The Best School Supplies in Singapore: A Helpful Guide for Parents

7 min read

When it comes to school supplies in Singapore, parents only want the best. However, most of us don’t have enough time to browse different offerings of various brands. Luckily, we compiled the best places where you can find specific items for your kids before the school year begins.

Best School Supplies In Singapore

Are you having trouble preparing your kids for school? Do your struggle with choosing the best subscriptions, supplies, and books needed to help your children? Well, look no further! We’ve got your kids covered with our list of the best school supplies in Singapore! 

Best Subscriptions for Back-To-School Needs and Activities

With the ongoing advancement of technology, we must consider subscribing to different online offerings for our kids. By doing this, we can make school-related needs easier for us and our kids. These subscriptions vary from ink, books, activity boxes, and streaming sites. 

  • HP Instant Ink

No matter what level our kids are in, buying ink is a must. We must prepare for different projects that require several printed materials. Because of this, it’s best to subscribe to the HP Instant Ink service to lessen our need to run to the store. By being a subscriber, you can also save up to 50% on ink compared to purchasing from retailers.

By subscribing, you can get a 3-month free trial and enjoy the whole subscription before the school year starts. With this, parents can save money and easily prepare for printing school worksheets or required DIY projects. Kids may also enjoy easy access to printing if they need last-minute images or files for class. Moreover, having accessible printing encourages our children to engage in more school-related activities.

Plus, the freebies don’t stop there! If you leave a review, you can receive a $10 Shopee voucher with our ongoing HP Instant Ink subscription online giveaway!

  • Green Kid Crafts

Green Kid Crafts offers custom gift boxes that help develop your kid’s love for science and art. You only need to enter your kid’s level or age range to match the best activity box.

This subscription can enhance your kid’s intellect and promote more productive weekends. You may also bond with your kids by selecting monthly boxes containing 4-6 fun-filled projects.

  • Netflix

You probably already have this subscription but you can never go wrong with Netflix. Thanks to the platform’s restrictions, you can monitor the kid-friendly shows that your children watch. Don’t be afraid in letting them explore different genres and watch along with them.

By subscribing to streaming platforms, you can encourage your kids to learn different life lessons depicted in shows or films.
