crayons. They are a staple, and crayola’s are the best! I hated as a kid having to use Prang or any other brand.

  122. Leah Shumack says

    Crayons are definitely a must have! Even the broken ones because we melt those down into fun multicolored crayons!

  125. michelle koerner says

    I love all the different colors. Crayola crayons are always a must have in our house. With 3 little girls we could never have too many crayons, lol! Or anything else that can aid in pretty colorful designs!

  129. Elizabeth says

    I’m a huge Crayola fan. I won’t use any other brand of markers, crayons, or colored pencils. If I had to pick one favorite Crayola product, I’d have to say I like the classic-color markers the best. Give me markers and paper and I’m a happy girl! I even like using them instead of ball-point pens for writing lists or in my journal.

  132. Laura J says

    Oh one of my favorite products is their dry erase crayons! We got these last year as part of a birthday gift for Carter…and oh we LOVE them! They are so colorful and so easy to use. Our favorites! …Oh…and I LOVE to color along with Carter too!!! Something so peaceful about it!

  134. Donna Cheatle says

    I think my kids love Crayola crayons as much as I do! They are both fully grown, yet last year, we gave them each a coloring book and a pack of Crayola crayons at Christmas! At least once that day we caught both of them coloring. The hubs and I each have some too and every once in a while, we’ll break them out and have a stress free evening of coloring and just hanging out!

  136. Ally says

    I’m usually a colored pencil girl (and I do love Crayola’s colored pencils), I have a Crayola Crayon carousel with something like 150 crayons and it is just excellent 😀

  137. Melissa C. says

    Nothing compares to a crayola crayon! We’re lucky enough to live near the crayola factory. It is a really fun place to visit!

  139. Elizabeth Newsome says

    I don’t have any kids, but I love having a box of 24 Crayola crayons around for my own use!

  146. jakell meckley says

    i love crayola colored pencils to stash in the car for all of us to get a creative touch when driving and not be on ipods, Ds systems or watching TV

  147. Danielle K says

    The 64-pack of Crayola Crayons is my favorite – have always loved the crayon sharpener in the back 🙂 I think my son and I love crayons and coloring about equally, but maybe me just a little more 😉

  151. Jessica H. says

    When I was a kid and still to this day, the 96 pack of crayons with the sharpener is just the best in my mind! (:

  155. Susan Christy says

    I love the smell of a brand new box of crayons. I always used my babysitting money or allowance to buy at least one box of 64 with the built in sharpener every year when I was growing up.

  161. Dara Nix says

    I had forgotten just how much I enjoyed coloring until I went to visit my granddaughter. When I came back home, I actually went out and bought a coloring book and crayons. It has become somewhat therapeutic for me! (And I really love the sparkly ones!)

  163. Misha Estrada says

    We all love Crayola. I still love to color when I have the rare chance. It’s so relaxing. My little ones love the crayons and markers. My oldest loves to draw and color manga with the colored pencils.

  168. Rachelle Anderson says

    I love the color wonder stuff. My 2 year old can color to his hearts content without being covered head to toe in marker!

  171. Pamela Gurganus says

    My favorite Crayola product is crayons! Crayola crayons are a must-have in our home because my kids and I all LOVE to color!

  173. lissa crane says

    I feel that the crayons and colored pencils are a must for my children’s supply list! They definitely last longer and don’t break as easy as the other brands. Some teachers even request Crayola !

  174. Karen Drake says

    I love the Crayola crayons, my daughter and I love to color together, I print out coloring pages off the web for us, we love to color.

  175. Kimmy Ripley says

    My daughter LOVES their markers! She is always drawing and doodling with them. She comes up with some pretty great creations.

  178. Selene M. says

    I like Crayola Markers – brilliant colors, dependable flow and long-lasting. My kids are all grown.

  180. Rebecca says

    My favorite thing about crayola crayons growing up was the names of some of the colors. I always read the label to find out what the color is called. I think my kiddos and I are tied for Crayola fandomness, but I get the biggest box of Crayola colored pencils. 😀

  181. Shayna Brookman says

    We love Crayola Crayons and washable markers. My son definitely loves Crayola products more than I do, however, I do enjoy coloring with him 🙂

  183. Tara Liebing says

    My favorite are the washable markers because when my son gets it on his clothes or body it washes of easily! My son is quite the artist so he is the biggest Crayola fan in our house.

  185. Piper S. says

    I think I love using a new box of crayons and colored pencils more than my students do. I always keep my own boxes in my desk.

