School is back in session. From fresh-faced Kindergartners to college students, this is the time of year when summer break ends and everyone’s studies resume. It’s a bittersweet time, at best, for a lot of students, but it means there’s a need to go shopping for school supplies.
We haveseveral other listsrecommending themed stationery, and we figured this would be a good time to recommend some more. The franchise we’re focusing on this time is Minecraft, one of the most popular video games in the world, whose potential for creativity allows it to grow with its players.
Minecraft 13 Piece School Supplies Value Pack
Thirteen useful items
This bundle contains just about everything you’ll need to return to school, including multiple notebooks, pencils, a folder, a pencil case, a ruler, and several stickers, all in one place.
We’ll start out with a couple of bundles of school supplies, as those are often a great way to get yourself ready for going back to school. This bundle is the largest we’ll feature. It contains thirteen items, including three notebooks, a folder, pencils, a pencil case, stickers, a bookmark and a ruler, all decorated with some well-drawn and genuinely pretty scenes from the game. We’re particularly fond of the scene of the wolves on the snowy mountain.
Minecraft Pencil Case And Stationery Set
Great for beginning artists
Leaning toward artistically inclined students, this set contains a variety of colored pencils, a pen, notebooks of different sizes, and a ruler. It’s ideal for art students, or those who are simply fond of the colorful.
Another bundle, this set doesn’t quite contain everything a child is likely to need for school, but it covers a lot of ground in a way that leans toward being useful to young artists. There are five colored pencils in this kit, along with an eraser, a sharpener, and a couple of notebooks. If you’re nurturing a burgeoning artist or the kind of student who wants to take their notes in color, this is the product for you.
Minecraft 9-Piece School Supplies Value Pack
It has a calculator
This nine-piece school supplies pack leads the opposite direction of the product above, lacking supplies specifically for artists, but containing more stuff for students of STEM topics, including a calculator.
Where the last product is geared toward artistically inclined students, this one has more stuff for math and science. It only has standard pencils, nothing colorful that’s intended for drawing, but it also has a calculator, along with a notebook, folder, and a ton of stickers. It’s the least expensive of the three packs we’ve featured, so if you’re on a budget, this might be the product for you.
Minecraft: Survival Mode Spiral Notebook
A great way to organize your notes
This tabbed notebook is a great way for a student to keep notes straight despite them being for a bunch of different subjects, and every part of it looks super cool.
Just need a notebook? Well, you can’t do much better than this one. This notebook is divided into several sections by fancy plastic dividers, each themed after a different Minecraft mob,like the famous creeper. It’s not just the dividers that are themed, mind you. Each section’s pages are a different color and feature a different design. Plus, the dividers have tabs that make it easy to navigate between the sections of this notebook. It’s a great way to keep your notes straight for a ton of different subjects.
Minecraft Pencil Case
Multi-chambered and zipper-closed
This pencil case has multiple compartments, and comes pre-filled with a ton of useful supplies, including colored pencils, a ruler, and some kid-safe plastic scissors. It travels well, and is amazing for crafts.
If you’re looking for utensils for writing or for arts and crafts, this set just might be for you. This awesome pencil case has several different colored pencils in it, along with some scissors and a ruler. One interesting thing about this case is the selection of colors available. There are only six, but they’re selected to suit a natural aesthetic, with multiple shades of blue and a lean toward softer colors.
Minecraft Filled Pencil Case And Stationery Set
Tons of cute little sticky notes
This pencil case and stationery set contains multiple erasers, along with a note pad, ruler, and sticky notes. It doesn’t have a lot of color, but has everything you’ll need to make some nice sketches.
Another pencil case full of convenient supplies, this set also comes with a notebook. The best things about it are its multiple erasers and the sticky notes it has to help you keep track of things. They can function a lot like the tabs on the notebook a few products ago, but you get to put them exactly where you need them. There’s no color to these pencils, but if you’re writing, or if you want something for sketching, they’re right for you.
Minecraft Creeper & Steve Sticky Note Cubes
A very clever concept
These sticky note cubes feature the heads of the two most iconic entities in Minecraft, the default player and the devious, exploding monster known as the creeper. There are well over a thousand notes here.
Minecraft is a game full of cubes. Cubes define its entire aesthetic, and there are dozens of iconic cubes associated with the game.There’s no shortage of merchtaking advantage of this by making replicas of naturally cube-shaped objects like storage tins and boxes, and this is another good example of that. While sticky note blocks are not always cubes to start with, them being so means they contain a ton of notes, all while having a really fun design.
Minecraft Art Set
Time to enter creative mode
This expansive art set includes a variety of colors of crayon, colored pencil, marker, and watercolor paint, all in a case that is extremely convenient to travel with.
We end with the most extensive set of art supplies on this list. This art set has a wide variety of artistic implements: crayons, markers, colored pencils, and watercolor paints. The variety of utensils eats into the variety of colors for each utensil (there are twelve watercolors, and eight of the rest) but this still gives you a good variety to play around with. The set comes with a small notepad.
The most impressive thing about it is how well all of it travels. This case is extremely compact when it’s closed, and is as easy to transport as a supply this large reasonably could be.
FAQ
What is the Minecraft art style called?
Minecraft’s art style is so distinctive and recognizable that it’s probably more associated with the game itself than with any other label it has, so you probably won’t do too badly just calling it “the Minecraft art style,” but if you’re looking for a more “generic” way to refer to it, it could be considered a form of pixel art as well.
How can I learn art fast?
Practice. This is, fundamentally, how humans learn things. As we do them over and over again, our brains rewire themselves to become better at them.
