(HIGHLY) Recommended School Items♪♪

Preschool is a wonderful time for kids. New friends, new teachers, new experiences, and of course NEW STUFF!

School Supplies for Pre-school

Having the right school supplies will make your child (and their teachers!) very happy. All of our recommended items come after YEARS of extensive testing in our classrooms. All of the items are extremely easy for kids to use BY THEMSELVES which leads to growing independence and a sense of accomplishment for your child.

When kids have school gear that is hard to use, they can get frustrated and feel stress. Imagine if you were just learning how to do something (like putting your shoes on) and then you had really complicated shoes to put on. It would not be fun.

Recommended Items for Preschool: ¥1,240 - ¥4,860

Nike Kids Sneakers Dynamo Free
Nike's Dynamo Free shoes have a slip-on shoe opening and its Phylon midsole and outsole creates the feeling of being barefoot. This easy to wear and take off shoe is great for building independence and confidence in children.

Thermos Vacuum Insulated Straw Bottle
This cold-only vacuum insulated bottle has a built-in straw, making it easy for children to drink out of. Ice can also be added through its wide mouth and the entire bottle can be washed, which makes it a hygienic bottle. The one-touch, straw type bottle is great for all ages, but especially for our 2-year old Caterpillar students because they can drink by themselves without worrying about spilling.

Children's Skater Trio Set
The spoon, fork, and chopsticks lunch set is dishwasher friendly and easy to slide open. The shock resistant and durable structure makes it safe for children to use.

Ok it's quiz time!!!