  187. Barbara Montag says

    I like the Crayola products more than the kids do.
    Sometimes I do art stuff with them using these products.
    thank you

  189. Debbi Wellenstein says

    Crayola crayons are the best, but I really like Crayola’s markers. They are great! I think it’s a toss-up on who loves Crayola products most in our house.

  190. michelle Hill says

    I love crayons since they have every color. I have 4 kids and love to color with them and I still color fun things like a kid. Brings back memories and makes new ones

  194. Crystal F says

    I love a new pack of Crayola crayons! My daughter probably love them more than me though. She loves to draw and would spend all day doing it if she could. Thank you!

  196. Connie Tillman says

    I loved Crayola Crayons — still do! a durable product for my rough and tough boys! Thanks for the chance!

  202. Robin says

    I like the 64 or more crayon box with the crayon sharpener, I love the smell of crayons when they are being sharpen.

  206. debbie says

    I love them more than my sons- but probably not more than my daughter. She’s a teacher and she loves them as much as I do. As a child, I kept my large crayola crayons arranged in rainbow order and no one was allowed to use them but me!

  209. Denise S says

    I think my artistic kids love them more, but I’ve always loved looking at a fresh new box of Crayola Crayons and seeing all the colors how perfect they look before they get used and broken.

  213. Kathy Donovan-Ellis says

    The smell of Crayola Crayons is very nostalgic for me. It brings back fond memories from when I was a kid and when my kids were little. 🙂

  214. Pam H. says

    I like Crayola crayons more than my kids. They don’t seem to appreciate all the unique colors only found in Crayola crayon box or that these crayons hold up so much better than other crayon brands. There’s something so therapeutic about coloring after a particularly stressful day.

  222. ashley rose says

    I love crayola products!! It’s amazing how different crayola products are from the other brands. They color better, sharpen better, and last longer!! My favorite crayola products are the crayons and colored pencils that you can twist and have the plastic handle!!

  223. amanda gray says

    My favorite crayola product is colored pencils! I love colored pencils! I love crayola more than my kids right now! They are 1 and 2 so they just want to eat them!

  225. Ronda says

    I love the 64 count box of crayons. I think it is tied between who love crayola the most, we are pretty equal on that.

  230. amber says

    I love the big 250 box of crayons! I know my son would love it too because he LOVES coloring and learning colors

  231. Jill Myrick says

    Our favorite Crayola item is the 96 count big box of crayons.
    On rainy of snow days one of our very favorite things to do is to get our coloring books and crayons and lay in the floor together and color for hours while talking and laughing. To me it’s a great way to bond with my kids because no matter what the age they all love to color.

    jweezie43[at]gmail[dot]com

  255. Angela P. says

    I love Crayola products. I grew up with them and now I get to share them with my kids. My favorite product is the original 96 color crayon box.

They are great for long trips in the car with kids.. and the best part is they aren’t messy!

  257. Lisa V. says

    I like the crayons because I can remember my mom coloring with me and me coloring with my daughter.

  259. Angela Cisco says

    I always liked the Crayola Color Wonder products – it was so nice that they only colored on special paper and never my furniture

  284. Cori Westphal says

    My favorite Crayola products would have to be crayons. I remember the excitement when I’d get a new box of crayons. Especially the BIG box! With all of the colors that the other boxes didn’t have. It was such a treat to go from 24 choices to 120!

  297. Jennifer Reed says

    My sons and I all love Crayola products. They love the colored pencils the most as they love to do drawings with the different colors to shade with.

  321. Maureen Ruble says

    I have three young children and my favorite are the Crayola Color Wonder products because it is mess free and can come with us on road trips, vacation etc…..no worries which is wonderful! My children really enjoy art projects, drawing and coloring and their favorites are the washable markers and the colored pencils. Thank you for the chance to brighten their day with new art supplies as they would be thrilled!

  322. Kendra W. says

    Absolutely Crayola crayons! I love the bigger packs that come with multiple shades of colors. We spend hours doodling and coloring in coloring books!

  327. tina reynolds says

    I love my daughter is as happy with a new box of crayons and a pad of paper as the most expensive toy in the store

  329. Becky VanGinkel says

    I absolutely LOVE the Crayola 8 ct. Paints (the watercolors!) they are so much fun to use, and my 4 year old daughter and I love picking something to paint, painting it, then comparing our pictures! The last one we did was a mountain scene! The must have Crayola item I would have to say would be the 8 ct. Primary Color Crayons. They were a huge help in teaching my kids their colors, and I love that they are a bit chunkier for little hands 🙂

    babydjs_mom@yahoo.com

  335. Victoria T says

    I think when I was a kid, my mom loved Crayola more than me. I remember she would color with me in those little princess coloring books and my mom would always really be into it, like she as the kid and I was the adult hahahaha

    Our favorite product is the washable markers! They really do come out super easily 🙂

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  337. Renae says

    My daughter loves to draw and paint with Crayola products. My favorite product is their watercolor paint.

