We’re so excited to bring you our annual Back to School Shopping Guide! Whoo! While you were busy drinking in the rest of summer, we were all busy combing the web to find our favorite back to school goodies to help get everyone a little more excited for September…or uh, early August, for a few of you. (Sorry Nashville.) We’re kicking things off today with the coolest backpacks and bags for preschoolers and the younger kids in your life, which is always one of our favorites. How sweet is it to pick out your child’s very first backpack that no doubt will be immortalized for life in those 8 zillion first day of preschool pictures?
And what would our guide be without a killer giveaway? This year it’s a $1000 back to school giveaway that we like to think of as a little something for you, a little something for the kids. Scroll down for all the details; entering is as easy as leaving a comment.
This all comes to you thanks to our amazing (amazing!) sponsor, HP, which is a major fixture in our own homes. We absolutely flipped when we learned about the cool new thing they’re doing to save parents time and money: They’ve launched the HP Instant Ink replacement service which can save families as much as 50% on the cost of Original HP ink. Plus your printer actually alerts HP when it’s time for more ink so it can be auto-shipped to you for as little as $2.99 a month. Be sure to check it out because we sense you’ll have a little more printing to do come fall.
Happy shopping, cool parents!

MadPax half-pack ($48, MadPax)
We’ve been in love with MadPax since their breakout launch a few years back, and they just keep adding more coolness to the collection. In addition to the Spiketus Rex packs (shown in the collage at top), we love this faux…uh…something prehistoric print in tons of different colors and styles.
Monkey preschool backpack ($40, Dabbawalla)
We’ve been so impressed with how well our Dabbawalla neoprene bags have held up over the years, and our kids love the adorable styles that are perfect for a small lunch and maybe a small nap blanket or change of underthings for preschool. This monkey steals our hearts, but you can find him in pink, too. [20% off with CMP2014]
Elephant preschool backpack ($29, Land of Nod)
Since animal themed backpacks are clearly a staple for preschoolers and little kids, we’d be remiss if we didn’t ooh and ahh over this way cute, and way affordable elephant backpack at Land of Nod. Whether he’s allowed to carry peanuts is up to your school.
Penguin preschool backpack ($42, Beatrix NY)
Beatrix NY makes the bags and lunch accessories that have become a staple in our guides and on the shoulders of stylish kids everywhere; you can’t walk past a school playground in Brooklyn or Silverlake without seeing their iconic designs, like this irresistible little penguin that’s cute for boys and girls. [15% off with COOLMOM15 through 8/31]

Fjällräven Kanken mini backpack ($49.99-55, Zappos)
If you haven’t seen the Fjällräven backpacks around your school yet, well come visit us! Arguably the hottest new backpacks around the country, they’re actually not new at all — they’ve been a Scandinavian staple for years, with sturdy construction and tons of fantastic colors and styles.
Dinosaur backpack ($44.99, So Young Modern Family)
Rebranded from So Young Mother to So Young Modern Family, this small designer makes some of our very favorite backpacks to recommend each year. Ask any parent just how well they take a beating, and how convenient that wipeable interior is. Plus, they’re comfy. You’ll find lots of big and little kid backpacks to choose from but dinosaurs never go out of style — for boys and girls.
Jansport Half-Pint Backpack ($24.90, eBags)
Moms always tell us how much they love their kids’ Jansport backpacks, and this half-pint bag blends their rugged design with a decidedly cute, pre-school ready pattern.
Stuf backpacks for preschoolers ($24.99, WryBaby)
Well it’s about time that Wry Baby makes the move from the t-shirts so much of us love (and laugh over) into way cool toddler and preschool backpacks with designs like this cool robot or a retro-fun circus elephant.
Parisian tote ($32, My Sweet Muffin)
With lots of preschools trying to limit the amount kids are carrying, and switching to totes or messenger style bags for space reasons, this one from one of our top go-to indie shops has captured our hearts. Ooh la la.
Robot tote for preschoolers ($25, Mamoo Kids)
Another cute tote comes from the Mamoo Kids line featuring this original combo of physical prowess and tech proficiency. In other words, the perfect recipe for success. And cuteness.
Eco friendly penguin preschool backpack ($39, Apple Park)
Apple Park is making a huge splash with their eco-friendly baby gifts, but don’t miss their eco-friendly backpacks for little kids and preschoolers, like this super cute owl.
Heart pixels backpack by Agatha Ruiz de la Prada ($29.99 on sale, eBags)
Agatha Ruiz de la Prada is one of Spain’s hottest kids designers, and we love that her cute backpacks and school accessories are on sale at great prices in so many fun designs.
Hello Kitty rainbow backpack ($39.99, eBags)
Forgive the analogy, but we’re starting to think that Hello Kitty is like the cockroach of licensed products — it will never die. This fun rainbow backpack is proof that she just keeps staying relevant — and our kids just keep asking for more of her.
Personalized library tote bag – girl,
Personalized library tote bag – boy ($27, Sarah + Abraham)
Oh how we love everything from Sarah + Abraham, including these brand-new personal library totes. Because reading is cool! Not that your kids don’t already know that.

