7 Awesome New Water Bottles for Back to School

When it comes to keeping your little one going throughout the school day proper nutrition and hydration are key. Last week I told you about my favorite lunchboxes for kids they are all both cool looking and practical. Today I am going to share my favorite water bottles for kids. A water bottle is a really key component for lunchboxes because they can be filled to the brim with a healthy beverage like water, milk, or diluted natural juice. In many cases, children access their water bottle throughout the school day (in addition to lunch time) to stay hydrated, and maybe even use it during sports practice. For these reasons it is important to choose a water bottle wisely. Durability is, obviously, a key factor since kids often knock and throw their backpacks about in school. It is also important that the bottle is easy to seal to prevent leakage, and easy to drink out of. Certain bottles are insulated for the purpose of keeping beverages cold throughout the day, while others are clear and wont really retain cold or warmth at all. Choose one that best fits your childs lifestyle and enjoy the start to the school year!

  Camelbak Kids Bottles

  My daughter has one of these bottles and we love it. It is clear so it is not ideal for insulating drinks, but the snap top spot makes it easy to open and close. The loop at on the top also makes it ideal for hanging in lockers or off backpacks. The specially designed stem seals of if a person is not drinking from it which is ideal for leak prevention. It retails for $13.00.
