We’ve scouted out some of the most unusual backpacks available online so you have one thing less to do on that never-ending Back-to-School list. From sharks to pirates, dogs to dinosaurs; we’ve got it covered.
Dinosaur Mini Rucksack
Cath Kidston
This mini backpack from the Queen of Kitsch, Cath Kidston is perfect for nursery school aged boys. Big enough to fit in their lunch, some crayons and maybe a toy or two, but small enough for tots. We love the old-fashioned style of the dinosaur illustrations, and the PVC fabric means it will wipe clean.
Pirate Treasure Chest Backpack
Kidorable at Cradle and All
This treasure chest inspired backpack will keep any little fans of Jack Sparrow very happy. It’s the ideal shape and size for loading up school books, lunch packs and anything else your little pirate may need. For rainy days; a matching raincoat, wellies, and umbrella are also available.
Shark Backpack
Beatrix at Just-Gorgeous.com
Practicality meets whimsical children’s design with this mini backpack from New York label Beatrix. The range is full of charming characters from ladybirds to bumblebees and pandas to pigs. This shark is one of our favourites for mischievous little boys.
Dog Backpack
Skip-Hop Zoo Bag at Mothercare
Send your little one off to school with boy’s best friend. This adorable dog rucksack has a handy write-on name tag inside to ensure it won’t go walkies, and the inside lining is easy to wipe down after those lunchbox leaks.
Explorer Backpack
Zara
This classic boy’s backpack is a great choice for slightly older children. Just on the right side of grown-up but still with enough Boy Scout charm to keep it kid friendly, it’s a firm favourite at StyleNest. The classic khaki cotton and durable buffalo leather straps means you won’t need to fork out any mid-year replacements.
My 1st Satchel
Miniséri
Make his first day at school extra special with this traditional satchel.
