It’s Back to School Season: These are Our 7 Favorite Water Bottles for Kids

Back to school season is in full swing, and we all know that one of the best parts of heading back to class is stocking up on new supplies. As you take your little ones shopping this year, don’t forget to add a reusable water bottle to their list of must-haves. We rounded up some of our favorites that are reliable enough to last the entire year and beyond, but are fun enough that they won’t be so easily misplaced on the playground.

It’s easier to drink out of a straw, so we appreciate that this water bottle comes with one that flips up to make sipping super easy. It comes in four bright colors, has a no-slip grip, and is made of BPA-free plastic—perfect for the lunch box and the soccer field.

These glow-in-the-dark bottles open up when you push the lid, so there’s no tricky twisting involved. Better yet, there’s a monogramming option so no one at the lunch table will accidentally grab the wrong drink. There is also a matching backpack, lunch box, and food container available, plus a variety of other patterns if your child doesn’t like the heart patterns.

Older kids and teens will love this sleek water bottle, which is a little more grown up but still super cute thanks to the personalization. It’s BPA-free and slim enough to toss in a sports bag or backpack—and would even make a nice teacher gift.

This little water bottle will stand out from the crowd thanks to the colorful motifs. (And if zoo animals aren’t your child’s thing, fear not—there are tons of different patterns available!) This bottle is a mini version of the CamelBak Chute that’s popular with adults, including the fold-down straw and all.

This lovely floral water bottle also has an inspiring phrase written on the front: Strong and Beautiful. At just $9 it’s a great price, and will give your child an extra boost of confidence as she heads out the door each morning.

Have a Disney addict in your family? He or she will fall head over heels for these spirited water bottles, which can be customized with a special character decal. Choose from a long list of Disney friends ranging from Tinker Bell to Donald Duck, and let your child’s imagination take flight.

If your kid is a huge “Paw Patrol” fan (or “Cars“, or “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles“), they’ll love this best-selling thermos. Featuring a push button lid with pop-up silicone straw, it’ll keep drinks cold for up to 12 hours—and let your kid’s personality shine.
