Loog Guitars
Music is such an important part of our lives and the lives of our children. Music helps people see, feel, express and experience the world around them. Music can be joyful, celebratory, sad or melancholy. Learning to read and play music is attune to learning another language; music is a universal language of sorts. Deciding to integrate musical education into your child’s learning repertoire is a decision no parent will ever regret, it is an excellent way to engage and excite children about learning, and musical education should be an integral part of every school’s curriculum.

With easy to use child sized instruments perfect for little bodies and tiny fingers, the Loog guitars for kids are real wood guitars with high quality classical nylon strings that allows your child to begin playing music on day one. The corresponding app will have your little rockstar playing actual songs early on which will excite and encourage them, rather than simply practicing scales and exercises with no real sense of accomplishment. A Loog guitar is a great way to begin your child’s musical education, giving them skills that will last a lifetime.

Stuck On You
We’ve all been around long enough to know that labels are a must have for back-to-school. You can really buy as few or as many as you please (we suggest more – they can be used for multiple years), but one thing is for sure – if your child is going to use it or even just have it away from home, you better put a label on it, or risk the chance of never seeing it again (and we all know that even the best labeling doesn’t always overcome childhood forgetfulness – better safe than sorry). Stuck On You is the obvious choice for all of your labeling needs, but their usefulness during the school year goes way beyond labels.
This year, we picked up a few additional pieces that we’re hoping will make the transition back into school a little easier, including a new lunch box, bento boxes (available in large and mini) and chore charts that can be used for tracking actual chores or homework completion – all personalized with our kids favorite characters. Of course, we couldn’t resist Stuck On You’s super cute personalized books as well.

WishBeads
When you write down a wish or personal goal it is a huge step towards making it happen. Putting those thoughts into words on paper is a powerful thing because it solidifies them. A Wishbeads bracelet is more than a beautiful piece of jewelry. It is a daily reminder to focus on your dreams. The way Wishbeads works is that you visualize something you want and write it down on a little piece of paper that you roll up and tuck into the secret compartment on the Wishbeads bracelet. Each Wishbeads bracelet has a solid brass cylinder with a screw on cap that serves as the secret compartment to store your wish. Every time you wear the bracelet, it is a reminder to stay focused on your wish.
Wishbeads bracelets are made with beads that are known to inspire confidence, motivation, positivity, and purpose, among others. The Wishbeads Black Lava Rock Bracelet is made of stones that began as molten lava and then solidified under extreme heat and pressure. If black lava rock can thrive under the intense conditions that created it, it can influence whoever wears it to do the same by instilling a sense of calm in even the most distressing situations.
Pair your Wishbeads bracelet with the Wishbook. The Wishbook guides you on a 21-day journey that encourages you to make your dreams come true. Each day includes a short passage and a small action step to complete. As the Wishbook says, “Make a wish, do the work, and watch it come true.” Adding this to your school supplies list this year will help all your dreams come true.
