| Use 'em at home or at school, Sonic school supplies are great. They're also pretty collectible, because they often feature many different characters & are generally inexpensive upon release. This page will have ONLY modern supplies. If you don't need school, and just need some place to store your gear, why not try handy boxes, totes, school bags and binders? They can store more Sonic stuff for you. If an item is currently obtainable, a note will appear with its description. Some items may also be in the Sonic Gear School Supply Store. |

This is the Team Sonic: Unstoppable soft sides insulated lunch carrier. It's rectangular, dark blue and has the usual nylon handle at the top. The design has 3 CG modern faces for a stack of Sonic, Knuckles and Tails. They're overlapped, and applied on a white holo/shimmer fabric background. Tails' ears dictate the top edge curves of the front design. However, his is the only expression you can't see, as they stacked him too closely with Knuckles to fit everyone on the design at the size they are. (Why's his head so big, they just needed it a tad smaller and it would fit) The slogan is written vertically up one side with some rings added.
This is a Fall 2023 Wal Mart exclusive item, and is reasonably priced at about 10 dollars. Photo by Taaron |

Innovative Designs obtains a modern Sonic license, starts it off with this school case set, and then proceedes to go absolutely ham with making as much merchandise as possible.
The case that leads the way is a semi-soft-sides school case with zipper edge and "Green Hill Zone Adventures" theme. It's got heart-hands Amy, thumbs up Sonic, cheering Tails and 3-point landing Knuckles on a GHZ background. The back of the case has 3 yellow rings. It's not empty though, it comes with fun stuff to get started as well, all Sonic branded.

|
| There's a PVC clear/white pencil pouch with running Sonic on it, a sticker sheet with various characters, and 5 gel pens in different colors, and they're also branded with a stack of character art. (Shadow, Silver, Knuckles, Sonic, Tails) This measures about 13 by 5 inches (so even fits a ruler) and should be about 13 dollars. Confirmed at Amazon, but where else? |

This is the Team Sonic Molded Pencil Case by Innovative Designs. It's similar to the one above, semi-soft-sides with a zip edge, but this one has no accessories with it. The front has Sonic, Tails & Knuckles in hexagon shapes, and the back is rather busy with lots of speed lines, Sonic arts, 'I'm outta here' slogan' and rings. Because it is just the case, it is only 9 dollars. Confirmed at Amazon, but where else? |

Where Innovative Designs is doing most of their big works seems to be in 'art sets' like this one. (BEWARE OF FAKES*) This is the 'plastic case deluxe art set', and indeed, it all comes in a round |
|
| hard plastic snap-top case with lightly-textured Sonic face for the front. Inside is a spiral note book, a color-in standee of Shadow, a stamp pad, stamping top pen, markers, gel writers, coloring page, and 2 sticker sheets. Everything seems to snap into areas of the case to help keep it neat. If the back is flat, it would also be good for road trips. Everything here IS branded, it's their signature move. Like the stamp pad has a Sonic face on it, and all of the pens/pencils etc. that come with kits like these all will have Sonic art all over it. This is 20 dollars at Amazon, which is pretty reasonable because it is large and you do get a lot of stuff. Confirmed at Amazon, but where else? |

BEWARE OF FAKES
There are PLENTY of fake art kits circulating around Amazon & ebay because they don't like to police it. Sometimes fakers will buy these kits (somehow) dismantle them and then pad it with phony items, and some items are just purely fake trying to look like this but then have no case, stolen fan-art for stickers and generic pens or such. It is especially bad because unregulated fakes can use poison materials in kids' art supplies because they don't care. (Ex. lead is very cheap and makes very nice colors but you don't want it in your home at all--so it's tempting for fakes to use it) Make SURE you're buying brand named stuff when shopping. Sonic items ONLY have Sonic in them, never other characters like Mario or Spiderman in a bundle. (And fakers love to include non-Sonic franchises)
Fake art stuff is not only bad for everyone it can also be dangerous, so this is a PSA. Go to Beware of Bootlegs for more at the bottom of that page, including an example photo. |

This is the Innovative Designs 30 Pice Sonic Stationary Set
Usually the word 'stationary' refers to writing papers and envelopes for sending letters so they're stretching it a bit here because it has none of those things.
What you do get is 4 markers, 5 crayons, a Tails theme pencil sharpener, a Sonic face eraser, 2 sticker sheets, a mini note (final battle) and a vinyl pencil case with Shadow on it that says Ultimate Power.
It's only 10 dollars! It would be very internet of someone to pay 10 dollars for the priveledge of owning a pencil case that says 'ultimate power'. Confirmed at Amazon, but where else? |

