Back to school essentials

A good start to the day begins with little things that feel familiar and easy to manage. The Done by Deer back to school collection brings together practical favourites for daycare, preschool and school, from kids’ backpacks and lunch boxes to drinking bottles, snack boxes, insulated lunch bags and pencil cases.

The collection is made for busy mornings, packed lunches and everyday adventures. Soft colours, playful prints and familiar Deer friends help create a sense of comfort for your child, while practical details make it easier for parents to pack, organise and prepare for the day ahead.

practical favourites for daycare, preschool and school

Back to school is not only about new gear. It is also about helping your little one feel ready, safe and confident in new surroundings. A favourite Deer friend on a backpack, bottle or lunch box can make everyday transitions feel more familiar, whether your child is taking the first steps into daycare or heading off to school.

Choose a small backpack for the first days away from home, a larger backpack for school essentials, or a lunch set that keeps food and snacks easy to organise.

What does a child need for daycare or school?

Most children benefit from a comfortable backpack, a lunch box or snack box, a drinking bottle and a few familiar details that make the day feel manageable. For older children, a pencil case or a larger backpack can help keep school items organised and easy to find.

Explore the Done by Deer back to school collection and find practical, playful essentials for packed lunches, little hands and everyday adventures with the Deer friends.
