I love this one for girls!Īpparently, middle schoolers need scientific calculators. It’s not really a journal, per se, but just a blank canvas for expression.
#CUTE MIDDLE SCHOOLERS FREE#
They need some free space for creativity. Middle school is all about rules and structure. Even if your tweens aren’t into drawing, a book filled with quality blank paper gives them a chance to express themselves freely however they want. I think every middle-grade kid (or all kids for that matter) needs a brilliant, fun sketch book. Or maybe I just want them and I’m making up reasons to buy them. He can also use a dry erase board as “scratch paper” when doing math homework, and maybe it won’t be quite so boring. Which means he’s more likely to remember things. Yes, they’re probably designed more for teachers, but you know what? Who cares? If my son has these, he’s more likely to write notes on a white board. Whether it’s for a dry erase board or blackboard paint, these chalk markers are just about the prettiest things ever. I don’t know that my son would be too into them, but they’re cool for tween girls! Also, did you know if you look up “locker accessories” on Amazon, a few pages in you get a result for a giant “storage and entertaining station with shelf”? Wow, lockers are much bigger these days! Well, I mean, they’re called Trim-A-Rim Mini Size Magnetic Locker Mirror and Whiteboard, but that was too long for a header. Speaking of lockers, I’m not quite sure what to call these. I remember trying to find stuff in my mess of a locker, especially in the deep recesses of a bottom one. Jake is excited about having a locker for the first time and I found this locker light from 5 Star with LED lights. Just make sure to grab a few standard pink ones in case your tween’s teacher requires them. These food erasers are pretty cool too! Amazon has tons upon tons of fun novelty erasers. I love the Round Emoji Face Erasers above. While they may not be into the cuddly animals anymore, you can still grab some cool styles for them. Just because they’re in middle school doesn’t mean kids have to leave behind the fun erasers. I’m trying to find a pencil case that’s fun but doesn’t scream “my mom still thinks I’m in elementary school,” know what I mean? I think this Star Wars R2D2 Pencil Case does a pretty good job of that!įor middle graders who aren’t rocking The Force, this Ultrahard Stylish Owl Pencil Case is cute without being “cutesy.” It’s not too over-the-top, and looks roomy enough for the essentials. Although, I am thinking of getting Jake the Fallout 4 Vault 111 Lanyard too. Pokemon is crazy hot right now, with all the Pokemon Go mania, so this one is right on trend. Since he has a dress code, this is one of the few areas that he can really show off his personality. Jake has to start keeping his student ID on him now that he’s in middle school, so I need to get him a lanyard. That’s how cool they are! Seriously Cool Back to School Accessories for Middle Graders I have a boy, but I’m including a few for girls too because, well, because I secretly want them for myself. Here are some of the coolest back to school accessories that I’ve come across so far. Now that I’m down to the wire, I’m shopping like a mad woman. Who gets sick during the summer? It’s not fair! (Queue up those tiny violins, we’re having me a pity party!) Okay, on with the show. I’ve been sick all week and I’m half-delirious, which leads to much rambling and whining. If you read all that ranting above, kudos to you for sticking with my through my tangent. I am really digressing, aren’t I? I’m assuming you came for the seriously cool back to school accessories I mentioned in the title. No clothes. Oh geez, what is he going to wear? So here I am, less than two weeks before school starts, and all I have so far are pens and pencils, thanks to the BIC post that I did, and insanely awesome study guides from Big Fat Notebooks. End of discussion.Īnyway, because I’m so annoyed with this, along with about a thousand other things regarding my son’s district and the transition to middle school, I’ve kind of been putting off all the shopping. What? I’m not even going to go into how insane I find that and how it doesn’t allow for enough sleep for growing bodies unless you somehow manage to get your kid off to bed before the sun sets. We prepped the night before and slept until the last possible minute, rolling out of bed at 7:30. Up until this year, Jake started school at around 9, which meant he got on the bus at 8:15.
When it ends, I have to start getting up at 6am. Mostly because I don’t want summer to end. I am such a slacker this year with back to school season.
