The countdown is on until your child goes back to school and starts their new academic year. Yes, I know what you’re thinking, it’s weeks away before they go back. Trust me when I say it'll feel like you've just blinked and it’ll come around. So it is a good idea to start getting your child's school supplies in now.
Especially, as it's August already, where has 2022 gone? It might as well be Christmas at this rate. Let's not think about that and just focus on going back to school with the best stationery sets for kids.
Gone are the days at nursery when your little one would get to experiment with finger paints, take naps and run around in the play area. Now they’re sat in their very own seat, learning everything from handwriting skills, how to count and read. Practicing writing and drawing at home will assist your child's at school learning.
Kids learn all sorts at school, including life skills as simple as tying your shoe laces (with the help from a wooden shoe) or making new friends.
You won’t need a wooden shoe to help them with their lessons, though. You'll just need to make sure your child is prepared for being in the classroom by buying essentials like pens and pencils.
If you’re not quite sure what you need to fill your little ones’ pencil cases, then I’ve found the best stationery sets for kids.
Just don’t draw a line under purchasing anything before you take a look.

These pencils are super easy to use and perfect if your little ones are learning to write or just starting out with drawing. They encourage your child to use the correct tripod grip when drawing and writing. The easy start range was made with right and left-handers in mind, this definitely shows as I found the pencils incredibly comfortable to use thanks to the easy grip design.
**Mother&Baby writer, Hannah James, mother of three said, "**My son is just about to start primary school. When we visited the school they informed us that they will be using the tripod grip. I hadn't heard of this previously and was unsure of how to teach my son to do it. I was really thrilled to see that when he used these pencils he was naturally holding the pencils correctly."
