No backpacks, please...for Kindergaren. Just totes. You can buy them for $5 at Walmart, or order one with the child's name on it through the school for $7.
Mmm, no thanks.
Macee lives across the big road and is going into Kindergarten with Andy this year. We're hoping they both get Ms. Archer. Macee picked they yellow flower interior, and the apples, and pink, and blue, and a flower. So we put it together for the perfect non-boring Kindergarten tote.
Andy is still trying decide if he wants green, skulls, or lobsters. Yeah, I know. He's a kooky kid. I'll show ya when he finally decides.
We're making oilcloth lunch sacks next week. I'll show you that, too. later.

That is so cute!
Okay, the kindergartens have to carry totes? Isn't the whole point of a backpack that children get equal distribution of weight on their young developing spines?
I predict a generation of lopsided adults. : )

August 4, 2009 at 3:30 PM Do you sell on Etsy too? Or only on your blog? How do I buy something? I LOVE the things you make!
