    Older student school supplies

    As kids get older their school supply needs change. Instead of crayons and washable markers they will now need binders, index cards and sharpies.

    And older students, whether entering 6th grade, middle school, high school or college, will most likely need other essentials as their needs are changing.

    They need more independence with her school work, printing their own schedules and assignments, and learning how to get organized with personal computers and a fun printer.

    And since you never know what the school year will throw at them, a Back to School Survival Kit is pretty essential too!

    Back to school essentials

    Thinking back to my own school days I can recall quite a few cringe worthy moments that could have been avoided if I had a Back to School Survival Kit.

    Forgetting to put on deodorant or eating something stinky for breakfast. Or how about that first day of freshman orientation when my jeans ripped all the way up the backside? Sure could have used a safety pin that day!

    Make it your own

    I’ve included my favorite items for back to school needs, but there are so many other useful options. Customize your DIY Back to School Survival Kits to fit your unique needs.  Certain ages might require more or less of some items. In elementary or middle school? Best not to give medicine as adults should dispense this to children. Leave medicine to high school or college aged children.

    You might even make a few extra DIY School Survival Kits for friends or teachers. Students and staff alike are hard at work every day and would love a kit that has everything they need for all situations! Consider buying items in bulk to make it easy to create several DIY Back to School Survival Kits at once.

      I could have definitely used a survival kit like this in high school. I had a few embarrassing moments back then!
