As September quickly approaches and summer draws to a close, everyone turns their attention away from vacations and sunshine towards books, school buses and homework. Back-to-school time is fast approaching, and along with the essentials for class, such as backpacks and pencils, it’s time to think about the other back-to-school essentials to ensure your child stays happy and healthy all year long.

Below are some of our best products to help your child stay healthy in mind and body through all the germs, school lunches, homework stresses and rapidly cooling weather.
