Face mask for kids

Face mask is the first thing that the kids need as the preventive measure for COVID-19 requires everyone to wear face mask in public places. However, because children’s faces are so small, adult face mask couldn’t fit well on their faces. It’s too loose for the kids and cause them feeling uncomfortable. Designed specifically for children, 3D design face mask is the best choice as it’s breathable, and the ear loops are soft and not too tight. So, it’s an ideal face mask that the kids should wear to school for self-protection.

Alcohol spray

Alcohol spray is another item that your kids should take with them as it keeps them away from germs and bacteria. Our recommendation is selecting a small and portable alcohol spray bottle so the kids can use it conveniently. Another thing you should take into account is that the alcohol concentration should be at least 70%, and the item should contain nourishing ingredients to keep delicate skin of the kids healthy while providing effective protection from the virus.

Cleansing wipes

In addition to alcohol, wet wipes or cleansing wipes should be prepared as the children can easily get dirty after joining classroom activities. Wet wipes or cleansing wipes can be used to keep the kids as well as the supplies away from bacteria and impurities once they finish with the activities. It’s advisable to select hypoallergenic wet-wipe products for the kids. This way, the young children can stay clean and protect themselves effectively.

Toothbrush and toothpaste set

A continued practice of good oral hygiene is important in early childhood. Teeth brushing becomes a daily routine among school children. At school, the children are encouraged to brush their teeth after lunchtime. So, a toothbrush and toothpaste set should be prepared for them. The best toothpaste should contain an appropriate level of fluoride. The toothbrush size should be small enough to fit in the children’s mouths. If possible, you should select a dental care set consisting toothbrush, toothpaste, and a box to keep them clean and ready to use. The dental care set including a glass would be perfect for the kids to take to school.

Drinking water

The hotter the weather is, the more water your body needs. You should insist your kids to drink enough water to meet the daily requirement. Drinking water helps regulate and promote functions of the kid’s body system so that they work more effectively. Drinking water containing a great number of minerals is highly recommended to add more essential nutrients like minerals to the body in addition to keeping the kids feeling fresh and cool. So, a bottle of drinking water with minerals is another back-to-school essential for the kids that you shouldn’t forget.

T-shirt

Kids always love to explore. And the more they enjoy exploring, the dirtier the kids themselves and their clothes get. You should pack their bag with a t-shirt so they can change at school and are ready to explore the world and take part in activities without worrying about stains on the clothes. It would be even better if the t-shirt is waterproof and stain proof. This way, you don’t have to put much effort to clean and care for the t-shirt. T-shirt is an ideal item for both parents and the kids, so don’t forget to put it into the kid’s backpack to school.

Hat

Even though sunlight doesn’t sound frightening for the kids, the extreme heat from the sun can make them sick. So, a hat is considered a back-to school essential for them. This item enables the kids to enjoy all the activities without worrying about the sunlight and the heatwave. Hat with brim is highly recommended as it provides more protection from the sunlight. You can also select a colorful hat that goes perfectly with their students’ costume. This would simply make your kids a young fashionista!
