Waldorf - Danish - inspired back to school clothing & gear recs
School is up and running! Just today, the temperature’s high is a lovely 65 Fahrenheit- first time since spring that it’s not supposed to be hot. Exhilarating! If your toddler or kindergartener is back at school and you need some ideas for basics and gear that are reliable and euro-inspired, this post is for you!
Baby fall gear tips can be found at the end for the littlest ones.
Cooler weather also means one has to take stock of clothing, supplies, gear and the likes. Our toddler has started school three mornings a week, and is outside for a large chunk (if not all) of it. The calls for extra clothing sets and changes of clothes! I’ve come across a brand I really like for organic cotton basics. This is the type of outfit set you can get in Denmark, but they sell on Maisonette or Amazon.
Toddler & Kindergarten gear & clothing ideas for school:
basic shirt sets from Butterblu - this cute five pack comes in many colors, sleeve length, etc! My toddler eats lunch at school and those lovely Waldorf soup cause stains that are near-impossible to get out, so something economical and easy is the way to go.
Check out their socks as well, we’ve purchased these for the baby and toddler and they’re super grippy & organic cotton too
A bug net if there are gnats in your area
Sturdy sun hats - this brand has held up for two years so far - both my older children use them and I always feel like they have the best sun protection with these (as opposed to a more stylish baseball cap)
Our favorite mineral sunscreen - no white residue
This name stamper is fabulous and I got stickers with them to pop on water bottles etc.
Where do we snag the cutest kid clothing that we don’t necessarily send them to school in?
Babyshop (still ships to USA but beware the tariffs and duties, good for a snowsuit or rainsuit that’ll last two years etc). Smallable (same issue!) Misha and Puff. Mini Rodini. Reima. Konges Sløjd (personal fave). Wheat. Zara. All of these have USA shops!
If you’re in Denmark (lucky you) - when we’re there we stock up on basics from Name It, and the kids brand called Friends which you can find in the big Qvikly department/grocery stores. Love their wool under layers, and basic cotton outfits!
More coming soon ! Happy first week of fall 🍂