Innovative Designs is going deluxe!
Here, they have their 200 Pieces Sonic art kit Tin carry case. How did they get up to 200 things? Well, they counted out each sticker as a seperate thing! Which, technically it is, but still. You can see what all it comes with here, it includes 12 crayons, 8 markers, 8 mini gel writer pens, a ruler, a pencil sharpener, 2 different size stamps, 1 kink pad, a sheet of coloring-stickers, several sheets of coloring pages that also have a game on them (maze, crossword, word-search etc) and the rest of the number is made up of the stickers on the sticker sheets.
Sticker sheets:
They love TINY stickers. Some of these are going to be about 1 cm x 1 cm in size. It doesn't mean they're bad, because stickers need to be all sizes, it's just to know what to expect. |

The front and back of the tin are both very stylish, you've got a great group shot with colorful layout on the front, and a Sonic vs. Eggman fight dynamic big image for the back. (What's he posed to do there? poke him in the glasses?) The tin itself is a very nice piece and pretty large, it's actually a really surprisingly good collectible for 20 dollars. Even if you used it for something else/flat safe storage. A good item. Confirmed at Amazon, but where else? |

This compact set is the Innovative Designs 11 Piece Stationary Set. It's all packed flat in a hang bag, and it comes with a spiral mini flip up note book, 2 markers, a ruler, pencil, big spiral notebook, |

Sticker collectors will be glad to see these! Seperate sheets with plenty of stickers to go around and decorate. Many of Innovative Designs kits include stickers, but this 14 sheet sticker set is a good way to |
|
| economically grab a whole hoard of them by itself. There are 2 pages of puffy stickers (white background) and then the rest are normal. There are plenty of poses for each character, accessories like rings and emeralds, and duplicates so you can use it on more than one thing. Look at the top of the raised sticker sheet: that's Infinite's face. Is this the first time this villain appears as a sticker? Probably. This is 8 dollars. Confirmed at Amazon, but where else? |

Here is Innovative Designs Coloring Paint Set. It has 2 canvas-like sheets with pre-done art of fist-out Knuckles and jumping twist Sonic. It comes with 6 mini paints in attached, lidded jars and 1 very common not-great paint brush. It's also about 8 dollars so it is likely not that large.
Can you correctly paint both characters using only 6 colors? Is the paint quality enough that it can be done? Maybe. Confirmed at Amazon, but where else? |

This is the Innovative Designs 150 Piece Coloring Art Set
This mid-size kit is in a carry handle cardboard box, and again they're counting the stickers as individual items in the count. However, there are still plenty of other things here. You get 12 different colored markers, crayons, mini gel pens, 4 sticker sheets, 8 coloring pages, 2 self-inking stampers, and 4 large 'foam character stickers'. That's the faces at the bottom, what they are is die-cut craft-foam (those sheets in craft stores) with stamped on paint to make character cut-outs. It's a good idea, but they're generally not very durable. The foam can bend but the ink can wrinkle as it is applied on top. It is good to be careful with these/apply them to something that won't take wear or damage. This is 13 dollars. Confirmed at Amazon, but where else? |

Even more items! Innovative Designs is going over 1000 with this "Sonic Paint Kit art set" Another carry handle cardboard big flat box contains over 1000 things to use and now includes a canvas.
There's a paint brush, a Sonic vs Eggman pre-lined canvas to paint, 6 paints, an activity pad (it's coloring), 24 crayons, 12 markers, &12 sheets of stickers. The stickers can be ultra-small, and there's clearly loads of rings ones. This is 20 dollars. Confirmed at Amazon, but where else? |

More stickers, this time in a sticker sheet book set, from Innovative Designs.
As it says, this includes puffy stickers (the front sheet) and then 3 more sheets are inside with normal stickers.
BEWARE- some sellers are trying to sell the puffy sheet by itself for 8 dollars. Go to Innovative Designs and just buy the whole thing for 8, and ignore sticker scalpers.
There are over 300 stickers, with good variety, notice no 2 of the same poses, and it does include less common characters like Dark Chao, Blaze and Infinite Jackal. (But where is Cream & do they have the Chaotix) This is 8 dollars. Confirmed at Amazon, but where else? |

| A Travel Box of Sonic art supplies...complete with pull out drawers! Innovative Designs doesn't seem to be slowing down and neither does the variety. This box uses velcro dots to shut, and has 2 pull-out drawers with holders for the colored pencils, crayons, markers and note pad. The top shelf has a whole watercolor kit with paint brush, pallet of hard colors, white sponge, eraser and pencil sharpener. Each side and even under the lid of the box is decorated with Sonic art like emeralds, rings, portraits, slogans and scenes.
They're really doing a good job of keeping every single thing Sonic branded, nothing looks slapped together. It's a pretty big item too, with sturdy hard-card sides/drawers. It is reasonable at only 15 dollars on Amazon.
