Ad in partnership with Walmart — Save money. Live better.
Between making the most of fleeting summer days and the whirlwind of sending your kids off to their next year of school, there’s a little slice of bliss known as back-to-school shopping.
Or, at least, it should be blissful!
Fortunately, Walmart makes the process easy, convenient and affordable thanks to their wide selection of BTS supplies and essentials that’ll make kids excited to return to the classroom. No matter which grade they’re entering this year, you’ll find everything they need in store or online. You can even shop in the Walmart app while you lounge poolside and have your order shipped to your door in a few clicks. Or, buy online and pick up in-store the next time you’re running errands. Either way, you can conquer that checklist without missing out on making summertime memories.
Best of all, Walmart makes it easier than ever to get all of your kids’ BTS shopping done in a flash thanks to its built-in school supply list search. Just enter your zip code and find your child’s school to load up your cart with all of the supplies their teacher needs them to bring on the first day.
If your school’s lists aren’t available yet, you can also shop Walmart’s expertly curated lists of teacher-recommended supplies for each grade. And, to give you a head start, we’ve gathered some of our favorite picks for each grade below.
I haven’t been in preschool for 30 years, but I still acutely remember the frustration of trying to craft my construction paper masterpieces with crayons that were, frankly, useless. These ingenious crayons, however, actually show up vivid and bright, even on the darkest papers. The pack includes 24 bold colors so they can stretch their creativity to the max.
Price: $3.47
Whether they need a place to stash their crayons and glue sticks for arts-and-crafts hour or pencils to practice their penmanship, they’ll love having this cute pouch at their side. It has a retro style that’s still easily recognizable by little ones who love to game. You can even insert your own picture in the window to display something new on the “screen.”
Price: $4.94, $8.26
When you send them off to school with their very first “big kid” notebook, make it one that they’ll love looking at every day. The cover of this adorable notebook features a cute scene of Bluey and Bingo jumping on a trampoline. Inside, there’s plenty of space — 100 wide-ruled pages, to be exact — for them to jot down notes and work on class assignments.
Price: $2.97, $4.75
We all know little ones can be rough on their stuff, which is why this sturdy Five Star folder is a must. It has two pockets inside, and stay-put tabs at the top to prevent papers from falling out (when they inevitably stash the folder in their bag upside down or something like that). Plus, they’re available in a range of fun colors — and, for their high quality, they’re priced just right so you can grab one for each subject.
Price: $2.14, $2.47
In fourth grade, kids will typically begin working on their note-taking skills. Fortunately, these metallic felt-tip pens can make the process way more interesting and engaging! The set of eight glittery-yet-bold, no-bleed colors will make it easy to color-code and organize their notes, and (hopefully) streamline their study time.
Price: $12.57
Fifth grade is the perfect time for kids to start practicing their planning skills before they move onto middle school next year. This pretty 13-month planner features a motivating message on the cover — “Manifest Good Days” — and plenty of pages to plot out their weeks and months inside. From homework assignments to extracurricular activities to their friends’ birthday parties, there’s room for it all. Plus, it starts with July 2024 so they can get into the groove right away.
Price: $6.94, $10.36
If your child will begin switching classrooms for different subjects this year, a five-subject notebook is a must-have. They can keep all of their notes at hand without having to drag a ton of notebooks around. (Plus, they can’t accidentally grab the wrong notebook if they only have one!) Best of all, it’s made with Five Star’s “lasts all year” guarantee so you know it’s durable — and it comes in several different colors to suit their preference.
Price: $6.98, $14
Whether they’re tapping into educational videos or using instrumental music to enhance their focus, help them maximize their study time with these sleek, stylish and incredibly affordable on-ear headphones. They come in a few different colors and connect wirelessly via Bluetooth. Plus, they’re lightweight and collapsible, and they last for up to 14 hours per charge.
Price: $12.88, $14.88
Help your eighth grader get serious about organization — before they have to head off to high school — with this secure zipper binder. The three rings can hold up to 380 sheets, but that’s just the beginning. Not only does it have an expandable exterior pocket and several pockets inside its front cover (including a zippered one for wrangling smaller items), it also comes with a matching pouch that can hook into the three rings or be taken out and used separately. Even better, everything’s constructed with the “lasts all year” durability you’d expect from Five Star.
Price: $12.67
High schoolers will need easy access to online research, digital class resources and word processing programs for writing papers — but we don’t blame you if you’re worried about dropping hundreds on a traditional laptop. A Chromebook like this one offers a perfectly happy medium, with quick access to cloud-based apps like Google Docs and Gmail, easy web browsing, lightweight portability and 10 hours of battery life to get them through the day — and for a mere fraction of the price.
Price: $179
