Prime Dayis here, and we’re updating this story hourly. To find the best deals in every category, follow all ofour Prime Day coverage.
It may only be the second week of July, but it’s not too early to start thinking about back-to-school shopping — especially given the huge number ofPrime Daydeals on school supplies, backpacks, lunch boxes, water bottles, and shoes and clothing for kids. So I’ve rounded up all the best sales I’ve noticed on gear for kids of all ages, from pens and glue sticks to backpacks and sneakers. (If you’ve got a college-bound student in your life, we’re also trackingPrime Day deals on dorm-room essentials.)
Every product below is marked down by at least 20 percent, though many are marked down even more. I’ve organized products by category so you can skip ahead to exactly what you need or browse through all of the on-sale Sharpies, Post-Its, insulated water bottles, and comfortable sneakers. But you’ve only got a few hours left to shop until Prime Day ends, so don’t dillydally.
School supplies
Whether you’re preparing a 5-year-old for kindergarten or helping your high-schooler pick their electives for senior year, I suggest checking their supply lists now and picking up whatever you can while it’s on sale.
