On your mark, get set, go! The mad dash to purchase that laundry list of "Back to School" supplies is here. While certain items like pencils, notebooks and paper are a no brainer, your child's backpack is something that should never be bought on a whim.
Unlike clothing and shoes, your child will not outgrow their backpack during the school year, or need to swap it out when the weather changes. It's the one constant they will proudly wear everyday to school. So why not make it something special?
Always remember that a backpack is way more than just a vessel to carry your kid's books to school. It's an extension of their personality. A representation of who your child is to their peers. Maybe your kid loves kittens? Maybe it's a certain cartoon character? Maybe they're obsessed with pink? Whatever floats their boat. In the end, it's all about building confidence and self-esteem...all while getting their homework home in one piece. - Jill Topol
