For both children and parents, going back to school in the Fall can be bittersweet. After months of trying to keep your kids occupied and entertained, it's nice for parents to get back into a routine, but it can be hard to say goodbye. And after a Summer full of adventures, your children will be looking forward to getting back to friends they haven't seen since the school year ended but may not be all that interested in the actual school part. If your children are less than excited about the prospect of getting back to the daily grind, there are ways to cushion the blow short of full-on bribing them. Having school supplies that look cool and are tough enough to last all year will surely satisfy both of you, and these lunchboxes will help get the year started on the right foot.
