The First day of School 5!

The First day of school 5 Five tips for preparing kids to go back to school

1. Before school starts, begin your back to school routine:

Routines can take a little while to get used to especially after the long summer break. Starting your routine a week or two before school starts will ensure a seamless transition into back to school mode. This includes scheduled dinner times if possible, “Homework time”; before school this can just be some educational games, 30 minutes of play time, bath, story time and finally bedtime ( this is just an example) all families are different but find what works for you and stick to it. The sooner you get this routine down the better.

2. Read some books about School.

This can differ depending on the age of your child. I find that when I read themed books to Brandon for birthdays and holidays he gets excited for the day, so this should work for school too!

These are some of my recommendations for books

Amelia Bedelia’s First day of school $8.99 (Hard cover) pick it up HERE

Clifford’s First School Day $2.79,Pick it up HERE

Appleville Elementary #1:First day $4.99, Pick it up HERE

Ready Freddy # 13: One Hundred days of school $5.99, Pick it up HERE

Black Lagoon Adventured#13: Back to school fright from the black lagoon $3.99, Pick it up HERE

p.s Scholastic has a back to school sale going on! USE COUPON CODEBTS2515 For 25% off

3. Make school supplies shopping fun There are tons of sales right now for cool back packs, themed stationary etc.

My Brandon loves trains as you may already know, so I got these cool items from the MTA Museum store HERE

 Get the back pack HERE its on sale !

4. Label everything!

I hope I'm not alone when I say that when I spend money on things I hate when my son comes back from school and it's nowhere to be found, or when my son comes back with another child's item, I feel for the label-less mom.

You can get these super cool water proof dish washer proof stick on labels from inch bug. Brandon started daycare at just 10 weeks old, so I was the crazy mom with labels and lists and instructions and I used some of these labels to put on his pacifier and on his bottles. If you don't want to use the sticky labels they also offer these orbit labels that you can put around baby bottles, sippy cups and regular cups. The I'm telling you it's totally worth it. They have some pre-printed names or if you have a less common name you can create your own!

You can get adhesive labels HERE (thank me later) http://www.inchbug.com

Or Orbit label’s HERE

5. Lunch shopping Many schools offer lunch, but some kids either don't like the lunch or like a little something extra.

Take some time the week before school starts and get your grocery list in order to include back to school snacks that your child will love.

For me that's • Sandwich supplies •Tomatoes •Cheddar fish •Fruit snacks •Crackers •Water

Make this easier for you by getting a Bento style lunch box for your little one, this keeps everything neat and easy to portion and package. You can get one HERE.

  Hope some of these tips helped, I would love to hear how you prepare for back to school. Leave a comment or email me your first day of school 5!
