As much as we wish it was still the dog days of summer, there’s no denying, it’s back to school time! That means time to go shopping for the necessities, like the five back to school essentials below which we’ve paired with complementary big brother shirts and big sister shirts.
- Notebook and supplies – Whether the wee ones are starting pre-K or above, it’s good to be prepared for a variety of subjects with pencils, paper, erasers, etc. (Shown: Playful Doodles Big Brother T shirt & Big Sister Tshirt)
- Backpack and/or lunch box – Not just functional, kids like something fun to haul all of their “stuff” in to and from school. Above is a fabulous round up of darling lunch boxes from Thrifty Littles!
- Jeans – a back to school staple, but if you want to try something new, the trend this fall is gray – not blue – when it comes to jeans. Pair them with big sister shirts and big brother shirts with gray accents and bright hues.

- New shoes – From slip-ons to sneakers to boots, comfortable shoes are a must to take kids from the classroom to the playground. (Shown: Kids Play Big Brother T shirt and Big Sister Tshirt, shoes from Nordstrom.com)
- Shirts – Conversation tees are very “in” right now and obviously our big brother shirts and big sister shirts fit the bill. The chalkboard themed Something to Say is perfect for back to school too!)
