As the end of summer approaches, it's time to start preparing for your little one's return to school, preschool, or nursery. At Scandiborn, we understand how exciting yet overwhelming this transition can be. That’s why we’ve curated a collection of back-to-school essentials to make the process smooth and enjoyable for both you and your child. Here’s a quick guide to help you get ready for the new school year, featuring some must-have items from our Back to School Collection.
Choosing the Perfect Backpack
A good backpack is a cornerstone of back-to-school preparations. It needs to be functional, comfortable, and, of course, adorable! Our new range from Trixie features delightful animal-themed backpacks that your child will love. These backpacks are not only cute but also designed with practical compartments to keep their belongings organized. Each backpack fits an A4-sized folder and has a handy front pocket for easy access.
Lunch Bags and Boxes
Packing a nutritious lunch is essential for keeping your child energised throughout the day. This Little Dutch Mepal Lunchbox has a handy bento box design which keeps food fresh and organised.
Keeping hydrated is also extremely important for active toddlers. Our water bottles are designed to be easy for little hands to use and carry, ensuring your child can sip water throughout their busy day. This eco-friendly, unbreakable and leak-free water bottle from Liewood is perfect for school or nursery days.
Comfort Items
Starting nursery or preschool can be a big step, and having a comfort item can make all the difference. Whether it's a cosy blanket, a soft toy, or cuddle cloth, these familiar items can help your child feel secure in a new environment.
Preparing for the First Day
Preparation is key to a smooth transition. Here are a few tips:
- Practice the Routine: In the weeks leading up to school, start practicing your new routine. This can include waking up, getting dressed, and having breakfast at the same time as a typical school day.
- Label Everything: Make sure all your child's items are labelled with their name. This prevents mix-ups and ensures everything comes home at the end of the day.
- Talk About It: Discuss the exciting things they will do at nursery or preschool. Reading books about starting school can also help alleviate any anxieties.
