“Zero waste” lunches
Have you ever counted the juice boxes and Ziploc bags that end up in the trash each year? Over the course of a 180-day school year, that’s a lot of containers thrown away by a family! What if we replaced them with reusable containers?
In addition to being eco-friendly, they are also economical (son's Drink in the box juice box is still impeccable after more than a year of use!), and, let's face it, they are so much more attractive than the disposable packaging on the market.
Discover this season: the Sugarbooger collection. Lunch boxes, sandwich containers, utensils, bottles, etc.: it's the perfect collection to equip little diners at school. The containers are durable, easy to open and, above all, we literally love the cool patterns.
Made in Canada, the Colibri snack and sandwich bags also stand out with their trendy printed fabrics. Butterflies, rockets, stars, etc.: raw vegetables look so much more appetizing in these bags! We also love the KidsMe pouches that can be filled with fruit purée or yogurt at will and easily go from baby's diaper bag to the oldest's lunch box!
No more disposable juice boxes! The Juice in the Box container from Drink in the Box is reusable (dishwasher safe) and can be used to pour juice, milk or flavored water. A timeless classic.
For a hassle-free routine
For toddlers starting kindergarten or older elementary school children who are "almost" late for the bus stop, the motivation calendar comes to their rescue.
The trick: choose a calendar where the child can choose a small reward at the end of the week, like the one called “My daily routine” and its round magnets from the Quebec company Minimo motivation ludique .
Where to start learning a routine? With sleep, of course! Since toddlers haven't yet acquired the concept of time, they can count on the help of Sam the sheep and the Zazu clock to get up in good shape for daycare.
Psst! The clock also promotes bedtime routine and sleep!
A source of comfort
Back to school is not just about school! Returning to daycare or arriving at a new daycare is also an important step for toddlers. They may be anxious, stressed or even refuse to go.
To support your child in their development, it is important to reassure them and offer them comfort. Taking their favorite comfort blanket or teddy bear with them is a way for them to calm down, soothe themselves and reassure themselves alone. Our choice: the Little Unicorn cotton muslin blanket, which will provide comfort from 0 to 5 years old (and sometimes more!).
A totally cool wardrobe!
Because son and daughter have "grown up" again this summer, shopping also involves a trip to the clothing and accessories department. For chilly mornings, little ones will love the cozy jacket from the Noppies collection. The best part: it's reversible. Doubly practical!
The Quebec L&P collection is a favorite of children and parents alike: cat-print sweaters, caps, cozy toques, infinity scarves: sometimes, just one accessory is enough to add style and personalize your outfit!
Finally, the essential back-to-school accessory is undoubtedly the choice of a backpack. Sturdy enough to hold all the school supplies, but well adjusted to his size, the backpack is also adorned with the trendiest patterns of the season. Those of the Herschel brand also match the pencil case! Who said that back-to-school was boring? ;-)
Happy back to school!
