meal prep
I can't tell you how many kid's water bottles I've tried. They leak, get moldy, smell, have way to many parts, etc. This is the BEST, I've found so far. No straw, just 2 big parts (plus a bumper) to throw in the dishwasher and you're done.
b.box Sport Spout Kids Water Bottle
These lunch boxes are so practical, I have 4 of them! Dishwasher safe, just 2 parts so you don't have to dis- and reassamble daily. I like the simple colorways as well.
b.box Mini Leak Proof Kids Bento Box
I find this size of lunch bag size to be great for primary school kids. Works great with the b.box lunchbox too and you still have a small space for a bar or juice box. Just FYI if your school requires long straps on lunch bags, this one doesn't have it, short handle only.
LEGO Kids Classic Lunch Box
Great snack box for kids! This one was the first that i've tried from this brand and i got hooked!
b.box Snack Box
drugstore
I've repurchased this exactly 8x already. Kids love it too and happy to take it daily. Love that it comes in different simple flavors.
Renzo's Kids Multivitamin with Iron
Absolute game changer! If your kids fight you too when applying sunscreen (or just about anything) to their face this will change your life! They might even apply it themselves. I always keep one in my bag when we're out.
Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Kids Sunscreen Stick
We’ve been using this on my son’s dry sensitive skin. I like this in the summer to melt away sunscreen, and for winter dryness too. Also works great as a shaving cream alternative!
Atoderm Shower Oil - Ultra-nourishing for Dry Skin
We use this daily during the winter to keep their cheeks and lips moisturized an protected. I use it in the morning before heading out the door, and before bed too if necessary. Kids tolerate this much better than a liquid or cream.
The Fatty Moisture Stick
I've tried just about every kid's sunscreen for sensitive skin. This it the only one that protects well and doesn't itch. You'll need an oil based body wash to remove it completely, but well worth it. This will be my 6th year using it all summer!
Thinkbaby SPF 50+ Sunscreen
Our derm suggested this for extra sensitive/atopic skin and works great. Absorbs quickly, no fragrance, not sticky.
Vanicream Moisturizing Skin Cream Pump
This is a very good option for traveling when you don’t want to bring all the chargers and cables etc for the heavy duty toothbrush.
Colgate Kids Battery Toothbrush, Ages 3+
I like this one a lot for kids. Especially if they start loosing their teeth, it's so important to keep their new little teeth clean.
Oral-B iO Kids Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush
Between one kid biting their nails, and the other being a thumb-sucker for years, we used this a lot. Little goes a long way and it's VERY bitter (yes, I've tried it). Comes off with soapy water, so they don't have to suffer through their meals thoug...
Nail Quail Anti-Nail Biting Click Pen
Flushable, thick enough, gentle. It just works. I usually get the rose scent or shea-coco

clothing
Hands down the best kids socks! It never slides off, washes well and the grip dots stay on in the washer/dryer. I usually buy the solid white pack so it's easy to wash in bulk.
ZAPLES Non Slip Grip Crew Socks
And this is the one we use for winter. A little thicker at the base, warmer and longer. Again, all white socks for washing convenience.
