Gavin is going to Kindergarten! When I started ToyQueen.com, it was months before I even knew I was pregnant. Although the 3 years of preschool certainly seemed like an eternity, both he and I couldn’t be more ready for this new adventure. Even though he attends a school that requires a uniform, no-one is ever exempt from back to school shopping! There is certainly the excitement around a new backpack and lunchbox and in addition, he will need some outfits for those coveted “no uniform pass” days he’s diligently earned from his summer reading program.
We aren’t new to the Hanna Andersson brand, and I’ve been so impressed with the love and care that is woven into their fabrics at physical, emotional and sensory levels. From the moment a child wakes up in the morning to get dressed for their day, right up until they change into their “Hannajams” and snuggle up in bed on amazing sheets, children are greeted with soft, cozy materials that significantly reduce those “it doesn’t feel right” tantrums, making me one happy Hanna mama!
Hanna Andersson clothing is not only soft, but durable, even for the toughest players like Gavin, who can rip through a cheap pair of pants every single day. It might be weird, but often times his clothing is the key to momentous occasions. I remember what he wore on his first birthday, and each year it makes it easier to remember the gifts he got for Christmas, when I think about those unique pajamas he wore while chaotically opening packages. I learned that investing in quality fabrics makes me feel better when we can lovingly pass on his clothing and these memories to friends with younger children, just as my own friends have done for me.
Here are some of our favorite finds from our trip to Hanna Andersson.
For the boys, there are soft, long-sleeved t-shirts with bold, bright patterns and even fun Star Wars themed backpacks. The double knee jeans should hopefully stand the test of time with my active guy.
