In this post I am sharing what I pack for Jett’s preschool. Whether your child is in daycare, a Mother’s Day Out, Kids day out, or half day preschool program…I have some tips to help!

Jett was enrolled in a 2 day a week program initially, but the week before school started we got the call there was a spot opening up in the 4 day a week program. With our career changes we jumped at the opportunity to have some extra help!

It was definitely emotional at first, since Jett’s whole life he has been with us 24/7 the first 18 months of his life! But after the first week I feel so much better about it and I know he is having so much fun and getting to socialize.

Here’s what I pack:

• Backpack (size Small)

• Lunch bag – fits inside the backpack

• Lunch box

• Nap mat

• Water bottle

Lunch

I bought 2 lunch boxes in case I ever am short on time I always have an extra to pack if the other needs washed. We have this lunch box in blue and green. We have used it now for 3 months and I would recommend it. My only complaint is the rubber on top needs extra scrubbing to get stuff off.

I am an extra mom and love packing Jett’s lunch and making it fun! Add some sprinkles or chocolate chips, some fun animal or eyeball picks, or a sweet note 🙂

I try to include healthy foods for the most part, but always something I KNOW that he will eat so he isn’t hungry. He has gotten a bit picky lately with what he eats but I can always count on him eating fruit, greek yogurt or fruit snacks.

I pack these on-the-go silverware that comes with a case!

I have a board on Pinterest where I pin different lunch ideas, then look at that for inspiration when I’m making my grocery pick up list for the week. I try to include an item from each food group.

Jett has been loving his preschool and I am loving having some more time to get more work done!
