The biggest shopping lists are usually handed to parents of future first-graders or kindergartners. Why prepare wallets and where to look for supplies, uniforms, shoes? Kids, pencils and more ...
In the kindergarten, the children begin to receive the first knowledge and develop their creative abilities, for this they will need the following stationery:
- markers;
- cardboard white and color;
- pencils and sharpeners;
- colored paper;
- paints and a jar for water;
- brushes;
- plasticine.
Among the mandatory purchases is also a form for physical training (T-shirt, shorts, sneakers), Czechs for lessons in the dance class. For the youngest children are asked to bring a sheet on the mattress and oilcloth.
You will also need a toothbrush, paste, liquid soap. In kindergarten will be happy and other household products.

If in shopping for kindergarten freestyle reigns, then the schoolchildren are all regulated. First, the school uniform must correspond to the business style. Every year, Ukrainian factories sew new collections of clothes. Some models are successful, some not very good. But there is a choice. A schoolboy will also need a form for physical education, sneakers.
In gymnasiums, there are often special requirements for the color of a business suit and a sports uniform. Even to the elements of registration, the notebooks "find fault".
You might need a knapsack, or maybe not. Parents should know in advance about its real need in the first grade. Often things first-class are stored in the school, in special lockers or on the windowsill. The need for a knapsack arises, in fact, from the 2-3 rd grade. If you can not do without a knapsack, then it is worth as much as possible to approach his choice from the point of view of orthopedic (load on the back) and size.

- Album for drawing or a block of white paper.
- A set of colored paper.
- Colour pencils.
- Watercolor paints.
- Gouache, a glass for water.
- Paint brush.
- Ruler 20 cm.
- Glue stick.
- Scissors with rounded ends.
- The pen is ball.

A typical story that happened to one of the moms: she was so carried away by the search for goods that were cheaper, that, after all, she got off her feet, finally got confused and bought what she found on hand. Perhaps she saved a thousand on her notebooks, but at the same time she spent so much useful time.
The best way to get a child to school or a kindergarten, regardless of age, is to attend a specialized exhibition. Annually in Kiev before the beginning of the academic year, producers and sellers of goods for schoolchildren gather. They bring the latest product innovations and the best samples for demonstration, advertising and retail sales. And many of them offer goods directly from producers and suppliers, that is, at reduced prices.
