Kids backpacks come in all styles and colors. There are literally tons of backpacks featuring colorful patterns and stripes, cars and trucks, teddy bears, hearts, etc. But how many backpacks do you think feature penguins?

Well, at least one - the Wildkin Penguins Backpack. This kids backpack is perfect for children aged 3 to 7 and makes a wonderful school bag. It’s made from a durable polyester fabric and is fully lined. It has two adjustable, padded straps, and two compartments with storage pockets.

Wildkin makes backpacks and duffels for kids with other fun prints including dinosaur, fairies, pirates, and firemen, but I think the Penguins Backpack is especially cute.

Find it at eBags for $29.99.

As summer begins to wind down, one of the best ways to get your kid excited about the new school year is to go shopping for new school supplies. There is nothing like new school supplies to start the year afresh. Freshly sharpened pencils, binders, crayons, erasers, new clothes, and new backpacks make the transition easier and much more fun.

New school bags are always a favorite among kids. The older your child gets, the better quality the bag needs to be. If your child is going to be carrying around heavy books, it is a good idea to invest in a backpack that can be rolled. Mothers have often commented that Jansport backpacks last for more than one school year and are designed to carry a lot. The JanSport wheeled Super Break is made with a three-stage molded and padded rubber handle for extra comfort when rolling, and corner-mounted inline skate wheels for a controlled and stable motion. For younger kids who do not need to lug around quite as much, the JanSport Half Pint is one of the coolest bags around. This bag is smaller than the classic Super Break backpack and is therefore perfect for smaller bodies. The pack comes in a multitude of colors and patterns including white with stars, leopard, and zebra print.
