School supplies are a yearly inevitability, but even so, it sometimes feels like school supply shopping catches us off guard. (It’s that time already?!) Fear not: you’re going to be so prepared this year. And on top of that, you’re going to save a lot of money by getting those school supplies during the Amazon Prime Day sale.

Glue sticks are a ubiquitous part of school supply lists every year, way up into the middle grades, and you always need a ton of them — so this Prime Day deal from Elmer’s is an essential grab. These all-purpose glue sticks are washable (in case your crafty kid goes astray!), and they come in a pack of 12. This might sound like a lot, but again, you go through more than you think and you can always gift some to your child’s teacher. Given that they stock most of their classroom with their own money, they’ll be so grateful!

Another thing you need a ton of for back-to-school? PENCILS. Specifically, #2 pencils. And these EverStrong pencils from Paper Mate are reinforced for extra durability … even the lead is break-resistant when writing. There’s a Prime Day Deal for them, too: More than 50% off for 72 of them (and they’re pre-sharpened)!

Backpacks are another back-to-school essential that you can find at a discount for Amazon Prime Day – and Adidas’ Creator 2 Backpack works as well for kindergarteners as it does for high school seniors (let’s be real — they all have a lot of stuff!). It comes in 18 different patterns and has plenty of different pockets for optimal storage and organization.
For older kids who carry around electronics and seem to always be scrambling for a charger, this backpack with a charging port and lock is perfect. It comes in more than half a dozen colors, has more than 21 thousand rave reviews on Amazon, and it’s more than 40 percent off for Prime Day.
And you can’t forget lunchtime! Bentgo has become the go-to brand for all things meals, and their kids’ lunch bag (available in 18 patterns) is half. off. for Prime Day. It’s perfectly designed to fit a Bentgo box, ice packs, and a water bottle (sold separately).
