Today's Back to School Blog Hop topic is School Supplies. Everyone needs school supplies. But each student might have that one or two things that they absolutely LOVE or HAVE to have. So I asked each of my children what is their most favorite item that they get at the beginning of each year or semester. This is what they each said.
Seanan - pointy crayons, colored pencils, Twistables, erasers, notebooks, more school books.
Audrie - erasers, pencils, colored pencils, sharpener, paints (You can tell that she's the artist in the family.)
Arianna - pencils, erasers, sharpener, folders, spiral bound notebooks.
Of course mom and dad had to get in on it as well. So here are our choices.
Mom - a great pen (one that writes smoothly and fluidly without smearing.), glue sticks, pencils and a GREAT sharpener (I found some really nice ones from Fiskars, which I'm hoping last the whole year.) Scissors ... sharp, trusty, and hopefully always away in their proper place. ;) And I always have tons of craft supplies - you think it, I probably have it - from toilet paper rolls to corks to twine to paper plates. And maybe the best supplies is our library card and printer!!
Dad - colored pencils, notebooks for sure, new books to read especially the ones within our time period or on the particular science topics and people we'll be studying about for the year.
When my kids were little some other items I found greatly necessary were a new box of fresh crayons (and the thick chunky ones were GREAT for little hands.) I also keep on hand scrap paper of all shapes and sizes, cardstock (pastels and brights), construction paper, hard cardboard, scissors (safety and adult), and markers!
What do YOU have to have to start the year off right?? I'd love to hear from you so leave a comment and be sure to check out the rest of those who join in on the Blog Hop!

LOL. I love how you asked your kiddos! :) Thanks for sharing the school supplies lists--we had many of the same!
We all agree with pointy crayons! Much of your list rings true for our family, too. - Lori
Pencils and erasers were at the top of my children's lists, too! Classic school supplies just never go out of style.
we buy things as we need them. Fortunately at the start of schooling we were gifted with a huge stash of pencils, coloured pencils, crayons and more. So we've not had to actually buy a whole lot. We are just starting to think about buying more.
Thanks Lisa! I knew they'd have their own fav's! Pointy crayons are so hard to keep pointy though. That's why we changed to Twistables and colored pencils.
Linda they certainly do not go out of style.
Annette, what a blessing!
