Beautifully designed with a cute apple print, this water bottle from OYOY Living design is not just a stylish addition to their back to school kit. The clever functionality keeps liquids cool or warm for up to 12 hours.
Bobux
The podiatrist approved shoes from Bobux are a parent-favourite for first steps. The brand’s school range is just as thoughtfully designed, and made to withstand the wear-and-tear of the playground. There’s lots of designs to choose from and they come a size range of 27-33 (typically aged 4-8).
Rockahula
Cute kids accessories brand Rockahula has sets of hair accessories in school colours. If your little one doesn’t have to wear a uniform though, we love these glittery star clips. Perfect for bright sparks!
Djeco
Learning to tell the time is much more fun with a cute watch and we love this floral design from Djeco. It has two dials (one for hours, the other for minutes) and narrow hands to make telling the time easier.
