Small Beautiful Things
10 Things Back To School Edition
If you're not ready to face back to school, save this one for another day. If you take comfort in prep, here's your 10 things for back to school.
1. Backpack
I splurged on a State backpack years ago and it's still in great condition. This mini size is right for preschool (it's the one pictured above). The regular size is right for kindergarten and up.
2. Name Labels
If your school requires everything to be labeled, these everything proof name labels are what you need. They are still intact on our school stuff from two years ago.
3. Water Bottle
These are our water bottles of choice. I love stainless steel.
4. Lunchbox
I could do a whole post about why I love stainless steel, especially for the kid's things. This lunch box is indestructible and there's no soapy taste left on food with stainless steel.
5. Snack Container
When stainless steel isn't practical, I go with 100% food grade silicone like this.
6. Shoes
6. Shoes
These are our favorite fall school shoes. They are a great choice if your child is starting to get dressed themselves too.
7. Rain Boots
8. Tees and Leggings
9. First Day Sign
7. Rain Boots
These are our favorite rain boots, which I'm noting because we just tried ours on and they are inevitably too small for this coming school year.
8. Tees and Leggings
My favorite brands for durable school clothes are Oso and Me, Primary and Hanna Andersson. See my go-to styles here.
9. First Day Sign
I never order this in time and always end up writing one on my kitchen table the night before but maybe this will be the year I get it done. I love these ones.
10. First Day Outfit
10. First Day Outfit
My best friend uses picking out an outfit for the first day of school with her kids as a way to prep them for the transition. She is the wisest person I know so passing along her wisdom to you!
