School Essentials - Made To Last

From sustainable lunchboxes, handmade slippers, quality sun hats and children's backpacks, we have you covered with all the school essentials.

The transition to school is made easy by ticking off your essentials list to prepare your household for a smooth and happy school year.

Our range of sustainable, stainless steel lunch containers come in an array of sizes and styles to cater to every appetite, including bento-style and stackable lunchboxes, sandwich boxes, snack containers, insulated food canisters, stainless steel drink bottles for staying hydrated, and insulated lunch bags to transport it all easily.

Wearing slippers inside the classroom is a beautiful tradition in Steiner education. The practice supports transitions, health and movement. We are proud to stock handmade full leather slippers and upcycled fabric slippers with vegan rubber soles. Both are soft and comfortable for growing feet and support their movement and comfort needs in the classroom setting. Our upcycled fabric range is handcrafted in Byron Bay in their solar-powered studio.

Our sustainably sourced and beautifully made backpacks from Melbourne social enterprise, Beekeeper Parade, are a staple for each school day and beyond. Tailor-made for your child's school adventures, these backpacks come in unique designs and have functional compartments and side pockets for water bottles.

Our school essential products are made to last with the highest quality materials and a focus on sustainability and social impact. You can feel good about supporting small and often family-run businesses with many of our products made in Australia.

The rhythm of a school year brings lots of organisation and emotions, and having practical and sustainable products on hand makes each term simpler for you and your children. Lunch containers that are dishwasher friendly, slippers that little hands can easily slide on, hats that don't flop in the eyes and upcycled backpacks in sizes just right for children all make a difference when it comes to a happy and calm school experience.

Our handpicked products embody the essence of the Steiner/Waldorf philosophy, nurturing your child's holistic development while promoting healthy habits, creativity and sustainability. Discover the range of school essentials and more at Grassroots Eco Store.
