Back to School for Toddlers
A new beginning full of small, big adventures. Is your toddler going to playgroup, daycare, or almost to primary school for the first time? With their own backpack, lunchbox, and drinking cup, this special step becomes even more fun. Discover everything for a good start.
What does a toddler need for school?
What exactly your toddler needs varies per playgroup or daycare. A small backpack with spare clothes, a drinking cup, and a lunchbox are almost always useful. Is your child not yet potty-trained? Then ask if you also need to provide diapers and wipes. Inquire in advance with the daycare about what is already available and what you need to bring yourself.
A toddler backpack for small adventures
Their own toddler backpack gives your child a proud and familiar feeling. Choose a lightweight backpack that fits comfortably and is large enough for food, drinks, spare clothes, and a favorite stuffed animal. With adjustable shoulder straps, the backpack will grow a bit with your toddler.
A lunchbox and drinking cup for toddlers
Time for fruit, a sandwich, or a treat. In a lunchbox, all snacks stay neatly together. Also choose a drinking cup that your toddler can easily open and close themselves and that seals well, so the backpack stays dry.
Combine a lunchbox, drinking cup, and backpack in the same design. This way, your child will easily recognize their own school supplies and everything will go together as a nice set.
How do you prepare a toddler for the first day?
Tell your toddler in advance what to expect and talk positively about playing, crafting, and making new friends. Look at the backpack together, practice with the lunchbox, and let your child open the drinking cup themselves. A picture book about going to school can help to make the new situation recognizable.
Lay out the school supplies together the evening before. This provides peace of mind and makes the countdown to the first day extra special.
When does a toddler go to primary school?
In the Netherlands, a child can go to primary school from the age of four. From three years and ten months, your child can often come for a few days to get used to it. Compulsory education starts at five years of age. Dutch Youth Institute
Until then, your toddler can go to a playgroup or toddler daycare. For this too, a recognizable backpack, a nice drinking cup, and their own lunchbox are useful companions.
Ready for a new step
From the first morning at playgroup to getting used to primary school: every new step deserves good preparation. Choose favorite school supplies together and make back to school a moment to look forward to.
