Letting your child bring his own grooming kit in school is highly encouraged due to unforeseen incidents that might happen like spillage, excessive sweating after playing, etc.

Moms should know the basic items to be found in their child's grooming kit. All these could be placed in a shoe box or clear plastic box (if teachers want their pupils to leave them in their classroom) or expandable plastic envelope (if it is obliged to be brought home daily).

1 extra set of uniform

2 white shirt

3 undergarments

4 socks

5 handkerchief

6 face towel

7 tissue paper

8 wipes

9 alcohol/hand sanitizer

10 liquid soap

11 cologne

12 baby powder

13 mosquito repellent lotion/patch

14 comb

15 toothbrush

16 toothpaste

17 washable plastic bag for soiled clothes

How I Keep Them Organized

1 I place them in three separate zip lock plastic bags or small clear pouches per category before putting them inside the shoe box, clear plastic box, or expandable plastic envelope.

Category A (Clothing) extra set of uniform, white shirt, undergarments, socks, handkerchief, plastic bag for soiled clothes

Category B (for Washing) face towel, tissue paper, wipes, liquid soap

Category C (for Grooming) alcohol/hand sanitizer, cologne, baby powder, mosquito repellent lotion, comb, toothbrush, toothpaste

2 Choose travel size items for them not to consume too much space in your child's locker, cubbyhole, or school bag. Just remind your child to inform you when items are needed to be replenished.

3 Label all items with your child's name, grade, section, and school.

4 Tell your child to take care of his grooming kit by storing it properly and keeping items in their right pouches after each use.

5 Remind your child to bring home his soiled clothing if there's any. Don't forget to replace it the day after.

Optional Items

cologne, baby powder, mosquito repellent lotion/patch

I don't recommend cologne and baby powder for kids who have allergies or asthma. Mosquito repellent lotions/patches are for older children who are very attractive to mosquitoes like my son. Make sure that your child is responsible and old enough to know how to use them properly. Just to be safe, you may apply the lotion or place the patch on your child's clothing before he leaves.

Recommended Products

I recommend these products because they were "tried and tested" by yours truly and I found them very effective.

They are made from natural products that's why they are safe for kids. You may purchase them in leading department stores, outlets or dealers near you, and online too.
