Getting ready for back to school

August 26, 2018 by Jenni 10 Comments

PR Sample

 

Lucas isn’t going to school until September 2019 but he can’t wait and keeps telling us he will be in big school soon. If yours are going back to school over the next couple of weeks or you need a new lunch bag for pre school or nursery, have a nosy below x

 

back to school collage of bags

Spearmark ticks all of the practicality boxes with things like long handles and straps; wipe-clean material and name tags, whilst the quality insulated interior keeps sandwiches, snacks and fruit fresh, tasty till lunch. Building on Spearmark’s original best-selling satchel design, this year’s range includes four mini backpack styles in funky shimmers and glitters with cute finishing touches including stars and fluffy pompoms. A pretty gold/pink star design is available as a satchel or cross body option, whilst the long handles on the sports range are ideal for slinging across the body when the kids are rushing out the door to school! They are also affordable, starting at £6 in Sainsbury’s

 

back to school, 5 different coloured water bottles

Cool Gear water bottle, encourage the children to cut down on single use plastic by giving them their own water bottle. They can choose the colour and these are available in 5 colours, currently on offer for £3 at Sainsbury’s. They have a freezer stick inside, Simply twist the freezer stick off the cap and place in a freezer for at least four hours. Reattach it and fill your bottle with a drink. The freezer gel will keep the drink cooler for longer.

 

back to school

Office Stationary have an abundance of glues, desk accessories, pens and pencils, exercise books and activities for extra curricular activities at home too. If you need anything for crafts, or plastic coins to practice maths, learning to tell the time or another language, there really is an fab selection for pre schoolers or those further on in school.

 

back to school

With the lunch bag covered above with Spearmark, I love Skip Hop backpacks as they have 29 designs including llama, unicorn, butterfly, bat, monkey and hedgehog. They have a mesh side pocket that adjusts to fit a juice box, sippy cup or water bottle. The front pouch is ideal for snacks and includes extra pockets for pencils and other travel necessities. Comfy padded straps go easy on little shoulders!

    Fab ideas… This year I will have 4 out of 5 in school. It’s cost us a fortune! Haha!

    I don’t want them to go back to school.
