School craft: Backpack tags
Categories: Fun & activities, Education
Now that is off my back...my kids are heading over to Mother's Day Out next month. We got my son a nice, plain backpack that I'm hoping we can resell when he's done (yeah, right.) because I'm as cheap as they come. As I'm writing this, I'm thinking about how hard that little boy is on his things, so maybe we won't be selling it once he's done.
Hmm. Okay. On to the craft! You have a kid! And a backpack! Both are heading off to school! What should you do? Make a tag for your backpack!
Here's what you need:
- Shrinkable plastic (aka Shrinky Dink or Poly Shrink)
- Markers, colored pencils and such
- Stamp pad
- Key rings
- Sandpaper

Mine also have gone to a PMO and learned tons.
My three year old son, for his SECOND year there, is getting his THIRD backpack. (broken zipper, ripped pocket) Brother, in 1st grade, has also been through three, and they've also each been through two vinyl lunchboxes. There is nothing left to resell!
I decided that cute, cheaper bags are better than quality bags since they'll be getting new ones almost every year anyway. Not even the good ones held up for more than two years.
