Brown Basic School Supplies

What supplies are on most school supply lists?

From scissors to clips, tap to pencil boxes, you have a long list to get through. Here are some the school supplies you’ll have to gather up: Scissors, clips, binders, rules, protractors, tape, sticky notes, pencil sharpeners, pencil boxes, and textbook covers.

Tackle your next project with scissors, rulers and drafting accessories. Safety and standard scissors offer safe options for little hands and precise cutting tools for art projects. Protractors, rulers and compasses prepare math students for geometry and trigonometry classes. Find scissors, rulers, and compasses for early learners, college students and everyone in between. Organize handouts and other papers with binders, paper clips, hole punches, staples and staplers. Decorate with art hung on removable mounting hooks, and display photos with magnets and push pins.

Don’t forget the tape! Whether you're completing a science fair project with double-sided tape, finishing a quick repair with duct tape or boxing up books with masking and packing tape for a big move to a college dorm, we have what you need. Leaving a note for a roommate or flagging a passage in a book is simple with a variety of sticky notes.

You’ll want a manual and electric sharpener that hones your pencils to perfect points. Students can keep everything organized with pencil boxes and pouches that keep school supplies neat and in their place. Textbooks can take a beating throughout the school year. Keep books looking brand new with book covers, which are stretchy for easy coverage and prevent marks, scratches and other damage.
