Back to school survival guide: we've got you, parents!

Happy Notes are probably one of the easiest back-to-school ideas to brighten your kids day. I love the idea of tucking a little note into your child’s lunchbox on their first day back, then continuing to surprise them with little messages and decorated notes throughout the year. Sometimes, it’s just nice to have a little reminder that someone is thinking about you in the middle of a busy school day.

Sticker Activity Books are great to have around for those after-school afternoons when everyone is tired and you need something easy for the kids to do. They can sit down, get creative and enjoy a little bit of quiet time.

Sticker sheets are obviously an easy one too! I use them to decorate notebooks, journals, folders and pencil cases, letting kids make their school supplies feel a little more like their own. And if your kids like keeping little memories, a Dot Grid Notebook or Junk Journal could be a really fun way to document the school year, from their first day to new friends, funny moments and everything in between.

And finally, a monthly sticker subscription is such a fun way to give kids something to look forward to each month. Once the excitement of going back to school settles down, having a little package of happy mail arrive every month gives them something fun and creative to look forward to throughout the year.
