Kid-Designed Back-to-School Backpacks

Kid-Designed Back-to-School Backpacks

I truly cannot believe it but we’re nearing the end of summer break (boooo!) and that means it’s time to get ready for the school year. So many parents complain about all the back to school stuff – the backpacks, the lunches, the supplies, the curriculum, the new clothes to fit them – but this mom right here loves it. It’s all just so fun for me and this year, it’s even more fun for the kids because I had the best idea!

Every year we find the most darling backpacks for the kids, like a squeal with excitement kind of love. And if you’re new here, we do homeschool (going on our 4th consecutive year - 5th year total) but the kids go into school one day a week at the cutest little farm school there was. This gives us the flexibility that we love so much from a homeschool environment, but they also get that conventional in school experience… with cows and alpacas and chickens and goats and bunnies and more, right there with them. Yes, I’m jealous.

But let’s get back to the backpack top because this idea I had is probably one of my best ideas:


Kid-Designed Backpacks

So as I was scrolling through the backpacks this year, I saw the option for having iron on patches and that’s when it hit me. “I’m going to let the kids design their own backpacks this year, wi

And so I bought a whole bunch of patches that I thought they’d like, a backpack and lunchbox for each of them, and they got to designing!

I mean, the backpacks on their own are absolutely darling but look how cute they turned out designed by the kids - adorable right?! 

I linked all of the backpacks, patches, lunchboxes, reusable canisters for lunches and key chains so you can scroll through all the patches and select the ones your kids love, whether it’s soccer, snakes, rainbows or cats, there are dozens and dozens to choose from for the most adorable personalization you ever did see.

Happy designing, kiddos!
