But there is still so much more out there that we just can’t resist. In fact, we’ve got 14 items in our Back-to-School Accessories Guide that we think you’ll love.
One shoe, two shoes, red shoes, blue shoes…or how about Dr. Seuss shoes instead? The 80’s are making a comeback in the fashion world, and kids are now calling out for Converse sneakers. Only now these all-star shoes are now sporting some of the classic characters from the books we know and love. Try them, try them, we say. You will like them, yes you may.

Your kids will bubble up with enthusiasm for these adorable bubbles that can function as zipper pulls or necklaces and—even better—can be personalized, making them double as extra-fun labels for your kids’ clothing. They’re also great for little fingers just learning how to handle zippers.
We care about the environment and we want to teach our kids to love their Mother Earth, too. So we are applauding (and buying) these Earthzone pencils which are a must-have on the ‘got it—want it list’. Made from recycled newspaper, these pencils are non-toxic, strong and come with their own sharpener. Write on!
In case you’re looking for a special ‘case’ to keep all those pencils, pens and other writing tools together, we liked the Soft Touch Pencil Cases that are made from PCV-free vinyl and are durable. The choice of four different colours is also a nice touch—case in point.

Little peeps will definitely want their little ‘peepers’ to stand out if they’re dependent on glasses. These eyeglasses from Safilo’s will definitely add a serious cool factor to their wardrobe. In fact, they may have other kids asking for an eye test themselves.
There’s much, much more where this came from. Check out our 14 very cool back-to-school items in our Back-to-School Accessories Guide.
