Here is an expert commentary from education expert Renee Rosales M.Ed. Founder and CEO of Theara:<\/p>\n

Staying hydrated is essential for cognitive function, memory, and wellbeing. A reusable water bottle is really helpful for this. It acts as a visual prompt to remind students to drink water, and also means they always have access to hydration. I really recommend the Contigo range of water bottles. The Contigo Cortland is excellent. It is BPA free, dishwasher safe, and comes in a variety of colors. It is high-quality, durable, and, most importantly, leak proof. Even after significant use, the Autoseal technology and button lock remain fully functional. The clip-on handle means that it can easily attach to bags and rucksacks, plus it fits the majority of car cupholders. I also like that it has measurement markings to help track fluid intake. This is especially helpful for those who are prone to being easily distracted and forgetting to drink enough. This reusable water bottle is hygienic, practical, and environmentally friendly, making it perfect for school, college, and travel.

Minecraft Lunchbox<\/p>\n

As the best-selling video game of all time – there is no debate over whether kids love Minecraft.<\/p>\n

The game has over 100 million monthly active players, and has been acclaimed by critics and educators alike (the game has been praised for the creative freedom and skills it can teach children!).<\/p>\n

So, it’s no surprise that there\u2019s lots of Minecraft merch on the market. This Minecraft lunchbox is small, compact, and fun – perfect!
\n\u2022 Minecraft Green and Black lunchbox, \u00a35.99 – buy from OnBuy<\/p>\n

Hype x L.O.L Surprise Queen Bee Lunchbox<\/p>\n

If there are any dolls on the market which rival the iconic Barbie in popularity, it\u2019s L.O.L Surprise.<\/p>\n

Debuted in 2016, L.O.L Surprise was initially launched as a range of dolls in opaque packaging, so you never knew which one was inside!<\/p>\n

Fast forward to 2022, and there\u2019s a L.O.L Surprise feature film, music album, countless ranges of toys and dolls, and affiliated merch.<\/p>\n

This L.O.L Surprise lunchbox has been created in collaboration with Hype – one of the UK\u2019s most iconic backpack companies. Bright, loud, and eye-catching – this lunch box is perfect for any L.O.L Surprise fan.

Star Wars Water Bottle<\/p>\n

If there\u2019s one movie that has stood the test of time, it\u2019s Star Wars. Children in 2022 continue to be enthralled by the franchise – almost 50 years after it first screened.<\/p>\n

And with water consumption boosting mental performance and energy levels, it\u2019s important for your child to have a good bottle to take to school with them.<\/p>\n

Combine your child\u2019s Star Wars obsession with their need to drink water (around two litres per day, according to the experts), with this brilliant Stormtrooper-themed bottle.
\n\u2022 Star Wars Stormtrooper Water Bottle, \u00a311.82 – buy from OnBuy<\/p>\n

Harry Potter Stationery Set<\/p>\n

While Harry Potter doesn\u2019t quite have the longevity of Star Wars, when it comes to popularity with the younger generation, it\u2019s definitely level-pegging.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why your child is sure to love this 12-item Harry Potter stationery set, which comes complete with pencils, a pen, ruler, sharpener and more.

Motion Nutrition has developed an all natural, vegan and gluten free sleep powder, the first sleep support of its kind for children aged 4 plus.

Joe Welstead, CEO Motion Nutrition comments
\n\u2018Unplug for adults is the most awarded natural sleep aid in the UK. Unplug was inspired by my own personal journey to a better nights sleep, when I was competing as a performance athlete I struggled.

Launching Unplug Kids Bedtime – formulated for children to help support their sleep and development<\/p>\n

Motion Nutrition is pleased to announce the launch of Unplug Kids Bedtime. Created due to unprecedented demand from users of Unplug, the leading natural sleep supplement for adults.

The oat-based powdered formula is packed with the good stuff to ensure it supports your child\u2019s sleep as well as development.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Chamomile, Lemon Balm and Saffron are included to sooth, helping them wind down at bedtime.
\n\u00b7 Vitamin D and K is added to help normal growth and development of your kid\u2019s bones.
\n\u00b7 Vitamin D also supports a strong and healthy immune system.
\n\u00b7 Magnesium is included to help the normal function of your kid\u2019s nervous system.<\/p>\n

All this comes in a flavour free oat-based powder, which can easily be hidden at dinnertime in mashed potato or banana or mixed into a smoothie or glass of warm milk. Each pack includes a wonderful bedtime story, and through a QR code children can listen to the adventures of Sam the Sloth whilst they relax before bed.<\/p>\n
