Final week, James began preschool. The dangerous information is I miss him as my fixed companion, however the excellent news is: he completely loves it. On the drive there within the mornings he tells me, “I’m so excited!!” Once I choose him up within the afternoons, he tells me the issues he did (“I washed my arms!!”). Daniel and I are so blissful and relieved that he’s adjusting nicely to a brand new scenario, particularly after final 12 months and never seeing many individuals.

Naturally, I wished to make the transition as straightforward as potential for him. I attempted my hardest to get all of the issues he would want (what the heck is a rain swimsuit?) whereas ensuring he’d like them, too. That meant virtually every little thing was dinosaur themed, however no less than he was blissful to take his lunchbox to high school! Right here is a number of the nice choices I discovered!

My Favourite Finds for Preschool

Slip-on Crocs
At his preschool, the children put on outside sneakers and indoor sneakers (that they go away in school). They beneficial Crocs clogs for indoor sneakers. James has been carrying them round the home for a number of weeks to get used to them and thus far they’re nice. Light-weight, straightforward to wash, straightforward to slip-on, and the heel band helps them keep on.

Crocs rain boots
These are the rainboots he’s worn for the previous 2 years (in several sizes). Fully waterproof, not too heavy, washable, and the handles on the edges are the perfect half. They make it really easy for James to drag on and off.

Pottery Barn Children Mackenzie Dino backpack (small dimension)
James loves dinosaurs and this backpack is roofed in them. It’s cute, water resistant, and sturdy, with padded shoulder straps. I feel the small dimension will serve us nicely for a pair years. Oh, and we received it monogrammed together with his identify.

Cat & Jack Yellow Raincoat
For some motive, I simply actually wished a yellow rain jacket for him. This one is cute. It’s extra of a light-weight jacket, so hold that in thoughts in the event you’re in search of a fall jacket with a bit extra heat within the lining.

CamelBak water bottle
Leakproof, spill-proof, BPA-free, and dishwasher secure

Wildkin Dinosaur Lunch Bag
I pack this with a snack, fabric serviette, and James’s water bottle matches proper inside (he comes dwelling earlier than lunch), however it is going to match a bento field or different lunch container and an ice pack!

Crayola Children Reusable Face Masks
James’s college asks that youngsters solely put on stable coloration masks (prints could be distracting to little ones). This 5-pack of colourful fabric masks has been a terrific choice thus far. The masks are light-weight, machine-washable, the ear straps are adjustable, and there’s a bendable nostril clip inside the cloth to assist the masks keep safe. Bonus: there’s a bit tag to write down his identify on every masks.
