A million things are needed for school - a beautiful pencil case, notebooks with boring covers, a new backpack (even if the old one is still quite intact), as well as textbooks, uniforms and shoes. We have chosen markets where you can buy all this (well, almost all) at once.
Festival "Moscow on Asphalt"
The Museum of Moscow, together with the Afisha-Children project, is holding a children's festival and a school goods market. In addition to beautiful things, they promise a book zone from the Marshak store, a Bumper bus with the BumperROK project, and other fun. There will also be recreation areas with air mattresses and a food court. Also at the festival there will be an open day of the Children's Center of the Museum of Moscow - you can choose a couple of circles to your liking.
back to school
The House of Books on Arbat holds a pre-school festival every year. While parents are buying notebooks and pencils, children are having fun at free workshops. You can come at any time of the day and get to something interesting. Children draw with wax crayons, glue minions from colored paper, make crafts and bracelets, watch cartoons and performances. The full schedule of master classes and festival events can be viewed.
Festival "Big Change"
Large fair of school goods in the Central Children's House. It is clear that without buying a couple of expensive toys, you won’t be able to get past all these pencil cases and knapsacks. But if the child goes berserk from shopping and goes into a rage, you can switch it to other entertainment - something happens here every day. There are author's book readings with the Republic, a children's program from the Bumper book bus, chemical experiments with the Experimentanium, and other interesting things. On the ground floor they play yard games - basketball, rubber bands, socks, hopscotch.
Market "Soon to school"
TSUM organizes a themed pre-school market. In the children's space with clothes and shoes on the 4th floor, you can collect school uniforms for first graders and older children. There is also a pop-up of school goods with stationery, briefcases and backpacks from Angry Birds, Barbie, Cars, Frozen, Littlest Pet Shop, Seiban, Kids Ami, Madpax and other brands.
School Fest
Afimoll collected a lot of difficult and not too cheap European brands. There are Pablosky shoes, beautiful Shell backpacks with laptop and tablet compartments, pencil cases and lunchboxes in the form of cute monsters, as well as everything that can be somehow connected with school life - tablets, smart watches, e-books and other gadgets. According to tradition, it is best to come to Afimoll during the day on weekdays - then there will be very few people there.
Summer flew by unnoticed and many did not have time to fully prepare the child for school. Many parents are interested where to dress a child for school in Moscow, Yes, so as to fit into their financial capabilities, because the prices for children's clothing sometimes exceed those for adults. Moscow is a big city and if you know the “right places”, you can save a lot on buying a school uniform.
It makes no sense to buy a uniform for a few months, over the summer the child stretches a lot and even if you took clothes for growth, they will not always fit as they should. And it will begin ... to hem there, to sew in here, etc. That's why clothes for school bought already immediately before September, two weeks. Every parent knows that just during this period, the prices for the entire “school set” simply go off scale and for some this is a real blow to the family budget.
When choosing clothes, it is better to buy a minimum set, but made with high quality, than to collect a full closet of things that in a month will be covered with spools and stretch. Believe me, such savings will end up in the fact that the clothes will have to be updated every six months or go until the end of the year in what it has become. This is especially true for boys, if a girl is able to neatly wear a school uniform, it is pointless to save on a boy's clothes.
What is included in the school uniform is decided mainly by the parents themselves, but there is also a standard set for the average student.
Minimum set for school attendance:
- Blazer;
- 2-3 shirts (blouses);
- vest;
- trousers 2 pairs (skirt);
- school sundress;
- tights 2-3 pairs;
- shoes.
Also, do not forget about the sports kit:
- sport suit;
- sneakers or sneakers;
- T-shirt 2 pcs.;
- shorts.

On average, a school kit for a girl will cost about 6650-6750 rubles, and for a boy 6800 rubles, plus a sports kit for 2900 for a girl and 4580 rubles for a boy. Most of these things are branded, which significantly inflates their price.
Another Nasha Form store, it is quite simple, but the quality of things is very good. It is located on Pokryshkina Street, in the Central Federal District, on the second floor of the Nikulino shopping center. The store itself may not impress with its size, but the assortment will definitely do it. The clothes presented here are sewn from high-quality natural fabrics, with many shades and models. The minimum price of a school set is 2800-3000 rubles. Cons: no sportswear.
The Smena store is also in good standing among parents. The price of a full suit is from 2850 to 3500 rubles. In most educational institutions, school clothes in Moscow has a standard style, and in some schools they don’t wear a uniform at all, but there is a certain dress code. The Smena store sells both simple school clothes and uniforms, so it fits both options.
Online store "Peremena", on its showcase you will find everything you need to prepare for school or even kindergarten. Here is the largest selection of sports and casual clothing. The average price of a school uniform is 3500 rubles.

Two years ago, at a press conference, Vladimir Putin sighed and said that the introduction of a single school uniform was "inevitable." A year later, the relevant bill was submitted to the State Duma for consideration, and this spring, according to all the rules of Russian fashion weeks, a show of children in checkered skirts and vests was held in the Manege. At the same time, it became obvious that by September 2014 no one would have time to send off the necessary 12 million sets. So while the introduction of the general form is postponed to next year, you can choose clothes yourself. Unless, of course, the school where your child goes has no form already in place.
Beverly Hills Uniform
California pants and polo for Russian scouts and cheerleaders
What is it A hodgepodge of typical American school kits, brought to Moscow by Elizaveta Kutis, already known for the same uniform store, but for doctors.

There is also no escape from the scout beige pants - for both girls and boys.

Everything according to the standard in the store "Change"
A few years ago, certain standards were introduced in all schools that relate to everyday uniforms. Many representatives of retail outlets still have not learned them and put up for sale inappropriate products. The Smena store sells complete sets of clothes that meet all standards.
