We’ve been busy getting ready for back to school! Between us, we’re sending three young kids to school this year, and there’s tons to prepare for. But it’s certainly made easier by all of the necessities and great products that Well.ca is carrying for back to school.
Here are some of our back to school picks for this school year:
Backpacks
Lunch Bags
We’ll need lots of lunch storage for the school year ahead. And since we’re both interested in going green in all aspects of our lives, we’ll definitely be looking to stock up on litterless lunch essentials. Parkland’s Rodeo Lunch Kits match perfectly with Parkland Bayside backpacks. And we love that the outside zip pockets add extra room for snacks.
Another great option to match with the SoYoung backpack is the Aqua Bunny print lunch box. It’s fully insulated for keeping cold lunches fresh and hot lunches warm and yummy. Sugarbooger’s Ocean Lunch Tote is also a great option, as it’s fully waterproof so any spills won’t leak into their backpack. Erin bought this one two years ago and has used it over 700 times! It’s easy to open and has different sections for snacks and sandwiches.
Lunch Gear
For packing a litterless lunch, we’re looking to stock up on containers. Sugarbooger Good Lunch Snack Containers come in two different sizes and are key for different sized snacks. Sugarbooger also has meal boxes that fit inside their lunch bags, with room leftover for extra snacks or a drink. Erin’s daughter loves soup, and so the Crocodile Creek Butterfly Insulated Food Jar will be getting some heavy use come fall!
Kids Konserve has some nesting food containers that won’t take up too much space in our cupboards, and Lunchbots Trio Bento in Green Dots portions food perfectly for our kids. And Rebecca’s daughter loves the Monbento MB Tresor in Kiwi. It comes with interchangeable top token for personalization and it’s so cute — it’s no wonder she can’t wait to take it to school!
Snack Bags
Water Bottles
Another spill-proof bottle that’s also odor-proof and virtually indestructible is the Nalgene Grip-n-Gulp. So practical! But we both agree that the S’well Stainless Steel water bottle in Bikini Pink is too pretty a colour and design to ignore.
Snacks
Of course, our kids definitely have their favourites. They think that the MadeGood Strawberry Organic Granola Minis are a tasty treat, and we’re embarrassed to say just how many of Annie’s Homegrown Organic Cheddar Bunnies we go through!
Educational Toys
Getting our kids ready for school has been so much easier with Learning Resources’ All Ready for Kindergarten Readiness Kit. The activities are great for kids ages 4 to 6, so it’s a help even with Erin’s son. And Melissa and Doug’s Magnetic Responsibility Chore Chart has helped get our kids used to the structures that they’ll soon be taught in school.
Vitamins and Personal Care
Extras
