What to Take to School: Essential Accessories for Kids

The heat of August begins to fade, replaced by the gentle September breeze that ushers children back to school. The first day can be challenging for both kids and parents. One way to feel more at ease is to prepare thoroughly with all the essential school accessories. Choosing the right items will make the school experience more enjoyable and safe.

Essential School Accessories

There are numerous items that will be useful for children during their school adventure. From a backpack to a water bottle, these are daily essentials that help children feel comfortable away from home. Teachers often provide a detailed list to ensure your child has all the must-have school items.

• Backpack: A backpack of the correct size that is comfortable and easy to use is undoubtedly the most important item for starting school. Sassi Junior offers a wide selection of A5 mini backpacks made from durable, lightweight canvas, featuring adorable designs inspired by the characters from Unique Just Like You, each reflecting the child's personality.

• Water bottle: Another essential item is a practical, leak-proof water bottle with a straw to keep your child hydrated. Sassi Junior stainless steel water bottles are easy to use and come in child-friendly sizes: 500ml or 350ml thermal, all decorated with fun characters.

• Lunchbox: Lastly, a safe lunchbox is vital for keeping snacks fresh and easy for children to open. Sassi Junior BPA-free silicone lunchboxes feature airtight closures, are dishwasher- and microwave-safe, and perfect for a school-friendly snack solution.

How to Choose the Best Preschool Accessories

In addition to knowing the basic items, it's crucial to select high-quality, durable products that your child loves.

• Safe and durable materials: Products in contact with food or children must be non-toxic and long-lasting. Opt for BPA-free bottles and sturdy cotton backpacks.

• Functional and attractive design: A child-friendly design ensures ease of use. Bright colours or favourite characters can make the school experience more exciting.

• Easy to clean: Children will inevitably get messy, so items like water bottles and lunchboxes should be dishwasher safe for hygiene and convenience.

Extra Tips for a Smooth Start

The right school accessories make the first day easier, but small actions also help. For example, labelling items with your child’s name can be a fun activity together. Preparing your child emotionally for separation and establishing comforting routines can make the transition smoother. Packing the backpack together encourages responsibility and awareness of personal belongings.

By choosing natural fabrics, colourful designs, and safe materials, your child will feel ready and excited for school. Eco-friendly backpacks, stainless steel water bottles, and BPA-free lunchboxes combine style, safety, and practicality.
