Do your children look forward to picking out a new back pack for school? Parents need to look for durability and safety in a back pack, too. Here are some points to consider in searching for the right back pack.
Back packs are an essential tool for preschool and school-age students.
- They make it so much easier to carry all their “stuff.”
- Your child is less likely to lose things when transporting that stuff to and from school.
- With sturdy folders to put inside, papers will come home in relatively good condition. (No back pack or folder is perfect. An imperfect child is putting it all inside!)
- Finally, a great part of a new school year is that backpacks are really fun for your budding young geniuses to pick out!
Do your kids want an action hero like Spiderman, or Transformers on their back pack… or their favorite sport, perhaps? How about a cartoon character like Dora the Explorer or a Princess theme?
Others are just huge. Really huge. You can even find them with wheels and a handle to reduce wear and tear on the back or shoulders. You name it, you can buy it.
It would be nice if back packs would last for years to come but that is usually not the case.
