As your child grows, tech will likely become an increasingly more prevalent part of their lives. The pandemic introduced many younger kids to laptops and tech gadgets they have never used before — and now, since having to attend school via computer screens, see teachers and classmates online, and complete assignments by sending it in virtually, our kids are so much more tech savvy than even just a year ago. Back-to-school shopping can be tricky because it’s hard to figure out exactly what to get when there are so many options. Some of the tools that we’ve found that help make the back-to-school shopping process easier are pre-made school supply bundles and shopping for kids clothing online.
