School Supply List – Kindergarten to Grade 6

It’s that time of the year again… Shopping for school supplies! Yes, I’m one of those people who gets excited when it’s time to buy school supplies ❤ I know you are too (or, just humour me!)

Anyway, to make your life a bit easier, I put together a supply list for different grades. Just the basics, as different schools might ask for different things. And remember to ask the teacher or school if there are any restrictions or special requests beforehand. My son’s school doesn’t allow lunch boxes, water bottles and pencil boxes that are made of metal, or wheeled backpacks.
