My favourite toothbrush brand, Ordo, has launched a children’s version in collaboration with Squishmallows. They are adorable and a great incentive for the resistant tooth-brusher. I will be buying one for both of my kids. £45, ordolife.com
Big news for Sézane fans: the French favourite is launching kidswear. Inspired by the founder Morgan Sézalory’s twin daughters — and what she has learnt from dressing them — the Petit Sézane collection goes up to age 12 and includes everything from Gallic stripes to perfect play clothes. From September 1, sezane.com
Not all children’s bicycle brands are created equal: a lightweight bike with a geometric frame makes it easier to learn to ride. Early Rider (founded by a cycling-mad dad in his garden shed) has us convinced. Frames are gender neutral (great to pass on to siblings) and come in various colours. Belter bike, from £399, earlyrider.com
For children who still have Olympics fever, Mini Rodini’s collaboration with the Besesaka boxing education programme — which helps kids and talented boxers in Ghana to unleash their potential — is knock-out. Think hoodies and crew socks in colours that pack a punch, with 20 per cent of the retail price going to the programme. Socks, £20 for three pairs, from September 19, minirodini.com
School bags should be hardwearing and fun too. I love this new Cath Kidston edit, which is exclusive to Next and features everything from ballerinas to Olympians. A win. £40, Cath Kidston, next.co.uk
One, two, three, awwww. How cute is this marshmallow charm? It’s the perfect thing to titivate a new school bag. Is it too early to start buying stocking fillers? £25, Jellycat, selfridges.com
I’ve found a leak-proof, dropped-from-a-great-height-proof water bottle in the form of this Rambler Jr bottle by Yeti. If anyone works out a way to make them left-at-school-or-lost-proof, please let me know. £25, yeti.com
With helpful staff, many of whom are trained in autism and disability awareness, an efficient foot-measuring service and £5 off your next pair of shoes when you bring in an old pair to be recycled, the Scottish retailer Schuh is pain-free new-term shopping in a nutshell. Trainers, £37, Vans, schuh.co.uk
Just as grown-up Dryrobes can be worn for all kinds of pursuits, so too can this mini-me version, just launched by the British brand Toastie. In three bold designs, the all-rounder jackets are made from recycled shell fabrics and, excitingly, for a limited time are also available for grown-ups. £75, toastiekids.com
You can’t beat Arket for small but perfectly formed jeans and denim jackets. The newly expanded range also includes hats and easy-to-wear shirts that are perfect for layering. Overshirt, £45, jeans, £37, and hat, £29, arket.com
