Back to school mania is in full swing, and I would feel unprepared if it were’t for these awesome products! This year, I am so thankful that our county is one of the last in the state to go back. We are savoring the last few days of Summer Break while trying to get ready for the new school year. Jace, my oldest, will be in the 5th grade! It’s so crazy to think that this is his last year in elementary school. I know I say it all the time, but I really don’t know where the time goes! I thought now would be a great time to share some fun finds for Back to School!
Banana Panda Games
My toddlers CANNOT get enough of the games we got from Banana Panda! Zachary could not wait to open the Suuuper Size Puzzles “My Body” 3+ (pictured above). It’s an 84 piece creative play set of six puzzle boards that invites kids to discover the human body. The puzzles feature bones, muscles and other body parts like the digestive system. The kids think it is so fun to put together “skeleton man” and love how some of the puzzles are girls and some are boys. Even our oldest was able to help his brother and sister with these and prep him for returning to the classroom while still having fun!
The other Banana Panda game, Suuuper Size Memory Game “Wild Animals” 2+ is a matching game made with extra-large, thick cardboard pieces featuring colorful illustrations of all kinds of animals. Perfect for a first game, the kiddos have a blast matching elephants, sloths, anteaters and many other cute and colorful animals friends!
Both games large pieces are perfect for little hands! Use code “playandlearn” at https://bananapanda.com for 15% off, valid now – September 20th, 2021!
Funkins Lunch Bags, Napkins & Kid-Size Placemats
Last year, with all the chaos of us moving, in person & virtual days rotating and just life in general, Jace took one for the team and ate school lunches. This year he requested that I pack his lunch. He and our other two kids love these adorable insulated lunch bags from Funkins! They really like having a cute personal placemat (that is kid sized) and napkin to go along with their lunch. I love how durable they are and that everything can be hand or machine washed (on delicate) and dries within minutes. Funkins makes back to school meal time cleaner, greener, and more convenient with their reusable products!

Surprize by Stride Rite
I’ve been buying Stride Rite kids shoes for nine years now. When Jace was little, we had the hardest time finding shoes to fit his wide feet. At the time, we didnt have a Stride Rite store close, so we would stock up on them when we went shopping out of town or on vacation.
That being said, my youngest (Reagan), adores shoes! At two, I would have never thought she’d be as picky as she is and so into “toddler’ fashion! Haha! She loves the colors of her Surprize by Stride Rite, Revel Pink sneakers! She also loves stomping as much as possible (although it doesn’t take that much) to light them up! The shoes have one-of-a-kind water-proof light up laces! They’re 100% machine washable and have a wide opening making them very easy to put on and take off.
