Oompa Toys Backpacks: Send Them To School In Style

Cool Backpack from Allerhand

As summer gives way to fall it can be hard to get your children excited to go back to school, but Oompa Toyshas just what you need. If you’re in the market for a fun, hipbackpack, lunch bag or lunch box this e-tailer should be your first –and only — destination.

The Cool Backpack from Allerhand($58) is, indeed, very, very cool. At 12×17x9" it’s a good sizedbackpack and it’s got all the features that an elementary school-agedchild could hope for — like five zippered pockets, a thermal sleevefor hot/cool drinks, pouches for electronic equipment and even areinforced handle for easy locker hanging.

There are flashier backpack options these days but if your little guy (or girl — it’s also available in Rouge and Sunflower)is more subdued, it makes a great pick. It’s also reliable for the longhaul. Kids are fickle, and while your kindergartner might love firetrucks now, by the time they’re in first grade the same might not besaid. Allerhand’s bags are durable enough to last year after year,something that is reflected in the purchase price, but in classicdesigns that will never go out of style.
