Lots of kids are already back to school but some of us have a couple weeks left. Looking for and purchasing back to school supplies can be quite the task so why not make it a little bit more fun by purchasing items that showcase diverse characters that look like our multiracial children?

The following is a list I put together of some items that I found that feature characters other than the normal blonde haired / blue eyed cartoons. #representationmatters so why not carry that over into school supplies?

Unique Back to School Items for Multiracial Kids

Izzy and Liv Personalized Plates: Great if you home school or just for breakfast in the morning before heading off on the bus. (Also.. if you homeschool have you checked out this Montessori Inspired eBook?)izzy-and-liz-beauty-plus-brains-personalized-platePersonalized Curly Cutie Notebooks: Kids have to get notebooks for their schoolwork. Why can’t they feature curly cute kids that look more like them?

Zazzle Curly Cutie NotebooksBook bags with diverse characters such as this one with Elena, Moana, Doc McStuffins, Monster High, and Diego: I wish there were more options. If I find more I will come back and update this. But this is a big one. Kids will wear these everyday and will be one of the items they are most excited about. Why not have a diverse character on it?

Back to School ideas for Multiracial Kids

Multiracial themed clothes: You want to teach your kids to be proud and confident of themselves. They can wear their confidence right on themselves! I found some incredibly cute options through Izzy and Liv like this Brown Skin Cutie Tee & 100% Pure Brown Sugar Top. There are also some cute designs (by me) like this Curl Next Door Kids tee in multiple colors or this Mixed Kid Tee.
