Must-have back to school accessories

Everyone is enjoying their summer break, but the kids will be back at school for the autumn term before you know it. There are a few cool accessories now available that will make both their life, and yours, a little easier (and they’ll look fabulous too).

Times Table Hard Shell iPhone case

Now, this may seem a contradiction, but the fact is a lot of young, times-table learning children now have iPhones. If yours is one of them then this is the perfect back-to-school accessory. Not only does it protect the very expensive piece of equipment inside, but your child can learn his or her times tables en route to school. It is designed to fit the iPhone 4 or 4S. No doubt they’ll adapt it once the 5 comes out too.

Kipling lunch box

Kipling have long been associated with high quality, durable, lovely-looking bags. Now, they’ve turned their attention to lunch boxes and this is the best yet. The shoulder strap is removable and the main compartment is lined with elastic mesh and insulation to prevent food getting squashed and keep it fresh. Best of all, the bag is nylon so it is very easy to clean and your kids will love its fun, atypical design.

Notting Hill Rose long pencil case from Cath Kidston

Her ethereal floral prints in delicate pastel shades are unmistakeable and all girls heading back to school will adore her rose-printed, petal- pink pencil case. It is long enough for all pencil sizes but not so bulky it’ll take over her bag. Match it with the beautiful Notting Hill Rose rucksack (Cath Kidston, £25) to really give her some street cred.
