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 decide him up within the afternoons, he tells me the issues he did (“I washed my fingers!!”). Daniel and I are so completely happy and relieved that he’s adjusting effectively to a brand new state of affairs, particularly after final yr 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 wish (what the heck is a rain go well with?) whereas ensuring he’d like them, too. That meant nearly all the things was dinosaur themed, however a minimum of he was completely happy to take his lunchbox to highschool! Right here is a few of the nice choices I discovered!

My Favourite Finds for Preschool

Nike Flex Runner in sport/royal with college pink
-AND-
Nike Flex Plus in smoke gray
James has worn these sneakers for a yr now and I can’t say sufficient good issues about them. They’re comfortable, breathable, tremendous versatile, and light-weight. The loops on the again and tongue make it really easy for him to drag on, too.

Slip-on Crocs
At his preschool, the children put on outside footwear and indoor footwear (that they depart in school). They really helpful Crocs clogs for indoor footwear. James has been carrying them round the home for a number of weeks to get used to them and up to now they’re nice. Light-weight, straightforward to scrub, 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 perimeters are the perfect half. They make it really easy for James to drag on and off.

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

Cat & Jack Yellow Raincoat
For some motive, I simply actually wished a yellow rain jacket for him. This one is lovely. It’s extra of a light-weight jacket, so hold that in thoughts for those who’re in search of a fall jacket with a bit of 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 house earlier than lunch), however it’s going to match a bento field or different lunch container and an ice pack!

Crayola Children Reusable Face Masks
James’s faculty asks that children solely put on strong shade masks (prints may be distracting to little ones). This 5-pack of colourful fabric masks has been an incredible possibility up to now. 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 of tag to put in writing his identify on every masks.
