New Smash Stationery School Range| Review

Homework with the kids can be hard work at the end of the day right?

At our house, homework with three different kids, all different ages with different temperaments and learning styles is occasionally hard work.

Something that I learned from a friend early on is that having the right system and routine set-up to use every night, makes it somewhat less of a chore.

So I always have a “homework station” set-up during term time with clear space and the right stationery ready to go (those scissors love to wander don’t they?).

The kids generally need

scissors
pens
pencils
eraser
an infinite supply of glue sticks (and a full-time adult to supervise the putting on of lids)
note paper for working things out
an adult to encourage, insist, cheer on and generally nag for the first few years of learning the routine.

The school holidays seem like a great time to get everything in order and add a little finesse to the system. Thanks to the lovely folks at Smash Enterprises and Big W Australia I had all the motivation I needed when a box full of office supplies arrived at my door.

These were not any old office supplies though as they were beautiful and pretty and inspired Bella and I to set up a new little office nook for her in our living room for when she heads back to school next week.

(Sigh. That came too quickly).

So welcome to the new Central station for getting homework done and doing it in style.
