What a first grader will need

To prevent the trip to school from turning into an exhausting marathon, we have prepared a list of everything you need. It will help you quickly cope with school shopping and not lose sight of any important details.
✔ Kite first grader backpack : orthopedic, comfortable, inspiring
The first thing you should pay attention to is the backpack. It is the main thing that a young schoolchild needs, so it must meet the following requirements:
- Orthopedics . Thanks to the unique design of Kite school backpacks, the load is distributed evenly, which is especially important for children's weak backs.
- High quality . When sewing, we use ultra-durable materials that will last a long time and will not lose their brightness.
- Lightness . The weight of an empty backpack should be up to 1 kg so that the child can comfortably carry it every day without undue strain.
- Capacity . Spacious compartments, internal and side pockets, dividers for books and notebooks will help you properly place things and easily maintain order.
- The presence of a compartment for gadgets . Today, many schools are actively introducing tablets instead of textbooks. And Kite backpacks are ready for any innovations! After all, they have special compartments for tablets and pockets for phones.
- Design . To make your child enjoy going to school, choose a backpack with an inspiring design! Favorite cartoon characters, cute animals, bright prints or decor that illustrates your passion: sports, street style and much more. Stylish graphic motifs, delicate pastel shades or laconic classics - the choice is incredible!
✔ Pencil case with clips for stationery - the key to perfect order
✔ Shoe bag : a base for physical education, dance and sports clubs
At school, you can't do without a bag for changing shoes made of durable water-repellent raincoat fabric, which will look stylish and neatly store change shoes. These accessories are incredibly light and comfortable. Children will be delighted with a bag in a single capsule with a backpack and a pencil case!
✔ A pencil case is an important component of a first-grader's arsenal.
The range of pencil cases is incredibly large, however, pencil cases with one or two compartments are popular among first-graders.
What to fill a first-grader's pencil case with
Every first grader needs a blue ballpoint pen . It is best to buy two or three at once. Teachers recommend buying non-automatic models with a rubber grip to avoid fingers slipping while writing. A first grader's pencil case should have 2-3 simple pencils . Pencils marked HB would be the ideal solution.
Also, don't forget to put an eraser . Remember, a quality eraser should easily and without a trace erase lines drawn with a simple pencil. Make sure there is a sharpener . And so that the child does not get his hands dirty, choose models with a container for sawdust. In the lessons, the child will definitely need a 15 cm ruler.
Stationery list for junior high school students
A first-grader's set must include notebooks with a grid and a diagonal line, usually 12 sheets. An important criterion when choosing is the density of the paper. This indicator should be high enough so that the ink does not shine through on the other side. The cover should be dense and the child will like it. And to keep the notebooks in order and to save time searching, supplement the Kite first-grader's set with a stylish folder for notebooks made of plastic or thick cardboard.
In primary grades, special attention is paid to developing skills in cutting out applications, drawing, and creating various crafts.
Therefore, a first-grader must have:
- scissors with rounded tips and soft rubberized inserts on the handles;
- PVA glue and glue stick : pay attention to the uniform consistency of the glue and the absence of a pungent odor. For convenience, the glue stick can be equipped with an indicator, and the bottle with PVA can be equipped with a brush;
- a set of colored paper and cardboard . The main selection criterion is the density and saturation of the color;
- a drawing album - an A4 album is suitable;
- colored pencils - 6 or 12 colors;
- watercolor paints , gouache - to start, you can buy a set of 6 or 12 colors;
- brushes - choose medium-hard models with natural bristles (for watercolor), and synthetic brushes for gouache;
- a non-spill glass and a drawing palette will make drawing lessons neat and even more enjoyable;
- plasticine - which is easy to knead, holds its shape well and does not crumble;
modeling board and stacks - a good option would be plastic models, which can be easily washed with water or a damp cloth after classes; - the lining will protect the work surface from scratches, and the colorful pattern will cheer up the child;
- An apron with armholes will help your child concentrate on creativity and not be afraid of getting dirty.
To keep your creative supplies organized and not scattered all over your backpack, we recommend purchasing a folder for work . With it, your little student will conveniently place their stationery in one place, will be able to neatly store their masterpieces, and won't forget anything during class.
Despite the fact that in many schools, primary school students are fed lunch, they still manage to get hungry. Therefore, you can’t do without a lunchbox! When choosing Kite food containers , you can be sure of their safety and environmental friendliness. All models are made of food-grade plastic. Some models have dividers for convenient placement of pieces of fruit, cookies, vegetables and other healthy treats. Also, a schoolchild should have a water bottle in their arsenal. It is better to give preference to models made of Tritan - a durable material that, unlike glass, is not so fragile and much lighter.
A thermos or a thermos mug will come in handy in the cold season. Warm tea or cocoa will make school breaks even more comfortable. An umbrella and raincoat will save you in unpredictable weather. A wallet will help your child learn to be responsible with pocket money.
In addition to a backpack, it is important to set up a comfortable workspace at home. A desk lamp will provide the right lighting for your studies, a set of organizers will help you organize your office, and a small desktop trash can will help you maintain order. A well-thought-out space promotes concentration, organization, and a desire to study!

Children often want their backpack, change bag, pencil case, and stationery to be in the same style. With the Kite brand, this is possible! The line features stylish first-grader sets for boys and girls in a single design that your child will be wildly delighted with.
