I teamed up with The Hopping Bloggers for this sponsored Back To School Gift Guide! All opinions are my own.
Back to school is here and we want our kids to be ready to go back to school with supplies and toys and games that will stimulate their minds. I’ve rounded up some brands that I love as classic favorites as well as some new ones that I love too. This year, I want to offer my girls as many STEAM opportunities as I can and these games/ toys/ manipulatives with help with just that. Take a look at how you can stimulate their learning experiences and have them prepared for school too. The Savvy Learning Back to School Guide has the perfect items you will need to start the year off right.
2017 Savvy Learning Back to School Guide

Bitsbox – Coding for Kids
StemBox – STEM learning kits
Each month StemBox delivers hands-on STEM learning to girls 8-13. Girls also receive exposure to some of today’s most inspiring women in STEM through educational videos and interviews. At StemBox, they believe in breaking down stereotypical ideas about gender and toys. They love it when we see boys asking for their own StemBoxes and becoming young STEMinists. Science is for everyone! However, due to the lack of girls in STEM it is clear that action needs to be taken to reach out to girls who may not think science is for them by meeting them where their interests currently lie. And sometimes that means adding a bit of pink!

Crayola – Silly Scents
Nothing says the start of school like a new box of crayons or markers and teacher’s love Crayola. Crayola has fun new silly scents in markers and twistable crayons.
