Summer is here, and while many are busy enjoying the sun, fun, and perks of summer vacation, teachers and parents are beginning to prep for the upcoming school year. And what better way to get ready for the 2024-2025 K-12 school year than with colorful, whimsical school supplies and classroom decorations?
While schools provide grade-appropriate supply lists for parents, we’re here to supply the fun stuff! And we genuinely believe stickers and posters should be on every teacher’s, parent’s, and PTA’s shopping lists! Here’s why:
Stickers are beneficial to learning!
Stickers are the perfect medium for motivating, rewarding, and recognizing positive student behavior and performance. Teachers especially love stickers as they provide an easy, cost-effective, tangible way to reinforce desired behaviors and reward good behavior, work completion, good manners, completed homework, raising hands, being kind, and working quietly…the options are endless, making them a teacher much have.
Stickers also promote creative thinking, reasoning, and understanding. Peeling stickers helps with fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination, strengthening a child’s ability to write and draw, making them a great educational tool. Peeling stickers and placing them on a page helps young children develop their fine motor skills and practice hand-eye coordination and finger control, which will be needed as they age when writing, drawing, and moving objects. Using sticker books can enhance cognitive development in your child.
Children of all ages love stickers as they allow for creativity and self-expression. They also offer a way for parents, teachers, and children to share their achievements and showcase their school spirit.

Posters are so beneficial to learning!
Posters are incredibly effective in the classroom. They may be used during lessons to help students retain and learn faster by offering a visual aid that helps them understand the material. An eye-catching and engaging poster can help students focus on their lesson and make learning fun!
By design, posters attract children’s attention and keep them interested in the task. They help students remember certain subjects, and the mere look of the posters makes the kids want to look at them even more frequently.
When it comes to classroom settings, posters may be used in several ways to capture the attention of students and parents, help explain topics and share learning guides, promote events and programs, and offer motivation.

Other products to consider for Back-to-School!
Next to the desks and chairs, tables are among the most common school furniture items. So why not decorate and adorn them with custom table runners?! From welcome tables to fundraising tables, PTA/PTO displays, and small group learning settings, table runners can serve many purposes in classrooms and on school campuses.
When it comes to school settings, greeting cards, and postcards may be used in a variety of ways! Greeting cards may be customized to serve as school spirit cards, thank you cards, and welcome cards. Postcards are great for sharing messages, schedules, and announcements and may also be used as flashcards and learning tools.
Make it a great school year!
