Just in time for back-to-school the longtime staple gluestick of Italian classrooms is now available in the greener USA. Coccoina glue is non-toxic, non-solvent, and acid free. So nix the additives - this glue is made with ingredients we've all got in our kitchen pantry at the moment! Extracted from almond oil, this sticky stuff smells and tastes of marzipan - just in case you got yourself a preschool paste-eaters. : )
Coccoina Glue Stick $4.50
Aren't these lunch bags just charming? Linen is just so naturally fresh and clean, and these minimalist lunch bags feature a coated linen exterior, i.e. wipedown, ladies! Who ever thought we'd get the breeziness of the fabric with the easiness of the plastic! The designs are so hotly retro, and while there's no guarantee your kid won't feign for some gnarly middle school trend when he's older - you can at least expose the children to some simple design goodness while they're young and impressionable! : )
Linen Lunch Boxes, from So Young Mother $25.00

Pretty cute, hey?
