Hi! Im a teacher In lakeland MN I use the squinkies to give out at the school dance as prizes and i would really want to win them My students need 15 pencils and not more than 64 crayons!
Mine was clear contact paper that I searched for in 7 stores and still didn’t find.
Mechanical Pencils
Our must have school supply is a new lunch box!
Mt kids must-have back to school item is a recycled lunch bag and reusable wraps for their sandwiches! Less is more; just like “all good things come in small packages, aka squinkies!)
My daughter’s #1 back to school supply was a fun backpack decorted with Super Mario Brothers pins. She would have loved Squinkies, but they were sold out in every store!!!
This is my daughters first year of kindergarten so my “must have” was labels with her name on it. I labeled everything she owned!!
Pencils! And I must have notebooks!
My son’s 5th grade class will be the first to get ipads to use for homework, research etc… So our must have school supply was a backpack with a padded insert to hold the ipad. That ipad would be a pricey school item to replace!
My daughter’s must have back to school supply would be a squinkie. We have been searching very hard for them. She would love to have a friend accompany her to school and have someone to cheer her up when she misses home!!! we love Squinkies!!!!!
i love buying ALL new school supplies.
but i enjoy picking out lunch boxes and backpacks the most !
Besides all the regular school supplies…..hand sanitizer!! It always seems like cold season starts right up when the kids go back to school!
Our MUST back to school supply is her Dora backpack. This motivates my daughter to go to school, so she can show off her new backpack, and gets her going in the mornings when she’s not so thrilled about getting up.
Backpacks seemed to be the popular item to shop for this year for back to school. It had to be just the right color and have just the right number of compartments and pockets etc. The kids are not allowed to bring any kind of toys to their school except on special days but I am sure if they could there would be a Squinkie in one of those backpack pockets each day.
Twinkle toes- my twins daughters love them and had to have a brand new pair for the start of school!
The must have school supply was a product by thermos brand fun container so she can take hot soup in the winter and cold fruit in the spring and summer! Definately a neat idea!
A cute lunch tote! Will you be making a Squinkies lunch tote? That would be ADORABLE!

Squinkies for atop pencils of course!!
A cool backpack
LOVE this site!!! YAY!
We love our Laptop Lunchbox and we couldn’t make it through the day without our Smencils (yummy smelling pencils made from recycled newspaper). Oh!…. and of course a Squinkie has made it into the backpack every day. =0)

Our must have school supply is a pencil box that my daughter and I decorated together with scrapbook paper, stickers and pictures of her family just in case she misses us while she’s at school. Thanks for the giveaway!
The must have back to school item is a new lunch box. Any chance of having a Squinkies lunch box created?
We homeschool so it’s a little bit different, but our must-have supply seems to be paper. We go through it by the case!
Both my kids needed new pencils. They go through several throughout the school year.
yes you are right
Besides all the basic stuff that we purchase every year, my 1 daughter has had a Squinkie accompany her to school everyday. It’s been a must have and she spends most of her free time in the morning deciding which one gets to go to school to learn and help her write atop her pencil. On a serious note, it’s been a Huge help to me because she deals with a developmental disability and low self-esteem, and your little Squinkies have become her little helpers. Thanks so much!!!!
make Christmas squinkies! I love christamas and squinkies. It would be cool if they were combined!
I agree with Megan. I got some reusable water bottles rather than keep using disposable ones with barely any recyclable content. But if we’re talking about actual class supplies, then it’s always notebooks with multiple sections. Boring but true! :p
The kids love the fun shaped erasers and pencil toppers. For mom, love the kid’s hot lunch container, from fit n fresh.
I guess our must-have is a great, durable backpack from Land’s End. Big enough and tough enough for my boys!
Must have this year since this is her first year was a special back pack and lunch box(thermos and soup container to match) and then pink pencils since it is her favorite color.
Our back to school must have this year was lunch related as well. The sandwich saver box for taking your own lunch to school and not smooshing your sandwich, it is fabulous
Our must have stuff was an Icarly backpack and cute school supplies. Too bad I just learned of Squinkies they would have made the list too! But they`ll be the must have x-mas gift
Our must have is crayons, we even went to the Crayola factory.
Our must have back to school item this year is glue sticks…we always have lots of projects to do!
New backpacks and matching lunch boxes are my girls favorites.. each year they get a new one.. and its the thing they look most forward to when back to school shopping.
Well, her must have would have been Squinkies if we had been able to find them anywhere. Always on the lookout for them though.
Squinkies for trading before and after school. so cute everyday they come home with new ones.
Must have this year is Frixion Eraseable Pens & Highlighters!
Our must have back-to-school supplies this year were mostly lunch related – we bought reusable materials from reusit.com, including a Blue Q lunch bag and bento boxes.
Squinkies for the pencils definetly…

Pencils… and Squinkies to use as toppers!
Gotta have a good eraser. Nothing’s worse than a cheap eraser that wrips your papers!
My 6 year old just had to have a Hello Kitty backpack and lunchbox.
My daughter liked taking Squinkies for Show-N-Tell!
The one school supply all my children needed was pencils
Squinkies for my pencils!
The must have item for my kindergarten student is Squinkies
