One of the lovely things about Montessori school is the absence of a "classroom supplies" list. I am not running around last minute trying to stock an entire grade level with glue sticks, washable markers and disinfecting wipes. Awesome.
The few items we did want to purchase were a new book bag {his old one had a tear}, a matching lunchbox, a water bottle, a second sandwich box, and a small soup thermos.
Buby coveted a bright dino theme for kindergarten and personally requested the Stephen Joseph book bag above. Last Fall, if you remember, we went with a very similar S.J. snakes motif. There was no convincing about Lands' End or L.L. Bean. Trust me. He likes what he likes.
Luckily I found the right bag-box combo on a site called The Crazy Dazy. The stegosaurus drinking bottle is Crocodile Creek, and we stumbled upon it at a random shoe store. It was overpriced but completely irresistible. Our personalized labels are from Canadian vendor Mabel's Labels, and we couldn't be happier with those. We chose a teeny tiny dinosaur illustration for each one.
Now all we need is a short thermos for all the upcoming soup and stew days. I'm having the hardest time finding one in store... any suggestions? I do like the insulated jar here. Is that dino overload? Oh, whatever. Buby is so excited!
