The United States Census Bureau reports that nearly 93% of people in households with school-age children said their children engaged in some form of “distance learning” from home.
With the onset of COVID in spring 2020, schools closed across 188 countries, throwing children into a new learning environment that the world had never seen before. This put over 1 billion children at risk of falling behind.
But soon after, schools all over the world introduced virtual schools and online learning so as not to put a strain on education.
With school at home, kids still struggled to get into the same learning mode. So, as a parent or aunt, uncle, grandparent, etc., here are some of the best gift ideas for kids starting online school.
A kid-friendly computer
With everything online, your kids will require an online learning device. While it's not necessary, this purchase will benefit parents who use their gadgets while working at home.
Kid-friendly gadgets do not mean just any laptop; instead, they are specially designed for kids and their use only. These come with educational apps installed, kids can play their games as well, and parents can monitor and control screen time.
New books for an at-home library
To retain some sense of normalcy, let kids feel like they are still at school. Parents can do this by buying their children books as gifts and building a space for reading. This will keep them in the habit of reading and also give them different things to do even while at home.
A new school bag
For a kid, one of the best parts of going to school is the back-to-school shopping. Getting new themed bags, lunch boxes, pouches, etc., was a thrill in itself!
With COVID, that's a joy that kids now miss out on. To keep your child engaged and looking forward to a new school year, it's essential that they feel excitement towards it even though it's from home.
Like the ones on our website, a new school bag is perfect for your little girls and boys! The best part is you can get personalized kids' backpacks as well.
Face masks with matching pouches
Face masks are one of the easiest and effective ways of protecting ourselves from COVID. In the next few months, as the world begins to go back to normal and schools open up, facemasks may still be mandatory in some districts.
Kids love to wear colorful and creative facemasks rather than simple and plain ones. This ensures that they will keep the mask on even without supervision.

Kids art apron
Through art, kids can channel their inner creativity. Through these creative activities, children can develop, grow, and discover themselves. Additionally, they also learn self-expression through the creative freedom that art gives them.
Whether your child is home-schooled or in virtual school, art is and should be an essential part of their learning process. As a parent, you should introduce them to different art forms such as painting, drawing, craftwork, etc.
To give them the push they need and to ensure they don't make a mess, get your kids an art apron. We offer art aprons in multiple designs and colors; they are protective, easy to clean, and put your child's comfort first!
