Every year, when school is about to start, the parenting blogs and parent groups on Social sites all talk about one thing: what children's clothes to choose for Pre School in Pune.
Whether you've already received a list of kindergarten clothes or are trying to find your inspiration online, don't panic. Things are not as complicated as they seem. A well-developed plan will help you navigate the hundreds of lists and recommendations you'll find online.
Here are a few suggestions that will help you organize better:
Store plan
Start by identifying the main categories of children's clothing that you will need during the school year. The easiest way is to plan the toddler clothes in layers that you can use separately or together, depending on the season.
Underwear
If your toddler is diaper-free, you should bring at least one extra pair of underpants for those unpleasant situations. It is preferable to use natural fabrics such as organic cotton, bamboo or modal. Depending on how often you plan to use your washing machine, you can calculate how many underpants you should buy.
For the winter, you should put some wool socks and stockings on the list. They will be priceless on freezing days or while playing in the snow.
The base layer
Whether it's a cardigan, t-shirt or long-sleeved undershirt, these items will play multiple roles, from spring to winter. You can use them as an outer layer in late winter and early fall. If the temperature drops, your child will wear them under thicker clothes while he or she is outside.
Their role is to absorb perspiration and keep body heat as close to the skin as possible. In this case, too, we recommend that you choose natural fabrics, such as organic cotton or wool. Since they are next to your toddler's skin, it is better to choose clothes that have not been chemically treated. For cotton, check the label and choose the fabrics with organic certification (such as GOTS – Global Organic Textile Standard – the highest fabric certification). This certification is a guarantee that all processes to which the cotton has been exposed, from seed to dust, are safe for the environment and people.
For the entire year of Nursery Schools in Pune, you can buy a few sets of blouses and leggings that your child will wear under the thicker clothes in class, or outside. Some moms recommend up to 10 sets; others think 4-5 is enough. You can determine the number based on how often you plan to wash and how naughty your child is. If your child is a miniature Picasso, you may want to make sure you have enough clothes so as not to limit his/her creativity.
The middle layer
The second layer can be used for extra warmth during the frosty days, but also as an outer layer during autumn or spring.
We recommend two or three must-buy items: a jumper/cardigan, a hood, and a cotton jumpsuit. The latter has the advantage of being easy to put on and keeping your little one warm everywhere.
The outer layer
This category usually confuses most parents. The online lists contain fall jackets, winter jackets, rain, and windproof jackets, each with suitable trousers. The budget is growing exponentially, your pulse is racing, and panic sets in. If you also take into account that a growing child only wears these items for a season, then you are already hyperventilating.
Of course you can buy a set of each category or, if you want to protect your budget and have some cash to spare for the winter holidays, you can find smart solutions to cover a wider range of situations.
The softshell has the advantage that it fulfills many roles: it retains the heat inside, is wind and water resistant, and allows the skin to breathe. Since softshell is a technical fabric, it is light and does not restrict the movement of the child. These clothes are also easy to clean, a bonus for those who love mud, sand or puddles. If you buy a softshell jumpsuit (or two, to have a spare jumpsuit), you can cover the entire cold season, including the wet or windy weather. You can put an extra layer or two under the jumpsuit and use it in winter too.
Shoes
For kindergarten you need a pair of comfortable indoor slippers. Those with flexible, non-slip soles and easy to put on are better for the little ones (The kids who are not used to tying their shoelaces really love the Velcro).
For outdoor activities, you should buy at least 3 pairs of shoes or light boots for the entire school year: a pair of shoes or light boots for the fall spring season; a pair of wellies, and a pair of snowshoes.
We do not recommend that you buy more than one type of shoe of the same number. Based on the child's age, their feet progress to the next size in 2 to 6 months.
Pay attention to the choice of shoe size. Measure the foot and follow the manufacturer's size chart. The dimensions may differ between the different brands.
Winter Accessories
Invest in a set of a hat, scarf, and gloves to cover all season (or, if you're lucky, even next winter). Choose warm fibers, such as merino wool, alpaca or cashmere. For the valves, choose organic cotton.
For babies, a balaclava may be a better investment as you don't have to buy a separate scarf.
Regardless of budget, age or experience, we hope the above list will help you create your own plan for this year's shopping.
