Oh I can remember the day like it was yesterday yet one year has come and gone and soon our big girl is attending her second year of Kindergarten. I still can not believe how smooth everything went. She loved it from day one and missed everyone and everything dearly when there are holidays.
We have celebrated the day cause I believe in making milestones memorable and this was definitely a big one (maybe more for me and my husband than for her).
First Day of Kindergarten Celebration
I decorated our living room with a big balloon garland (how else would it be) and a cute colorful garland. Also I have made a sign and a chart I got printed for her table setup. Both templates have been from etsy (dancer chart here and first day of Kindergarten sign here). The sign also doubled as a photo prop.
Our main color theme was pink here so I opted for a pink gingham table cloth. Worked very well and gave it a picnic and coffee like setting. As far as treats go – her grandma made a gorgeous unicorn cake and I have added blondies with pink frosting and letter sugar cookies in the shape of an E with colorful sprinkles. The cookie cutter is from amazon and you can find it here.
Kindergarten Must-Haves Tried and True
Since one year has gone by we definitely had more than enough time to try-out all of the things we got for Kindergarten. So I am sharing everything I bought for her and my honst opinion about it.
Snacking
There are a million different boxes out there but ultimately I went with these. They are available in 9 different colors and have 5 compartments and a place for a fork or spoon. It also comes with a little tin where you can put in yoghurt for example. I love this snack box very much. I cleans well in the dishwasher and it has never spilled.
Additionally I have gotten these little silcone muffin tins for fruit, cheese cubes or any other little thing plus these little animal forks. Emilia doesn´t like dirty/sticky hands so these came in very handy. I still have the majority of them cause I just throw them in the dishwasher.
They do not need a bottle to drink from cause the Kindergarten offers mugs and beverages so there is no need to get extra of those.
Backpack and more
If you have been following for some time you know my love for all things Reisenthel. We have shopper bags, weekender, diaper bags, cooler bags and shopping baskets and now Emilia has a Kindergarten backpack with a matching gym bag.
Now our girl loves sparkling things so I have gotten her pink glitter flats for her gym bag.