The personalized library tote bags–my daughter’s LOVE the library.
My daughter would love the spikey backpack or the hello kitty backback
My daughter would love the Jansport Half-Pint Booksack with the polkadots all over. She picked out one like this, and she loves polkadots. I think it will be perfect for her with the size and all. I love Jansport, they last a long time and the warranty is great.

My son just picked the MadPax spiketus rex for fall and he gets the best comments everywhere he wears it!
I love the Robot tote, and I know my kiddos would too!
My boys would love the Fjallraven and loNod elephant. For library bags, they would love the robot ‘yes, I can’ because we need a bigger bag and zipper to carry. We have had a Dabbawalla (the racecar version) one for 5 years and it is still going strong! Great picks!
My daughter is obsessed with all things hello kitty right now. She just bought a book that is a collection of short stories about hello kitty. She sleeps with a hello kitty blanket and pillow and her favorite night gown – you guessed it. THE KITTY.
Here’s my bonus point for Facebook love

I want all of these bags for me, but guessing my son would pick the monkey or trex for himself.
Fjallraven Kanken looks sturdy. But my daughter loves hello kitty.
The apple park owl backpack because she is obsessed with owls (one of her first words) and her name means “wise”, like the owl. Also, extra points for the Eco-friendly nature of the product.

Trex. Always dinos with these boys.
My son would love to start preschool with the monkey backpack. We’ve called him our monkey since he was kicking around inside my belly – and he’s adopted the nickname and the primate appreciation as a result 🙂
I love the elephant from land of nod
My son would love the dinosaur!!
Dinosaur backpack all the way for my three year old
I have an exceptional preschool nugget who, well let’s say he rides the “Spectrum” if you will, and thus ADORES anything multi sensory. That spiffy terrific stegosaurs spika-ma-whatzit backpack would knock his socks off. Possibly, literally. 😉
The personalized library tote bags because my kids love the library & reading but gave a horrible habit of losing books or not keeping them in the same place between readings.
The mad pax is awesome.
My son would love that monkey backpack to start his first year of preschool.
Love the Beatrix NY backpacks. My daughter loves the Land of Nod elephant, we get their catalog in the mail and she’s been begging for that backpack ever since she saw it.
The TRex one is adorable and for dinosaur fans like us it is the winner hands down!
I think the rainbow Hello Kitty backpack would be my daughter’s favorite! But honestly, they’re all adorable!
Robot tote, heart pixels, rainbow hello kitty, or the madpax
The dinosaur backpack! He loves dinosaurs right now and he would carry it everywhere.
I have an exceptional 3 year old with an ASD who would flip his wig over the pokey- poke-a-saurusy pack. He’s mega into anything providing multi- sensory input-and that’s a visual and tactile wonderland.
(Sorry if there was confusion in my prior attempt at post or if this becomes a duplicate)
My little O would look O-dorable carrying the Dabbawalla pink monkey. Thanks for the list. I’ve been searching for that perfect first backpack for O now I have so many new options.
My daughter would like the Parisian tote and the Hello Kitty book bag. Super cute and too hard to choose a favorite.
My little guy roars every time he sees a dinosaur so he would love the dinosaur backpack.
My daughter turns five in two weeks and absolutely loves learning to read- she would adore the reading tote with her name on it, as she just got her first library card!

