Raphaël the preschool backpack

Choosing the first school bag is an important step before starting preschool. From the youngest class onward, a school bag should be light, easy to open, comfortable, and large enough to hold the comfort toy, the snack, the communication notebook, and a change of clothes. Our preschool backpack was designed for children aged 3 to 6: light, easy to handle thanks to its magnetic closures, and perfectly suited to small hands.

From preschool (around 2.5 / 3 years old), a preschool backpack is often required by schools. It is used to carry:

- a small notebook or communication diary

- the beloved comfort toy

- a snack

- a change of clothes or spare outfit

A well-adapted backpack from this age onward encourages independence, the pride of "doing things like the big kids," and above all good organization for the first steps at school.

A preschool backpack must be compact enough to stay comfortable while offering enough room for everyday essentials. With its dimensions of 26 × 33 × 9 cm, a capacity of 8 liters and its featherlight weight of 350 g, our backpack easily fits a notebook, a comfort toy, a water bottle, a snack box, a change of clothes and all the little treasures of the day.

Our backpack is designed to hold everything your child needs at school: a notebook or a communication book, a cuddly toy, a water bottle, a snack box, a change of clothes, their drawings… and sometimes even a few treasures picked up in the playground! Its large compartment makes it easy to find everything.

As always at Petit Picotin, the preschool backpack is made in Portugal, in our trusted partner factory. Personalization is then carried out in our workshop in Nantes, with all the care we love to bring to every order.

The first day of school is a moment full of emotions, for children and parents alike. Personalized with a first name, a nickname, or a sweet little message, the school bag becomes a reassuring companion that the child recognizes immediately. A useful gift for the first day of school… and a lovely keepsake to treasure when the time comes to start Year 1.

For a perfectly coordinated back-to-school look, pair your school bag with a water bottle, a snack box, a pencil case, a smock or a sports bag from Petit Picotin. All are available in the same colors and can be personalized to create a harmonious set that will accompany your child throughout their preschool years.

Absolutely! A personalized school bag is a gift that is both practical for back to school, symbolic of a big milestone, and filled with love thanks to the personalization. And when the time comes for first grade, it can even be kept as a lovely keepsake from those first school years.
