Thread: School supplies

Hi fellow translators!
I have had trouble finding some "general" terms for the following school supply list- including the title!
Hope to get some ideas on general terms!

Here's what I have so far:
School supply list - lista de utiles escolares
backpack - mochila/bolso/maletin (now none of these are general tems, and i know there is one main one out there)
rolling backpacks - bolson con ruedas
safety hazard - ?
paint smock - camiseta vieja para la clase de arte (because it says "please send in an old adult size tshirt for your child to use as a paint smock)
baby wipes - toallas mojadas o toallitas de bebe
paper towels - rollo de paper cervilleta
glue stick - barras de pega
cooking/snack fee - cobro de aperitivos y....?
3 ring binder - cartapacio (friend from guatemala said that)

any help is greatly appeciated as i have to have this for tomorrow!
BTW, this is for a school in the US.
Thank all!

Perhaps it means that rolling backpacks are a safety hazard?

This document might help you.

Hola Pazonova,
Thanks for the document, I gave it a quick over. It's almost similar to my Kindergartden list, except mine goes into a bit of detail.
And yes, the sentence does say "we also ask not to have rolling backpacks as they are a safety hazard".
So that sentence I've translated as "Les pedimos que no use un bolso que tenga ruedas porque representan un peligro".
so far I've used : toallitas desinfectantes (como las que se usan para bebes baby wipes), barras de pega - for glue stick, cuota de aperitivos - snack fee, libreta de 3 anillo - 3 ring binder. The rest I've let with the initial translations that I have.
Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the tip Hebe!
