At Target, the school supplies are crowding out the summer gear. Coolers and beach bags are making way for binders and backpacks, whether we’re ready for them or not. Because the first day of school is the farthest thing from my kids’ minds, I know we’ll need some motivation once it’s time to prepare for September. And since your average tween doesn’t exactly get jazzed by a new lunchbox, we moms must find creative ways to get the kiddies psyched for school. Enter Happy Charmz, a fun way to spice up your pencil box. These sweet little charms find right over the top of a pencil eraser, adding a little pizzaz to penmanship. (Think of it as bling for your favorite writing instrument.) Available in different sets featuring themes like Sweet Treats and B. Silly (a girly cupcake wearing glasses?), Happy Charmz are playful…with a purpose. So, if you’re looking for a fun way to cap off the summer and start the school year off on a fun note, consider slipping a set into your favorite student’s backpack on the first day. And imagine the smiles she’ll be wearing from ear to ear as she heads off to class.
In a Nutshell: Japanese erasers are sooo five minutes ago. These pencil toppers are fun to collect–and may even make that math homework a bit easier to tackle.
