Beautiful, sustainable ideas for the school cone

Anyone with a child starting school at home will soon be getting the first questions like: "What do you want for the school cone?" And anyone looking for great ideas without plastic will find them at Lillygo.de. Beautiful gifts and creative filling materials for the school cone.

Spinning tops as filling material for the school cone

Today as then are roundabout A true classic toy and a great gift idea for a school cone. Spinning tops are among the oldest toys known to humankind and are loved by children worldwide.

Each spinning top from the small Austrian factory is unique, a beautiful toy, an original gift, but also a valuable collector's item.

Plastic-free lunchbox, water bottle and thermos flask in retro style from Norway

These special lunchboxes and bottles with their cool berry print are the perfect companions for the first day of school and fit perfectly into a sustainable school cone. The items are very high quality and simply beautiful!

This thermos flask isn't just for hot cocoa or tea during breaks; it's also perfect for outings. The second lid doubles as a small cup. Drinks stay warm in the thermos flask for up to 6 hours.

Lucky stones, lucky charms

These beautiful healing stones bestow magical powers upon little school heroes. With one of these lucky stones in their pocket, the fear of the first day of school vanishes. Each stone comes with a postcard detailing its superpower.

Memory Game Forest or Memory Game Nature Garden

A little something to play with is a must in every school cone. These memory games from Austria are not only beautifully illustrated, but also very educational. What is there to see in the forest? What are the names of the different plants and animals in the nature garden ? Children learn all this easily thanks to the realistic illustrations and labels.

Nature coloring book

The nature coloring book with its true-to-life illustrations is also the perfect gift for a sustainable school cone. The 60 beautifully drawn coloring pages of local flora and fauna, such as red foxes, kingfishers, badgers, wild berries, mushrooms, and much more, can be colored to your heart's content. Each coloring page is also labeled, so young and old alike can learn a lot of species names along the way.

Craft kit as filling material for the school cone

A craft project is a must-have in a school cone or as a back-to-school gift. How about this beautiful beetle made of sturdy cardboard? At Lillygo, you'll also find butterflies, unicorns, and dinosaurs . These beautiful, large creations also make great decorations for shelves, windows, or walls.

ABC flashcards

In my opinion, these bilingual ABC flashcards belong in every school bag. While playing with the cards, parents and children can talk about the different forest inhabitants and then clarify any uncertainties and questions during a subsequent walk in the woods. "What animals live in our forest?", "What do squirrels eat?", "Where do tadpoles live?". I'm sure the children will come up with many more questions.

To reinforce the letter sequence, the ABC flashcards can be arranged together in the correct order. When the cards with the capital letter are held towards the child, they can guess which animal begins with that letter.

English words can also be learned with the cards. What does "ant" mean in English, or "Who is a badger?" Thanks to the English translation on each card, little ones playfully learn the English names of animals. If children already speak some English, they can have their first conversations in English, where they will learn many more words.

We have some game ideas for you using the ABC learning cards .
