These colourful little backpacks by dabbawalla* are just the ticket for pre-schoolers.  They measure 12 inches long x 11 inches wide and can be used to carry around all manner of stuff… lunch, toys, clothes, books.  I’m hearting them all but if I had to pick a fave, well it’s just got to be the elephant one.  They’re made of a material that I can’t spell but I do know that it’s exactly the same material as wetsuits.  Which thankfully means that you can stick them in the washing machine.  

*dabbawalla – the indian term for lunchbox (dabba) + man (walla)
