Childrens Book Bags

> > >

Many schools and chlidren’s groups appreciate that a backpack might be too cumbersome for young children. An alternative is the primary school equivalent of a portfolio – the book bag.

From the earliest age children are encouraged to take books home to read and quite often there are important newsletters or permission slips or spelling sheets that also need to go home and be seen by parents and carers. A book bag is such a simple device that it would be hard to miss any paperwork contained therein whereas other types of carrier with pocket and pouches can provide a hiding place for scrunched up, folded pieces of paper.

Using a book bag encourages the child to slip in sheets alongside their nightly reading material so that communication between school and home isn’t compromised by untidiness or the spills from a lunchbox or drinks bottle that might be carried in a different type of bag. Also, as many schools have children place their lunch boxes in cages for the canteen they can easily be carried separately along with the lightweight book bag that can either be used with an integral grip handle or attachable shoulder strap.

With different colours available and integral name labels a book bag can be easily identified and readily collected at the end of the day.
