Summer might be over but that doesn't mean the fun has to end. These kits will help kick the back to school jitters and keep your mind and time occupied while you're ignoring deadlines or finishing your assignments before they're due!

Whether you’re a teacher or student returning to school after summer break, having some fun projects lined up to distract you from homework (or grading) will make the semester fly by. Check out our picks below for Back to School Kits for the 2024-2025 school year.
