  • Pack of mechanical pencils
  • Pack of pens
  • Pack of markers

  • Comb or brush
  • Tube of lip balm

As families and youth are acclimating to each other (or while kids are waiting to enroll in school), games and craft kits help ease the transition.

  • Puzzles for all ages
  • Craft kits for all ages
