Safety first! These scissors — now nearly 55% off — are worry-free, thanks to the special angled design, while also featuring a pointed tip that allows for detailed cutting. Great for lefties and righties alike for use in the classroom and at home, though recommended for kiddos ages 4 and up.

"The best kid scissors!" cheered a five-star fan. "I'm not sure how they make them so sharp and still safe, but my son has never cut himself with them and they are the perfect size for his little hands.

Littles who lunch adore this No. 1 bestselling BPA-free lunch box. The leakproof fave comes in 25 fun prints and is a great size for early elementary. The compartments make it easy to keep everything fresh, and it fits perfectly in the insulated lunch section of the matching backpack (also on sale). These are geared toward kids in preschool to second grade, but we know some rising fifth-graders who still use theirs. Don't be surprised if you find yourself snagging it for snacks once your kids upgrade.

"Great choice for packed lunches!" one parent shared. "My daughter is a very picky eater. Used this box every day for the school year with no issues. I love how easy it is to clean. It seals. Never had an issue with the compartments leaking. Kept every item separate. Even has a small spot for dipping sauce."

They grow out of pants so fast, but luckily these jeggings will stretch with them. And when they do size up, no biggie, because these only cost you around $11 a pair. 

"Great for school uniforms," wrote one parent. "I bought these for my young daughter, who has issues with buttons, so she could wear pants to school on cold days. These look like slim fit pants but pull on and off like a legging. The material is soft and stretchy and the construction is good. They have also held up on the playground."

Lightweight, leakproof and easy to pop open, this Contigo two-fer is a no-brainer! And, perhaps most importantly to you, they are dishwasher-safe. Grab them for $25 — less than $13 apiece.

One pleased parent wrote, "My kiddo has been using the Contigo water bottles since she was in preschool; but she always ran out of water by end of day (especially when it's warm out) so I started looking for a larger size and found that Contigo makes a bigger one! You have no idea how excited I was when I found out. It's quite sturdy and not heavy at all. So far it has not leaked on us yet."

Contigo's top-rated stainless-steel tumblers are on sale too.

Feeling punchy? This three-hole puncher can help you get everything binder-ready, 20 sheets at a time. Best of all, it's an incredible 66% off.

"Just what my classroom needed! Perfect," wrote a fan. "Easy to use for both teacher and students. The handy lock feature helps for storage."

Everyone makes mistakes, but this correction tape will help you look flawless. Each dispenser contains more than 39 feet, which should keep you stocked for at least a semester. (Kidding not kidding.) 

Plus, you can write on this tape immediately — no dry time. It's no wonder why more than 49,000 Amazon shoppers have given the tape five stars.

One fan shared, "I use this for my planner where things change quite frequently. It completely covers the text I am trying to correct and easily lets me write over the corrected item. It is thick enough that none of the letters below it show through."

Stop buying boring sticky notes: These brightly-colored Post-Its arrive in an adorable cardboard school bus. Young students will love looking at this fun desk addition, and teachers will be able to jot down notes at a moment's notice. The bus includes two dozen 3x3-inch notepads with 70 sheets each and it's still marked down.

It's also a popular prezzie for teachers. (Check out our roundup of the best teacher gifts for more ideas.)

Another back-to-school essential: A Sharpie stash. When a pen or pencil won't do, these bold permanent markers absolutely will. They're especially handy for labeling things (Ziploc bags, personal items, you name it) and making signs and posters. Well worth the sale price.

Over 39,000 Amazon shoppers have given them a full five stars. "Essential classroom tool," wrote one teacher. "Sharpie has constant high quality and reliability. I appreciate the fine points and the multitude of colors!" And they "never smear or smudge," added another fan.

This stapler means business — it can staple through 40 sheets of paper at a time! The No. 1 bestseller, which is over 20% off right now, opens 180 degrees and has a rubber base so it won't slide around and scrape up your desk. Teachers love it and students can easily handle the small size.

"Strong little stapler," wrote a parent. "I’ve been pleasantly surprised at its strength and durability. I like the size, much smaller than standard staplers. Perfect for the kids' school projects."

Another shopper called it "the perfect stapler for teachers," adding: "It is the perfect size, it is sturdy, and those darned staples go in right the first time... Teaching is hard enough these days. Make your hectic life easier and more dependable with this little stapler."

Accidental rips and tears are bound to happen, which is the very reason Scotch tape exists. Whether you're mending a torn drawing or affixing pictures to your bulletin board, you can't have too much of this. 

This bulk pack is a clear winner among shoppers too, earning 4.9 out of 5 stars. One reviewer shared, "Does not let us down. It works like it promises and fits our tape machines as the refills should. The tape stays on and will be where you put it even years from now."

Whiteboards big and small require dry-erase markers. These Expo markers are low-odor, long-lasting and easily wipe clean, which is why teachers ask for the brand by name on their wish lists.

More than 10,000 packs of these markers have been bought in the last month alone, and it's easy to understand why.

One teacher gave these an A+: "I am a special education teacher, and usually discount shop. I typically buy off-brand for most school products. I stick to name brand (Expo) when it comes to dry-erase markers. From my experience, these are the only brand that comes off the whiteboard with ease."

Teachers especially appreciate having a big box of these pencils on hand. Stock up for your entire school year (and likely years to come) with this massive box of 576 pre-sharpened pencils. And fans say they're good ones too: They've earned an impressive 4.8-star rating. Quality and quantity!

One teacher shared: "Keeping pencils in a middle school class isn’t easy, but buying these and keeping them readily available for my students has been great! And plus, they are already sharpened! A teacher's dream at a great price!"

And they aren't just for righties, either, thanks to their smudge-free constitution. This happy shopper wrote, "Smooth, quick-drying, no-smear gel pens in beautiful colors that lefties can use! Absolutely no transfer of written ink onto my hand. Finally!"
