The content of the school bag does not have to trigger a sugar shock …
Congratulation! The hurdle of choosing a school bag has been overcome – it doesn't matter whether you make it yourself or buy it yourself. Now the huge thing has to be filled. But what's in the school bag? We know that what matters is the content – and the expectations of our first graders are far from apple and pencil. So that we don't have to invest huge sums and the school bag doesn't turn into a sugar bag, we looked around in the online shops. The Mom editors are very keen on school gifts that sweeten first-graders' school start – without any sugar. If you don't find anything in our gallery, we have even more ideas for "What's in the school bag?".
School bag – courage to pragmatism
Before school starts, the school sends a list of things that first graders need: ink boxes, paint aprons, bread boxes or water bottles. We can also put some of this in the school bag – because the children's room is usually filled to the ceiling with small parts anyway, right?
School bag contents: the classics
Loving ideas for the content of the school bag
Small lucky charms can provide joy in the school bag just as long-awaited school utensils. After all, there is one or two moments when you start school that can make you queasy. The (new) favorite cuddly toy is welcome to be part of the first day of school. Even more ideas for mental support:
- Velcro stickers with your own photo motifs: School bags equipped with Klettis can be decorated with photos of family or pets. The stickers can be configured online (for Ergobag satchels at ergobag.de).
- A bracelet that brings luck: Encouragement motifs as a pendant on the small rubber band are also available in toy shops (from approx. 5 euros). DIY is also possible: For example, a bracelet with the lettering "school child", Letter beads are available online and in pearl shops. If you want to invest a little more, you can also choose a silver guardian angel chain or earrings in the shape of a school bag.
- Name badges – They ensure that the school bag, school bag, gym bag, lunch box, water bottle and the like really belong to the child. Stickers are also available with individually selectable symbols and colors.
We can also fill the school bag:
Little games (for example "25 games for the break ","Math monster","ABC magic duel").
CDs to start school ("The little dragon coconut comes to school", "The 30 best children's songs to start school", "Hooray, I'm a school child", "Maluna moonlight, a magical school day", "Mo and the crumbs: the first day of school" ).
A Friend book – after all, there are hardly any better memories than that that little Basti (who will later become foreign minister) used to prefer to be disguised as Princess Elsa.
Rubber twist: An absolute classic that has sweetened our breaks before – still hard to find in 2020 in the schoolyards of primary schools.
Important: The school bag should not be too heavy, with the content (in your own interest, because mom and dad experience experience that the bag will be worn after a short time) so make sure that it is rather small, light parts. The big gifts can also be left at home if the school bag is opened in the morning before going to school.
Tip for pragmatists: take an empty school bag to school. No one looks in there anyway.