  338. julie says

    I love the color wonder products, I love that I can trust my toddler to color and I know she isn’t going to destroy anything.

  340. Cheryl Reinhardt says

    I love Crayola Crayons……… I love the Colors and how fun it feels to be a kid again and color.
    I think my Kids love Coloring but so do I…. it’s a draw.

  346. Michelle S says

    My little one is an addict of everything Crayola, except she’s too little to understand that color wonder markers only work on special paper. I would have to say I am grateful for color wonder products..especially the paint! Amazing stuff.

  348. Dawn Monroe says

    The Crayola thick markers are the best. The other brands dry out faster and are not as brilliant.

    Both my daughter and I love crayola products!! However I’m not sure which of us more. Lol they work so much better than other brands and have so many different products =)

    My favorite Crayola product of all time has to be the 64 count box of crayons with the sharpener on the back! Brand new crayons look so pretty in the box…perfectly sharpened and unbroken!

    Hmmm….I think that we like them equally. I just remember, as a kid, getting that happy feeling looking at all of the colors in a spanking new box of Crayola Crayons.

    I remember the fresh, brand new 64 count box of crayons for back to school—I don’t care how old I am, i still love anew box of Crayolas. Now my grand-daughters love them. My youngest, 8YO,is the artist in the family 🙂

    Obviously we love the crayons, but I remember as a kid their color changing markers were the coolest. Anyone else remember those?

    I think we love crayola crayons and markers equally. We are always making cards and decorating things with markers.

  370. Sherry Fowler says

    I think I love Crayola products more than my kids; I love to get the crayons, pencils, paint and start coloring and relieving all of my stress!

  373. Leigh Anne Borders says

    My favorite thing about Crayola is the variety they offer. Quite a big section of products. I also have to have the washable markers.

    I was the seventh of eight kids, so lots of hand-me-downs for me. But I CLEARLY remember the first time I got my very own brand-new 64 count box of Crayola crayons (with the built in sharpener!).
    It was like Christmas!

    I love how it inspires creativity! And they have soo many fun colors ! We love their coloring books and kits! Both me and my kids love crayOla .. Not sure who loves them more!!!

  384. Julie says

    I work at an elementary school so we are always coloring and I have a little girl at home I love the crayons the most all the shades of blue and I love silver to…

  388. Rachel S says

    I love Crayola crayons, and I think I love them more than my kids.
    They color so much better than any of the cheaper brands, not waxy and no residue.

  390. Emily Wells says

    I love their washable markers. Definitely a must have when you have young kids who use any- and everything they can find as an easel, lol

  392. Seyma Shabbir says

    I love the Crayola Color wonder markers because they do not color anything but the special paper. It is not only like magic for kids but perfect for parents who do not want their house destroyed!

  393. Trisha McKee says

    My favorite Crayola product is simply the crayon. I love to color and do so more than my daughter, but she loves the markers, so not sure who loves Crayola more.

  397. april says

    I love those classic Crayola crayons. I love to color with my kids and that crayon smell brings me back to my own childhood! Now that I’m a mom, I also love that they have washable markers. 🙂

  398. Bethany Stout says

    Our favorite is just plain old crayons because they can be used for so much more then just coloring! We made a picture frame yesterday out of old broken crayons all around the edges. I think I love them more (shhh don’t tell)!

  400. Sand says

    There is nothing like a new box of Crayola crayons! It instantly takes me back to my childhood and happiness!

  407. Sue Hull says

    My daughter and I both love Crayola Markers but I love them more. Because I also color in Mandala design books. My daughter is grown and also colors when she has time. She has a 3 month old daughter so she doesn’t have much time to color. I do it all the time. It’s so much fun and I’m so glad to hear you color too. Thank you for the awesome giveaway 🙂

    First, I love crayola crayons. They have the best, truest colors; the crayons don’t break with a little pressure; and they smell good. Seriously, have you ever smelled a freshly opened box of crayolas?! Mmm 🙂 Also, I have a secret box of 48 crYola crayons hidden on a shelf behind my cookbooks (cuz I KNOW no one is ever going to use anything on that shelf! I get it out late at night for therapy – I color mandalas and create pretty patterns from my toddler’s scribbles.
