Back to School with Tyrrell Katz…
Tip 1: Buy back to school accessories early
Tip 2: Buy uniform at the last minute in case your child grows!
I always recommend buying back to school accessories early as it allows you to spread the cost over the summer months. Whether it’s lunchboxes, P.E. bags, pencil cases or school uniform the list can seem like a long one! But as kids don’t grow out of accessories like they do uniforms and clothes, I always aim to buy the accessories early and leave the uniform until the very last minute.
The Tyrrell Katz School Collection……
There are many reasons why I love Tyrrell Katz School stuff, and here are just a few:-
Funky Designs
Firstly and most importantly the designs that they have come up with are stunning. For girls they have ballet, princess, secret garden, elephants and horse designs whilst for boys they have cars, knights, working wheels, dinosaurs and pirates. For younger children the farm and jungle designs are also ideal. There’s just about something for everyone!
You can Mix or you can Match
Most kids will go wild for a matching backpack, lunch bag, drinks bottle and P.E. bag – and that’s where Tyrrell Katz come into their own. They specialise in matching accessories so if you want one design to be across all of the back to school accessories then their ranges are perfect for you. If however you want to mix designs up, you can do this also. The choice is yours. So if you want to have one design or a mix of designs, you can choose depending on your child.
They make Great School Bags
Back packs vs Satchels? Back packs are definitely the best type of school bag for children because they are much easier to carry and are much better at spreading the load across both shoulders. This makes them much safer for kids’ backs, shoulders and necks than the satchel or messenger bags, which put too much pressure on to just one shoulder. I only recommend you use back packs for young school children therefore. Why Tyrrell Katz? All Tyrrell Katz back packs are really well put together, having side pockets for drinks or snacks, adjustable padded shoulder straps for extra comfort and support, and an inner zip pocket for valuables. The inside of the back pack is also very spacious. If you combine all of these features with the funky designs then get a back pack that is functional and fun which all school children will be happy to carry into the playground at the start of next term. I cannot recommend them highly enough!
The P.E. and Kit Bags are hard wearing and durable
All children need some sort of drawstring bag for P.E. Tyrrell Katz Kit Bags are the perfect size for storing all of the stuff that your child will need and the strong durable materials mean that these bags can take a real battering without getting damaged. Strong stuff for strong kids – with funky matching designs as well!
Kids Lunch Boxes which are practical and well designed
Having a high quality, well designed lunch box is essential for kids who have packed lunches. Although you might be tempted to buy cheaper items, please remember that low quality lunch boxes are much more likely to break than the good quality ones and many are not fully insulated. A well designed, fully insulated lunch box will be well worth it and you can be sure of the quality and design of all of the Tyrrell Katz lunch bags. They only use the best materials and they have thought about lots of small details to make your kids life easier. Mesh pockets, full insulation to keep things cool and interiors which are easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth are just some of the things that make these lunch boxes better than many others. In addition, the clever name label feature on the back gets a thumbs up from me both as a parent and as a teacher. You can imagine how difficult it is for a teacher if three children all have the same lunch box but none of them have names on! How do you know which lunch box belongs to which child?
Their Kids Drinks Bottles are stunning to look at and are easy to use
During the school day, it’s very important to keep the kids hydrated and to encourage them to drink plenty of fluids. It’s also essential that they drink throughout the day and not just at lunch times. Good capacity leak proof bottles are therefore essential and will lead to happy children, dry school books, as well as preventing soggy sandwiches! And that’s exactly why I love the Tyrrell Katz range – their drinks bottles are big enough to hold a full day’s supply of water or juice, they are leak proof and secure – so no mishaps or accidents with water going everywhere. And the designs are fabulous too!
Fabulous Kids Pencil Cases
Tyrrell Katz also do a full range of pencil cases, which match the other accessories in the range. You can have everything that matches therefore and your child will be very proud of all of their stuff on the first day of the new term….
And finally ……
A Top Tip for School Swimming Lessons
If your child is going swimming with school in September, then the Tyrrell Katz towels are ideal. They look great, are the size of a normal bath towel and are super absorbent but compact. This means that they are easy for kids to carry, they fit perfectly in any swim/kit bag and will be certain to get the attention of all of the other kids as the designs are just magnificent. Super towels for super swimmers!
