Frequently asked questions
What is a mommy and me bracelet for the first day of school?
A mommy and me bracelet is a matching set, one bracelet for the parent and one for the child, worn together on the first day of school. The idea is that when your child misses you during the day, they look down at their wrist and see the same bracelet you are wearing, which helps them feel connected and calm. It is a simple, meaningful way to ease the transition into school.
Do matching bracelets help with separation anxiety in kindergarten?
Many parents and child specialists recommend a comfort object like a matching bracelet to help children manage separation anxiety at school. Having something physical and visible gives children a way to feel close to their parent even when apart. Our bracelets are worn all day, including during recess and lunch, so the reminder is always there.
What age are these bracelets designed for?
Our kids bracelets fit wrists from 5 inches, which works for most children ages 3 and up. They are popular for preschool, VPK, transitional kindergarten, kindergarten, and early elementary school. We also carry family sets for 2 adults and 1 child, so the whole family can match.
Are these bracelets safe for children to wear at school?
Yes. All our kids bracelets are made with soft waterproof cord and an adjustable sliding knot, so there are no clasps, sharp edges, or small detachable parts. They are comfortable for all-day wear including recess, gym, lunch, and water activities.
Can my child wear the bracelet in water?
Yes. Every bracelet in this collection is made with waterproof cord that will not fade, fray, or loosen when wet. Children can wear them in the pool, bath, or rain without any damage.
Do you offer personalized or initial bracelets for the first day of school?
Yes. We carry several personalized options including initial charm bracelets in pink, blue, and purple, as well as sterling silver initial sets. These make especially meaningful keepsakes because your child wears their own initial close to their wrist all day.
Can teachers order these bracelets to give to students?
Yes, many kindergarten teachers order our kids bracelets in small batches to give to their new class on the first day. It helps children feel welcomed and settled. Message us for bulk pricing if you need 10 or more.
How early should I order before the first day of school?
We ship from Florida with standard US delivery in 3 to 5 business days. We recommend ordering at least one week before you need the bracelet. For back to school season, ordering in late July gives you plenty of time for an August or September start.
Do you have bracelets for specific grades, not just kindergarten?
Yes. We have grade-specific bracelets for preschool, VPK, transitional kindergarten, kindergarten, first grade, second grade, third grade, and fourth grade. Each one is designed with the right emotional tone for that milestone, because every grade is its own big deal.
