Whether it’s their very first day of school or just a new grade, going back to school is always a big moment. As parents, we feel it too - the excitement, the nerves, the last-minute prep, the hope that everything will go smoothly.

At Joeydolls, we believe that every child should step into school feeling proud of who they are. That’s why we created a collection of back to school supplies that celebrate culture and uplift children through joyful, purposeful designs.

Let’s get into what makes this collection so special!

Celebrate Culture Through Everyday Items

Our latest back to school collection includes apparel, backpacks, pencil cases, stickers,  tote bags, and even a puzzle - all designed to help kids carry what they need and who they are. From bold prints to soft tees, each piece is made to celebrate culture, boost confidence, and spark joy on day one and beyond.

1. Backpacks, Pencil Cases and Totes

Our backpacks, pencil cases and totes aren’t just cute (though they definitely are). They’re thoughtfully designed to reflect joyful, culturally inspired prints - so kids can walk into class feeling like their heritage is celebrated.

Made with durable materials and easy-to-clean finishes, they’re practical, too - because parents need that just as much as style.

  • The Cultural Identity Set - Featuring Joeydolls in traditional dress and floral motifs

  • The Asian Snacks Set - A playful pattern inspired by beloved snacks and desserts

2. Apparel That Speaks for Them

Our best-selling tees let kids wear their culture with pride. With designs that match some of our dolls and celebrate Asian identity, they’re perfect for the classroom, picture day, or weekend outings.

3. Stickers and Puzzles for Meaningful Play

Let kids express themselves with stickers that celebrate their heritage - perfect for decorating notebooks, water bottles, or lunch boxes. And for a fun challenge, our new puzzle makes culture part of their playtime too - turning learning into something they’ll actually look forward to.

4. Confidence Checklist — Now Free With Purchase

With any purchase of our apparel, backpacks, pencil cases, or sticker sets, you’ll receive our exclusive First Day of School Confidence Checklist.

It’s a printable filled with positive affirmations to help your child:

  • Feel brave

  • Celebrate their identity

  • Affirm their worth

No code needed. Just order and we’ll send it your way!

Why Representation in School Supplies Matters

When kids see themselves in the dolls they play with, the books they read, and the accessories they carry, it shapes how they see their worth in the world. Joeydolls exists to ensure that every child feels that sense of belonging.

That’s why we pair every cultural product we create with thoughtful tools like our Back to School Checklist for Kids - to help ease transitions with joy, pride, and representation.

Whether you’re shopping for your little one, gifting a teacher, or preparing for preschool drop-off, we hope our collection helps make that first step into school just a little more magical.

Make School More Than Just Academic

Back to school doesn’t have to be stressful - it can be a chance to spark cultural curiosity, start meaningful conversations, and build a foundation of pride that lasts all year long.

Here’s how our items support this:

  • Designs that spark questions from classmates - giving your child a chance to share their story

  • Tools for teachers who want to be more inclusive in their classrooms

  • Positive reinforcement for parents looking to support emotional growth
