Backpacks, Lunchboxes, and Water Bottles

Long school days go by a lot faster with a trusty sidekick. Simple Modern’s Lilo & Stitch collection brings everyone’s favorite blue alien to class with a matching water bottle, backpack, and lunchbox so ohana is always by your side. If your little heroes prefer saving the day, Pottery Barn Kids offers the Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends Mackenzie Bundle, while the Disney Store has a heavy-duty Spider-Man backpack and lunchbox duo built for maximum action. Over at Walmart, kids can even light up the hallways with a Spider-Man Light-Up backpack.

For the youngest scholars, Pottery Barn Kids’ Disney Princess Trellis Mackenzie set comes with a cozy nap mat for royaly in training, while Bioworld’s Frozen all-over print toddler backpack is the ideal size for daycare supplies. Older kids can lasso their gear into Away’s bright red Jessie backpack inspired by Toy Story, set sail with adidas’s ocean-inspired Moana bag, or show off a subtle Grogu Medallion pattern on Vera Bradley’s Star Wars Bancroft backpack. Pair any of these with Pottery Barn Kids’ Frozen lunchbox to keep snacks cool, or stay hydrated on the go with Corkcicle’s leakproof Ariel Cruiser.

Stationery and Books

Staying organized doesn’t have to be boring. Bring iconic pals into the classroom with the Happy Planner Disney Best Pals dotted lined notebook, perfect for sketching, journaling, or taking lesson notes. You can also brighten up every assignment using the Toy Story 5-inspired Sharpie S-Note creative highlighters to color-code your planner. For curious minds who love bonus learning during downtime, the National Geographic Kids Almanac 2027 is packed with fascinating facts, hilarious jokes, and vibrant photos to keep kids entertained before the final bell rings.

Apparel, Footwear, and Accessories

Heading back to campus means upgrading your wardrobe. College students can rock the vintage trend with RE/DONE’s Mouskateers lace strap tank, layer up in Alice in Wonderland staple tees from Albion Fit, or step up their streetwear game with the Mickey Mouse & Big Bad Wolf collection from Darc Sport.

For a chic high-fashion touch, GANNI’s Minnie Mouse and Daisy Duck raglan tee delivers maximum campus style, while ColourPop’s Hannah Montana “You’re a Star” hair clip adds a pop-princess shimmer to any outfit.

Younger trendsetters have plenty of options too. Janie and Jack’s Minnie Ballet Collection offers twirl worthy pieces for dance class and double period math alike.

Amazon serves up iconic graphic tees including a classic Mickey & Friends crew shirt and a cosmic Stitch tee for the big first day. Finish off the look with Ray-Ban’s Zootopia sunglasses for sunny recess breaks, and your student will be ready to rule the school.
