Back to school is just around the corner! I curated my favorite products to prepare you for what essentials you may need before the first day!
This Zak Stainless Steel straw cup is an awesome water cup for toddlers that is leak proof.
This Reduce Water Bottle for kids is one of the best leak proof options out there. It is ACTUALLY leak proof when the straw is closed and there is an extra locking mechanism to ensure it stays closed and doesn’t leak all over the bottom of a bag. It comes in 2 fun colors for younger kids and is the perfect size for them at 14 oz.
These make great blankets for a kid’s bed or for them to bring to daycare. They are so plush and soft, wash well, and are very affordable. I recommend the "throw" size for a toddler crib or bed and the "kids" size for a daycare blanket.
A label maker is so handy to have on hand for organization or labeling kid’s belongings. This handheld one is easy to use and comes with 3 rolls of tape.
This is the perfect first lunch box for little kids ages 3-7. You can perfectly portion out their meal, the tray is microwave and dishwasher safe and it is drop proof! These fit into the Pottery Barn "cold pack" size lunch boxes perfectly too.
The Bentgo version with a built in ice pack is also awesome and available here.
This daycare nap mat is awesome, it rolls up into a compact carrying case and includes a pillow, lightweight blanket, and a name tag. Machine washable!
This is one of my favorite hard straw water bottle for toddlers. It has a handle so it is easy for them to hold, is more lightweight them many similar styles out there and it has a silicone boot for protection. It is not 100% leakproof so we use this at home mostly or my kids brought and kept it at daycare because it was easy for them to open.
This simple bottle bag is sleek, lightweight, and has a built-in ice pack so you can just throw the bag right in the freezer each night before use. It fits up to six 8 oz bottles when you have to haul them to daycare daily.
This set of customized name labels are dishwasher and laundry safe to label anything from a water bottle to a lunchbox to clothing. We have them for all 3 kids, they come in fun themes!
These retractable charging cords are my favorite thing right now - I recently bought them for a trip and I cannot tell you how game changing it was not having multiple cords tangled and in my bag! It is compatible with all devices, comes in a two pack and saves your sanity from a tangled mess. I also use them in our home to avoid having multiple cords on our counter tops!
Back to school is just around the corner which often means it is time to buy new sneakers for your kid's growing feet! Here are some of my favorite sneakers for toddlers and little kids!
We love a basic tee because when all else fails, your favorite one can easily be paired with just about anything in your wardrobe and dressed up or down! I have a few favorites of my own, but kept getting this request in my weekly question box, so I knew it would be a good topic to poll the community on. While there are a lot of budget friendly options out there, personally I have found those do wear with time and many washes, so I don’t mind spending a bit more on an elevated fabric, so it lasts longer. We have included the top 4 submissions, which span all different prices.
