The Ultimate Back to School Shopping Guide

     I’ve made a handy list featuring the latest fashion trends for all of your school supply needs so your little one will be ready to learn and you will not have to stress about anything – except maybe making sure they get their homework done.

     Pencils

     Every good student needs pencils. It does not matter if they are learning to write or are fully writing research papers, they need a good instrument. The aesthetic of the pencil is a good way for students to express themselves and their creativity. Typically classrooms have pencil sharpeners, but some students may want to get their own as well just because they are so cute.

     Illusen Pencil Set

     A set of four pencils with eraser heads – two with Illusen and two with faerie wings.

      King Hagan Collectable Pencil

     Make them feel inspired by the wisdom and knowledge of King Hagan via this pencil.

      Clown Chia Pencil

     A little spooky, a little silly; this pencil will show some personality.

     Pens

     Some students prefer pens over pencils to do their writing, especially as they get older. In fact, as they get older the teachers may even require it! Pens also have all sorts of unique personality to show off making them almost as important as what they put on the page.

      Rainbow Glitter Pens

     Add some sparkle and shine to their day with this set of cute pens.

      Mootix Pen

     This silly little guy will look over their shoulder at everything they write.

      Dark Battle Duck Pen

     Show off fierce battle skills in pen format!

     Colouring Supplies

     Markers, crayons, coloured pencils. So many fun ways to colour. Although certain teachers may require certain mediums, and some may age out of this completely, it’s still good to have on hand. You never know if a student wants or needs to get a little creative for a project!

      Deluxe Set of Colouring Pencils

     Every colour you can think of – and more!

      Speckled Elephante Markers

     This cute set of eight markers has an Elephante on the cover. They are scented too.

      Dr Sloth Crayons

     The most evil crayons in all of Neopia! But they still colour nice.

     Pencil Cases

     Store all your writing and drawing utensils in a cute and functional case. They can also decorate it, draw on it, or whatever! There are always ways to continue to express yourself in class (without being disruptive, of course).

      Neopian Times Pencil Case

     Inspire the budding writer by making sure they have this Neopian Times wrapped pencil case. Every time they reach for a pencil, pen, or marker they will be keeping their eyes on the prize.

      Mutant Pencil Case

     Make your little mutant feel less self conscious by getting them their very own pencil case.

      Hot Dog Pencil Case

     Perfect for all the jokesters, comedians, and class clowns.

     Notebooks

     Notetaking is an important skill to have. It is not enough to just sit in class and memorize information, knowing how to write things down is an important skill for every Neopian. Getting a cute notebook to show some personality, or a plain one to plaster with photos or stickers, will help make the work feel less like work.

      Dimensional Notebook

     A glowing red and black notebook. They will never misplace it and it will always stand out.

      Techo Notebook

     This notebook features a pattern from the popular game Techo Says.

      Fuzzy Notebook

     This notebook is functional in more ways than one. It can store a bunch of notes but also be used as a helpful calming device or fidget tool for the neurodivergent.

     Calculators

     From simple addition to advanced calculus, every student needs to learn how to do math. Showing your work is required, but calculators are a handy tool to help ensure they are on the right track.

      Blue Slorg Calculator

     A more basic calculator for those who are just learning maths.

      Peechpa Calculator

     A more advanced calculator that can help calculate graphing equations.

      Scorchio Calculator

     A cute Scorchio themed calculator.

     Backpacks

     Well now that we got all this stuff, we need somewhere to put it, right? This is going to be the first thing everyone else in class sees so it is important a backpack is uniquely theirs. Spice it up with keychains, charms, pins, patches, or whatever else.

      Grey Backpack

     Umbra got creative recently with grey. Pick up the hottest new colour in town for all the brooding artist types.

      Altador Cup School Backpack

     If your youngin’ is a little more sporty perhaps they want their classmates to know which team they cheer for over the summer.

      Fyora Elegant Backpack

     Make them feel like a ruler with this adorable backpack. Feel inspired by Queen Fyora’s bravery during this uncertain time.

     Lunchboxes

     Bringing lunch from home is a great way to feel connected to your grownups when you’re small. And when you’re the grownup, packing a lunchbox feels like packing a piece of love every day. But beyond just holding food and the reminder of home, they should also be cute! Or cool. Or creepy. Maybe even coordinated to a backpack if they’re feeling fancy. Whatever they like.

      Jhudora Lunchbox

     Cute but a touch evil, this insulated lunchbox will keep their food warm or cold all morning long.

      Hissi Lunchbox

     This one is a little menacing looking and a little difficult to open. Keep others out and make sure only your Neopet is getting your food.

      Albert Lunchbox

     This spooky lunchbox comes with a matching thermos so if you prefer to pack curry or soup this is a fantastic choice.

     First Day Outfits

     Of course no back school shopping trip is complete without a new ‘fit. Although some schools require uniforms (which thankfully will save you Neopoints!) most schools have rules about what students can and cannot wear which gives them a type of structured ability to express themselves. Be sure to go over your school’s dress code and pick something that works for you and your student!

      Essential Black Plaid Skirt paired with Essential Pink Button Down Shirt

     Essentials are essential for a reason. There are multiple colours to choose from but these plaid skirts and button down shirts are the absolute hottest new items on the market for Neopians.

      Dyeworks Green: Pink Kawaii School Outfit paired with Dyeworks Brown: Gothic School Girl Satchel

     Maybe a backpack isn’t for your Neopet at this stage in their life. They are too cool and want something a little more modern. This satchel pairs nicely with the dyed green school outfit, some of Loic’s newest creations made especially for this school year.

      Juni Jumper

     There is a lot going on right now in Neopia. It is important for young Neopians to have a sense of normalcy and continue schooling if they can. It is also important to have age appropriate conversations about things going on elsewhere so they are aware of the world. So many should know who Juni is, and recognize him as a fun and helpful little pal that they probably can relate to! Let them show off their love with this cute jumper with a (fake) Faellie in the pocket.

     Enjoy the school year!
