Cool for Back to School by Shabnam M.

Not only are these supplies "cool", but they will be helpful in school!

Mechanical Pencils (with lead too!)
You don't need those bad wall sharpeners if you get a mechanical pencil. When there is no more lead, refill the pencil with the right millimeter size.

Plastic Folders
They won't rip, no matter how much stuff you put inside! Most of them come with binding clips which is helpful for important papers.

Blue and Pink Erasers
Messed up...with pen? Don't worry! Blue and pink erasers are handy because they can erase both ink and lead! You'll find them anywhere.

Roseart's Colored Pencils with Erasers
Made a mistake in coloring? That is easily fixed with Roseart's colored pencils! Although the pencil might not feel very sharp, the eraser really works!
