Tech to School
Technology accessories like over-the-ear headphones and smartphone cases aren’t just functional, they’re fashion statements too. With a wide range of bright, bold colors and fun details to match character styles – like Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Rocket Raccoon “ears” or decorative Frozen “flowers” for inspired-by headphones by KidDesigns – kids can find the perfect wearable tech accessory to match their back-to-school outfits. Don’t forget to add a little flair to your smartphones with character-inspired cases like Darth Vader, Buzz Light Year and Minnie Mouse from Disney Store and DisneyStore.com.

Stylin’ School Supplies
From Doc McStuffins and Disney Princess characters to Marvel and Star Wars designs, backpacks, lunch totes and stationery items are available in a variety of colors, characters and styles at mass retailers as well as Disney Store and DisneyStore.com. Too much good stuff to pack in!

Fashion Collections for All Ages
Peek has drawn inspiration from the wisdom of Walt Disney and classic characters Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse to create their first Disney collection. Available now at Peek and select Nordstrom stores, this high quality, sophisticated and inspirational collection features graphic t-shirts for girls and boys.

The newest iteration of the tween lifestyle brand D-SIGNED is now available exclusively at Kohl’s – which offers a “mix & match” assortment of apparel that gives girls the opportunity to create their own styles. The D-SIGNED collection is inspired by the fun fashions featured on Disney Channel shows, and launches this summer with a collection from the popular “Girl Meets World” series.

With millennials looking to spend their own money this back-to-school shopping season, let them discover unique styles, patterns and prints of pop culture favorites like varsity jackets featuring Marvel’s Captain America at Walmart, or Marvel’s Avengers and Spider-Man styles from Her Universe, as well as the vast universe of Star Wars through tees, shoes and accessories by Vans.

Nutritious and Fun Snacks to Pack

Let Disney and Marvel help with better-for-you snacks available at grocers nationwide, including new Frozen packaged grapes and apples as well as Marvel branded packaged fresh fruit by Sage Fruit, Marvel’s Avengers branded Pirates Booty, CrunchPak and new GoGurt by Yoplait nutritious snack offerings, plus Mickey Mouse-themed snack packs with apples, berries, and more.
