Next Tuesday marks the first day back to school for most kids in North America. I was out at a local Staples and Walmart doing my usual aisle wandering when I stumbled on these two pieces from Binney & Smith (Crayola).

I can relate to the need that these two displays deliver, with two young ladies about to hit the books. It can be a bit overwhelming getting two little people ready to go off and get “edjumacated” (see it worked for me). Both Staples and Walmart had unique display concepts from Crayola that provided parents with a comprehensive check list of whats needed for each student from Kindergarten through Grade 12.

Kudos to both the brand and the retailers at play here. Judging by the low stock of checklists left remaining in each display, this program was well received.
