5 School Essentials You Didn’t Know You Needed in 2024

It’s officially school supply season. (RIP to your bank account) We know the lists are already a mile long, but we asked our Life360 brand ambassadors and employees (who also happen to be moms!) to share the school supplies they swear by that probably aren’t on those official classroom lists:

1. (re)zip Reusable Plastic Food Bags“I discovered these reusable plastic baggies last year and they’re a game changer. Not only do I feel good knowing that I am at least trying to eliminate some plastic waste, but I save money on the hundreds of single-use plastic bags I was tossing every month. PS- They’re dishwasher safe!”

2. Tile Trackers“Okay I may be biased because I work here but seriously – I put Tiles on all of my kids’ school supplies and they have saved me so many early morning search and rescue efforts when my kids can’t find their lunchbox, backpack, water bottle or soccer bag.”

3. Casely Power Pod Battery Pack“I used to get all stressed when my kids phone battery dropped below 20%, especially when they rode the bus. Knowing that they have a portable charger in their bag gives me peace of mind that they can charge up anytime, anywhere. My kids love the designs, too!”

4. Bentgo Lunch Box“The compartmentalized design of this lunch box makes it super easy to pack leftovers for lunch…and makes cleanup so much easier since I can just throw the whole thing in the dishwasher!”

5. Colors of the World Skin Tone Crayons“As an elementary school teacher, I can tell you that we really appreciate when kids come to school with a variety of skin-toned crayons or markers, especially since we’ll be doing lots of ‘get to know me’ activities in the first few weeks. We want everyone to feel represented!”
