Yesterday, Shane started kindergarten. It was hard to say goodbye and leave him in that classroom, but I just barely held it together. Part of the reason I was able to stifle the tears is that he went to preschool last year, so this wasn’t really the first time- even though kindergarten is more official and “real”. The other reason is that we’ve been preparing for this day for months!
One of the things we did to get ready for back to school was go shopping for our school supplies. Shane’s school provides all of the supplies he will need, but they did send home a list of optional supplies that the classroom could use. We are fortunate enough to be able to contribute to the class, so we have been picking up some supplies the last few weeks!
Here’s what we got:
-baby wipes
-cleaning wipes
-storage bags
-glue sticks
–Viva Vantage paper towels
Why Viva? Viva Vantage paper towels, available at Walmart, are high quality paper towels at a low price! I didn’t want to send Shane with paper towels that would just break apart when the kids tried to use them, but I also didn’t want to spend more on class supplies than his clothing. Since Shane’s in kindergarten, I anticipate there being a lot of arts & crafts messes for them to clean up- and that’s not easy with thin paper towels! These paper towels stretch, making it easy for little hands to clean big messes.
Viva Vantage Towels are made with a revolutionary V-Flex Weave, which provides stretch- which in turn helps deliver great scrubbing power! They also have sponge-like absorbency to help soak up major spills. That makes them the perfect paper towels- not just for at school, but at home, too! We picked up some extra rolls while we were out so that we can clean up any messes the boys throw our way.
Buy It: You can find Viva Vantage Towels at Walmart or at Walmart.com.
How do you handle big messes?
I have recently switched from bounty to viva, I’m so glad I found this brand.
I handle big messes by using paper towels and this brand is one of the best because it really holds the wet spills great. I use paper towels to clean my fauctets and Viva makes them look spotless.
You can’t beat Viva paper towels! I especially like the chooses a size option. Most of the time I can get,what I thought was a big mess, cleaned up in no time using the smallest piece of paper towel!
I have never tried this brand before but think I’ll grab one to check out. Having 5 kids, I go through so many paper towels
I haven’t tried Viva in many years. Looks like I need to try them again.
viva is the paper towel of choice in my household
Congrats on your new student! We have the Viva paper towels in the house right now and they keep up nicely with all the kids’ messes!
We go through TONS of paper towels. I havent used this brand – but I will have to check them out.
We love Viva in our house, too. They’re so thick!
We buy those paper towels, they work great and we don’t seem to go through as many as we used to with a different brand
I really like Viva paper towels, but I haven’t tried the Viva Vantage just yet. They look great!
I like Viva too, They do last longer and clean up more. No way would I change.
I love Viva paper towels. They are strong and absorbent. But since we use paper towels for almost everything I also appreciate that they are very soft to the touch.
I don’t think I’ve tried those. I’ll have to look for them next time I’m in Walmart.
What great choices for classroom donations, where quality paper towels are definitely needed. Just think about the mess our own child makes and then multiply that by 20. 😛
Those are great items to take to your son’s school.
I’ve used Viva before not a bad product, usually pick it up when it’s on sale.
These are the perfect item to donate to the classroom! We handle big messes with viva paper towels too.
What a great item to gift to your classroom! We need these at home as well. I love high performing paper towels. Anything else feels much too wasteful.
I haven’t tried Viva paper towels before. Maybe I’ll have to give them a try. Thanks for the review!
His teacher was thrilled I bet! A classroom can never have too many paper towels!
You can really tell how great Viva paper towels are when you use them after using another brand for awhile. They even feel different. I need to give Viva Vantage a try soon.
