Remember when back to school used to mean a new Trapper Keeper and a fresh, clean Jansport backpack? One that would soon be covered in Sharpie drawings to make it uniquely yours? Well, backpacks have come a long way, especially for the preschoolers / kindergarteners.
There are so many fun options sized especially for them, with colors and designs to make any new student excited for their first day.
Here’s a run down of our favorite stylish backpacks for your little one:
- Roxy Excursion Mini Backpack – Graphic and not overly girly, perfect for your little beach bum.
- Dabbawalla Kids Neoprene Backpack – Made of eco-friendly neoprene (think colorful wet suits) by workers earning fair wages in safe conditions, these are perfectly sized for lunch and a few supplies.
- LL Bean Original Junior Book Pack – A no-frills, high-quality backpack with a reflective strip helps keep kids visible in the early morning hours. You can have your child’s name monogrammed for an extra charge.
- Fjallraven Mini Kanken Backpack – A Scandanavian classic since 1978, both the Mini and the Original come in a plethora of fun colors which up the hip factor of the utilitarian design.
- BlaBla Canvas Backpacks – Featuring some of the most popular BlaBla characters, these canvas bags will fit just the essentials.
- Pottery Barn Kids Mackenzie Backpack – These come in 4 sizes and feature new prints each season for both boys and girls. Coordinating lunchbags are available, and both can be monogrammed.

So which is your favorite pick? I’m partial to the owl myself but both S and C are attending an all outdoor preschool again this year, so maybe The North Face is the way to go for us. Thanks so much to Kaley for scouting these fun finds.
She made some great picks, which isn’t surprising – she seems to have a gift for shopping (or at least window shopping). Check out her post on baby essentials to see what I mean!
