It's my most favorite time of the year — back to school shopping. So, I made you a list. No need to check it twice, it's super nice.
Promising review: "I like Bentgo due to their cuteness as well as ease of cleaning. They are sturdy and can be used everyday/handles by my little ones. We used our Bentgo boxes everyday for daycare, and will be using them for preschool in the fall. My boys are 2 years old and they have been using them since they were 18 months old. The portion sizes are perfect for toddlers/preschoolers. I love packing their boxes every night!" —Ashley Wakelee
Price: $27.99 (available in three colors)
Promising review: "Definitely recommend it. My little one loves showing off her new lunchbox at school. The compartments are just right for a lot of snacks and perfect size for a sandwich. I have placed ranch dip for her to snack on with carrots, and there were no spills, nor was there ranch in other compartments as the lid has each compartment section sealed, which I love." —Aracely Morales
Price: $20.65 (available in two colors)

Promising review: "My child was constantly fidgeting at the dinner table, rocking the chair on its side, and sometimes would fall down with the chair. This chair rocks just enough to keep my child in motion. Easy to put together. There’s some foam or rubber on the bottom of the chair so it won’t mark up the floor. Would like it better if the black pieces on the bottom of the legs also had some kind protection for the floor." —Snowbird
Price: $80 (available in two colors)
Promising review: "I loved the pink organizer set. it went well with my desk area, and it helped me a lot to stay organized. ☺️" —Pink organizer set

Promising review: "I thought this was a little unnecessary in that you can make your own stuff like this, but I didn't have time, and we were having a lot of issues, so I picked it up, hoping it would help for now. It's actually fantastic. It's so handy, well thought out, and the check register books are such a great idea. They have special delineations so you and your child can keep track of every little up and down. It really helps my son to be able to see so clearly where his behavior benefits him and where it costs him. I know that stuff seems obvious, but it really does help to see it spelled out in front of them like this. It's helping him be much more accountable for his actions and exercise more self-control in a way that basic rewards and punishments just weren't doing. The dry erase is a little hard to erase, and I had to get better markers, but it's still very useful, and the register books, which I didn't even care about when I bought it, turned out to be really fantastic." —sn

Promising review: "I am a teacher, and my students and I love having the multi-cultural skin color crayons in the classroom. I bought them from Bellen’s website last year and am so glad that I can restock my supplies at Target this year! Bonus that the kit comes with information about how Bellen started the project, and I use Bellen’s story to talk to my kids about how they can be activists for change no matter their age!" —Targetbuyer
