It’ll soon be time to go back to school! And to celebrate, Petit Fernand has created new illustrations for you and your children; you can find them right now on our customised pencil cases! There are several themes to choose from… The hardest part is choosing!
A pencil case personalised with your child’s name
One of the school back-to-school essentials you shouldn’t forget: the personalised pencil case! It’s a must-have accessory. Double compartment, Kawaii pencil case, round, rectangular or in cotton… There’s something for everyone!
Ideal for use both at school and at home, you need a personalised pencil case to keep all your pencils, pens, markers, rulers and other essential school supplies safe.
We’re starting to think about going back to school, and we offer different styles of pencil cases, suitable for both boys and girls, whether they’re in primary, junior or secondary school. There’s a panda school pencil case, a unicorn school pencil case, and pencil cases with football or surfing themes: there’s a pencil case for everyone! And to avoid losses or swapping between friends, you can personalise it by adding your child’s first name.
What do you need in a school pencil case?
Every time a new school year starts, the question comes up again: what should I put in my child’s school pencil case? Do we need to buy more supplies? Petit-Fernand is making your life as a parent easier by sharing this list of school pencil case essentials with you. A stress-free start to the new year!

How do you choose the right pencil case?
You’ve bought what you need to put in your school pencil case; now you just have to choose the right model for your kids. But which pencil case is the best choice for primary, junior or secondary school?
The first thing to look at is the composition and the material the case is made from. This accessory must be of good quality and robust enough to withstand a great deal of handling.
Size is also a consideration, as it should be large enough to hold all the equipment they need.
The third element, and probably the most important for your children, is the look of the personalised school pencil case. You’ll find lots of different colours and designs on our website to satisfy youngsters of all ages.
List of school supplies for primary and secondary schools
Schools usually send out lists of supplies in June. In addition to the school bag and pencil case, some other supplies are essential:
- – Notebooks
- – One hard and one soft ring binder
- – A diary or notebook
- – A rough notebook
- – Punched loose-leaf file paper
- – Sheets of double-spaced paper (or A3)
- – A music manuscript book
When should you buy school supplies?
The holidays are almost over, and some schools are already starting to send out the list of school supplies in July. But when is the best time to do your back-to-school shopping?
Some supermarkets put all their stationery supplies out on the shelves in June. Don’t panic! That doesn’t mean that we have to buy it right now! But to make sure you don’t miss what you need, it may be a good idea to make your purchases at the end of July. Which leaves you with the whole month of August to enjoy the holidays!
Before buying everything new, don’t hesitate to reuse some of last year’s supplies (pencils, rulers, folders, etc.). This will save you time and money!
So, are you ready for the new school year?
