Friday mornings are often crafty times for us because it is the only day when my two youngest are both home all day. This morning my daughter colored her Kidzsack Backpack an my son colored with his Eco Stars (more on those later). We set up the perfect place to do all this busy work… on the back porch, soaking in the fresh air and sunshine. This area will double as our dining room until Fall.
Anyway, the Kidzsack is a durable kids backpack made from eco friendly fibers. They come with an uncolored picture on the base of the pack and the kids get to color them in and make the backpack their unique creation. As a future fashion designer (her words not mine) my daughter really appreciates this product. It comes with 8 washable markers so that you can wash and then "create" all over again.
There are numerous different designs from which to choose from, for boys and girls. The bag my daughter has is called Sea Life but you can also get Sports, Castles, Jungle, etc. My daughter is anxiously awaiting Monday so she can take her new pack to school and show it off.
What I like about this product is that it gives kids control over the creative design. I like the fact that this "craft" is actually useful too. I know we will get much use out of it at school and during trips this summer. I love bags you can wash too!! The bag gets bonus points for being partially made out of recycled plastic bottles… they gotta go somewhere.
I am not so crazy about markers in general because of the new plastic, but what can you do? Usually we donate the markers that come with craft projects but these will be kept for future colorization of the bag. We give this product a A+ for fun and a B+ on eco indicators.
