Whether you’re homeschooling your children or getting ready to send them back to school, you’ve probably got a shopping list that you’re working through this time of year.
As you check off items such as pencils, folders, notebooks, and perhaps a new lunchbox or backpack, consider adding fun items that are not at all required but that will surprise and delight your children as they go back to school.
Stowaway Stuffy
