asked parent
staff ers for their
back-to-school
must-haves.
These are their
top picks.“I’ve
successfully
switched
my kinder-
gartner
from
processed cheese
puffs to Biena
Snacks Chickpea
Puffs. They’re
packed with
plant protein,
not chemicals.”“I love my
Sonos wireless
speakers for
maintaining my
Zen on busy school-
day mornings.
I wake up super
early (5 a.m.!) and listen to
classical music while I get
ready, have coff ee and pack
lunches.”“My husband is from
Maine, so our family
swears by L.L.Bean
products. The backpacks
live up to the hype: They
come in bright, fun
colors and can take your
kids from elementary to
middle school.”“I use
these
ZoLi Sumo
stackers
for carrying
everything—lunch,
snacks, toys,
school supplies,
even my jewelry
and knickknacks
on trips. They’re
indestructible, and
they don’t leak.”Theodore,^
