I remember always being nervous about the first day of school as a kid. It was always so exciting to wear your best outfit, have the newest school supplies, and most importantly arrive sporting the coolest back pack! It had to represent who you are and still have your classmates drooling over it. Things have changed a little since my pink Power Ranger back pack days but definitely for the better!

Dabbawalla has the perfect products to add to this years back to school list! Frustrated with the lack of appropriately sized back packs for young children, sisters Susan and Carol partnered up to create a simple yet colorful line of bags. Inspired by the simplicity of European designs they created an appropriate sized bag for children in pre-school and young elementary school children. As I wasl, my son is now getting excited about his first day of school in just a few short weeks.

This is the first year he will actually get to carry a backpack to school so I knew we had to find the perfect one to make us both happy! He of course picked the first one to make him giggle and that was the adorable little Monkey See, Monkey Do back pack. I’m not surprised considering he is a monkey himself! I wanted something that would not only grow with him through the school year but something that was durable and would fit all of his snacks and art work.
