back to school: already fill your book bag 🎒🍎

1.book bag or backpack?

The first thing to consider is whether to choose a book bag or a backpack. Both have their advantages:

• book bag: ideal for children in elementary school. They usually have multiple compartments, allowing your child to keep his or her belongings organized. The sturdy design ensures that books and notebooks stay neat and tidy.
• Backpack: backpacks tend to be lighter and more flexible, making them ideal for preschoolers. They are easy to carry and come in a variety of fun prints and colors, such as those from Sticky Lemon or Trixie.

Tip " for preschoolers, a backpack is often more practical because it is easier to put on and take off by yourself. For older children, choose a book bag with multiple compartments so they can store their belongings conveniently 🎒.

2.pay attention to the size and weight

Make sure the book bag or backpack is not too big or heavy for your child. A book bag that is too large can be uncomfortable and cause back pain . A well-fitting book bag should be no wider than your child's shoulders and should be comfortable on the back.

Tip " also check the weight of the bag when it is filled. The total weight of the book bag including contents should be no more than 10-15% of your child's body weight.

3.healthy snacks and lunch

A school day can be long, so make sure your child has plenty of healthy snacks and lunch with them. Reusable storage boxes are a must here!🍴 Think about:

• fruit boxes 🍊 small enough to fit in the book bag, but large enough for a serving of fruit.
• snack boxes 🍪 for cookies or other snacks, with a lid that your child can easily open by himself.
• lunch box 🍱 choose a lunch box with multiple compartments to keep different types of food separate.

Tip " make sure the boxes are leak-proof and that your child can open and close them easily. This prevents accidents and ensures that your child can access his or her food without help from others.

4.drinking bottle

Hydration is important! Choose a water bottle that suits your child. You have a variety of materials to choose from:

• plastic bottles: lightweight and often equipped with a drinking spout that is easy to open.
• thermal bottles: keep drinks cold or hot and do not absorb odor. Ideal for both summer and winter

Remember " choose a drinking bottle that fits well in the book bag and does not leak. Some bottles have convenient drinking spouts or straws that make drinking easier for younger children.

5.name labeling

It is inevitable that sometimes something gets lost at school. By labeling all items with a name tag, you increase the chances of everything coming back to you 😉 This goes for the book bag, but also for the lunchbox, water bottle, coats and even shoes. A key chain with name or embroidery on the book bag are nice to avoid misunderstandings!

6.safety on the way to school

Of course, your child's safety is priority number one. Therefore, consider:

• fluorescent vests: make sure your child is always highly visible, especially during the dark months. There are trendy fluorescent vests available that perfectly match your child's style without compromising on the fashionable look.
• lights on the book bag: some book bags, such as those from Jeune Premier, offer the option of adding lights . This provides extra visibility.
• Bicycle helmet: if your child rides a bicycle to school, a good bicycle helmet is essential.
• car seat: make sure you have a safe car seat when you take your child to school by car.

7.extras for a flawless start

Finally, be sure to include the following in your preparations:

• tissues: for minor accidents or dirty hands.
• spare set of clothes in a bag: especially for younger children, in case something gets dirty or wet.
• doudou and pamper in case of sleep class
• a snack for in the shelter
• sun hat or sunscreen in good weather
