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!!” After I decide him up within the afternoons, he tells me the issues he did (“I washed my arms!!”). Daniel and I are so completely satisfied and relieved that he’s adjusting nicely to a brand new scenario, particularly after final yr and never seeing many individuals.
Naturally, I wished to make the transition as straightforward as attainable for him. I attempted my hardest to get all of the issues he would wish (what the heck is a rain swimsuit?) whereas ensuring he’d like them, too. That meant virtually the whole lot was dinosaur themed, however not less than he was completely satisfied to take his lunchbox to high school! Right here is a few of the nice choices I discovered!
My Favourite Finds for Preschool

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 tug on, too.
Slip-on Crocs
At his preschool, the youngsters put on out of doors footwear and indoor footwear (that they go away in school). They really helpful Crocs clogs for indoor footwear. James has been sporting them round the home for just a few weeks to get used to them and to this point 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 numerous 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 tug on and off.
Pottery Barn Youngsters Mackenzie Dino backpack (small dimension)
James loves dinosaurs and this backpack is roofed in them. It’s cute, waterproof, and sturdy, with padded shoulder straps. I feel the small dimension will serve us nicely for a pair years. Oh, and we obtained it monogrammed along with his identify.
Cat & Jack Yellow Raincoat
For some cause, I simply actually wished a yellow rain jacket for him. This one is cute. It’s extra of a light-weight jacket, so maintain that in thoughts in case you’re searching for a fall jacket with just a little extra heat within the lining.
CamelBak water bottle
Leakproof, spill-proof, BPA-free, and dishwasher protected
Wildkin Dinosaur Lunch Bag
I pack this with a snack, fabric serviette, and James’s water bottle suits proper inside (he comes residence earlier than lunch), however it’s going to match a bento field or different lunch container and an ice pack!
Crayola Youngsters Reusable Face Masks
James’s faculty asks that children solely put on stable shade masks (prints might be distracting to little ones). This 5-pack of colourful fabric masks has been an amazing possibility to this point. The masks are light-weight, machine-washable, the ear straps are adjustable, and there’s a bendable nostril clip throughout the material to assist the masks keep safe. Bonus: there’s just a little tag to write down his identify on every masks.