The hello kitty!!!
Hello Kitty rainbow stripes for my daughter- what’s not to love???

My new kindergartner ( eek) would love the Madpak for its sheer boyness, although I think the dino and robot backpacks are the cutest things I’ve seen!
Personally, I love the penguin. But my little boy would certainly love the dinosaur! Pick me. Pick me.

My daughter would love the rainbow Hello Kitty backpack. So cute.
My preschooler would go gaga over the Hello Kitty Rainbow backpack. She is a big HK fan and rainbow. The best combination in her colorful world.

My soon-to-be-Kindergartener would love that So Young dino backpack, because…dinosaur!
I know my daughter would LOVE the Elephant Preschool Backpack and I’m sure would name it Ellie 🙂
Love the BeatrixNY backpack.
My son would either like the dinosaur backpack because what kid doesn’t like dinosaurs and it has a pocket for his water bottle, or the penguin backpack since it’s super cute.
My little guy would love the Mad Pak! I just saw one for the first time the other day and was delighted to see that they made the list.
The Eco friendly penguin preschool backpack would be a huge hit at our house!

My daughter would love the jansport.She loves polka dots!
The land of nod bag…cute!

We LOVE the style and durability of the Beatrix NY bags!

when my son was in preschool he was crazy for penguins so that one would definitely have been a hit. Now I think he’d go for the one with spikes for sure.
Shared on Facebook… https://www.facebook.com/llfriedman or https://shar.es/1nceVE.
My daughter is obsessed with rainbows, so the Hello Kitty back pack has her name written ALL over it! What a way to walk into kindergarten.

Hello?! Fjällräven Kanken mini backpack, for sure!
Definitely the MadPax spike Rex! Thanks for the giveaway! Amy @ gasudimack(at)sbcglobal(dot)net
My two year old would feel so special to get his very own “Felephant” backpack to wear as his two big brothers get on the school bus together. He says he’s ready to go to school and ride the bus but I think wearing a new (not a hand-me-down) adorable elephant backpack is a great compromise! 🙂
Oh that neoprene Monkey backpack is a huge hit for my son. He is mad about it!
My son would love the Dinosaur backpack as we just decorated his new big boy room blue and green with Dino’s everywhere! RRRAAAAA!!!!

K, 2nd and 4th for the kids, I will be a student teacher this year and my husband is a professor of education. I love summer, but this year should be a blast!

My 2 y.o. boy would love the “ehfunt” backpack, trunk and all.
It’s his favorite animal, he’s currently sleeping with two different stuffed ones!
My daughter is going to kindergarten this year and would so go for the pixilated looks of Agatha Ruiz bags, super girly but not too distracting – she’s a little reserved 😉 My son is going to preschool and I can picture him with the Fjallraven Kanken bags in something bright and energetic just like him (plus it’ll look awesome with his glasses!)
the fjallraven backpack is great!
I think the Fjällräven backpack is super cool. My kids are a little older and this is perfect for kindergarten!
I think my son would like the Fjällräven Kanken mini backpack because of the great bright colors available. I want him to like the Elephant preschool backpack , but the truth is animal or creatures he’s not familiar with freak him out.
My daughter would love the Hello Kitty backpack.
Without a doubt, my daughter would pick the Hello Kitty Rainbow backpack! I love Hello Kitty and so does she.

the hello kitty, my LO loves rainbows
My 7 year old daughter would love the rainbow backpack – she loves bright colours!
The Parisian tote is absolutely adorable and perfect for my newest to take to the library! Having individual totes for the library helps the kids take responsibility for the books they borrow and narrows how many books they choose based on what they can carry! Win, win for a mom of 3 kids who all love to read- sometimes I even have a hand to borrow a book for myself!!
madpax and robot tote! super cute.
I think my three-year-old would really like the monkey preschool backpack. I’m always calling him my little monkey, and he’s taken to climbing on anything he can.
