A book bag provides your child with a place to store his personal and private possessions during the school day. It also enables your child to easily transport his belongings between home and school.
While most preschoolers are required to be potty trained before starting class, some children still have occasional accidents. A change of clothing is also beneficial in case of crafting stains or lunch spills.
Glue is one of the most basic art supplies that children will use almost every day. Both liquid glue and glue sticks are used in preschool crafts, such as making cards, using glitter or creating a layered project.
Preschoolers should have a supply of crafting paper or construction paper for class. Some teachers also want children to bring regular notebook paper, but most crafts require the thickness that construction paper provides.
Anti-bacterial hand wipes or baby wipes allow your child to quickly wash his hands or any surface he spills something on. Wipes are also frequently used for cleaning small stains off shirts and during lunch time.
Crayons and makers are used daily for drawing and making crafts. They are also used to teach older preschoolers to begin writing the alphabet and their names.
Each preschooler should keep a few facial tissues in his bag in case he needs to sneeze or wipe his nose. You can buy travel-sized tissue paper at the store or just pack a few tissues in a zippered plastic bag.
Each child should have at least one large plastic bag in case he has a potty-training accident at school or soils his clothing during craft time. The plastic bag will prevent the dirty clothes from dirtying his backpack until he gets home.
