Animal Backpacks by BottomsUp4Kids

I still have yet to discover why, but our daughter has a special affinity towards ducks.  She thinks they are the cutest and most adorable things in the world.  That is why it was not difficult to choose which one of the animal backpacks, offered by BottomsUp4Kids, was the perfect one for our little preschooler.

Although BottomsUp4Kids.com now offers a variety of accessories for children, this mom-owned company started off with fashion belts for kids.  Now this online boutique is a source of children's backpacks, lunch bags, handbags, hair accessories, jewelry, and hats, as well as belts all designed by the owner.

This faux leather Duck Backpack is extremely soft and supple.  Measuring approximately 10" x 7", this bag makes a nice roomy purse backpack, but is not large enough to hold a standard 2-pocket folder, usually required for preschool.  This has become one of my daughter's favorite bags to carry because it allows her to keep her hands free to hold an adult's hand while walking, to play, and to shop.

This bag even comes with a label on which we can write my daughter's name and information, should she or her backpack ever become lost.  The padded shoulder straps are adjustable to accommodate children of different sizes.

This backpack is so roomy that her brothers are always asking her to carry their toys for them when we leave the house as a family.  Our daughter is always happy to oblige and wears her backpack proudly because it is not just cute and fashionable, but also useful.

These animal backpacks by BottomsUp4Kids retail for $28 each and is currently available in the Duck, a Ladybug, a pink Rabbit, and a Turtle.  Visit www.BottomsUp4Kids.com to view their full selection of children's accessories.
