The autumn term has already started, but you might not have had enough time to organise everything you need yet. If your child has started preschool or reception, it can be difficult to know what\u2019s needed for the start of school. So, we\u2019ve put together a checklist of things to make the start of school easier and more fun. We also have some exciting new products to share.<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great ideas for the start of school<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you search online for a school-start checklist, you\u2019re sure to get lots of good tips on \u201cmust have things\u201d for the start of school. But in addition to the school bag, gym bag, sportswear, waterproofs and wellies, there are many other things that can help make the start of school extra fun and special for your child. We\u2019ve listed some of our old favourites and new additions that are fun, personal, and useful for little school starters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New! Reflective vests with your own text<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Getting safely to and from school is one of the most important things! At the moment, the afternoons are still bright, but it won\u2019t be long (unfortunately) before the days start getting shorter and the mornings and evenings darker. A reflective vest is the best way to keep your child safe and seen, whether they\u2019re walking or cycling to school. And, as usual with school things, it\u2019s important to label all the children\u2019s things so that they don\u2019t get lost. So, it\u2019s especially good that you can now put your child\u2019s name, nickname, or any other text you fancy on their reflective vest<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personalised Gym Bag<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Is your little one going to the big school for the first time or does your nephew love gymnastics? With this personalised gym bag <\/a>they\u2019ll be more excited than ever to get active. Put their name or photo on this bag and they\u2019ll never lose it again, what a way to stand out. Go sports!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

New! Even more friends!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A special friend can be a real comfort when everything is new. These  cuddly animals <\/a>are available in several different varieties, including this super-cute rabbit and fox. What\u2019s more, they come wearing a nice sweater with your choice of picture and\/or text printed on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>
\n

Extra clothes, water bottles, caps, hats and mittens. The list of things kids need for school gets longer and longer! Make it easy for yourself and pack everything in a spacious  shopping bag<\/a>. What\u2019s great is that you can put a photo and your child\u2019s name on the bag.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The perfect snack pot!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Some schools like parents to pack a healthy snack to help keep little one\u2019s energy levels up through the morning. At Smartphoto, there are several different varieties of  lunchboxes<\/a> that are perfect for this. Just cut up some apple wedges or similar and put them in the lunchbox before packing them off to school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make homework more fun<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Be sure to provide an inviting space in the home for homework. Equip your chosen space with  things to make homework easier and more fun. For example, this deskpad<\/a> or maybe a pen holder<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surprise them with a little gift!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Make the start of school more fun with a small gift to take to school. For example, a neat pencil cas<\/a>e<\/a> or your own  notepad<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
