Prêt backpacks for girls

A unicorn on a heart-shaped front pocket or a sweet little rabbit: the Prêt backpacks for girls from the Little Smiles collection make every morning a cheerful start. At Tiny Giggles you choose from two backpacks by Prêt, in navy or pink. They share the same handy size, a main compartment, a small front pocket, adjustable shoulder straps and a loop for hanging them up. Below you can read what fits in which compartment and how your daughter learns to use it herself.

The Prêt backpacks for girls

• Prêt Little Smiles Navy Backpack: navy and multicoloured, with a heart-shaped front pocket and a unicorn on the front.
• Prêt Little Smiles Pink Backpack 3+ years: pink and multicoloured, with a rabbit design on the front pocket.

Both backpacks measure 30 x 25 x 11 cm and are made of 100% polyester. They have one main compartment, one small front pocket, adjustable shoulder straps and a loop at the top.

Navy or pink?

The two backpacks are the same size and have the same layout. The difference is the colour and the little character. The navy backpack with the unicorn is a little bolder and shows dirt less quickly. The pink backpack with the rabbit is soft and sweet. Let your daughter choose: a bag that makes her happy is one she'll take along every day.

Little Smiles: cheerful little characters

Prêt's Little Smiles collection is all about small, happy characters. The navy backpack has a unicorn on a heart-shaped front pocket, the pink backpack a little rabbit. They're calm, sweet designs that aren't too busy, and they suit young children who are just starting daycare, playgroup or reception.

Using the front pocket cleverly

The front pocket is small but very handy. Agree together what goes in it, so your daughter knows exactly where to look:

• A paper tissue.
• A small snack for break time.
• A hair tie or hair clip.
• A note for the teacher or carer.

Heavy or large things go in the main compartment. That keeps the front pocket flat and the backpack hanging straight.

What fits in the main compartment?

The main compartment holds a lunchbox, a cup or bottle and a spare set of clothes. For PE or swimming lessons, a thin towel fits too. A matching box is under lunchboxes for girls, and a bottle under water bottles.

From what age?

The pink backpack is labelled for children aged 3 and up. At 30 cm high, the size suits toddlers and preschoolers well. Adjust the shoulder straps so the backpack sits high on the back, with the bottom roughly at waist height. That's when your daughter carries it most easily.

The first day

A backpack of her own can help on an exciting first day. Let your daughter wear the bag at home for a few days beforehand so it feels familiar. Put a small cuddly toy or a photo from home inside. Many children find saying goodbye a little easier when they have something familiar with them.

What goes along each day?

• Daycare: spare clothes, a nappy and a cuddly toy.
• Playgroup: a cup and a fruit box.
• Reception: a lunchbox, a bottle and plimsolls on PE days.
• Sleepover: pyjamas, a toothbrush and a book.

Learning to pack herself

A backpack with two compartments is great practice in independence. Let your daughter pack her own bag in the evening: lunchbox and cup in the main compartment, tissue in the front pocket. Then check together that everything is in. In the afternoon she unpacks the bag herself. That way she learns step by step to look after her own things, and she's proud when it works.

For a day out too

The Prêt backpack isn't just for school or daycare. Take it to the playground, the petting farm or a day at grandma and grandpa's. Put in a bottle of water, a fruit box and a raincoat, and your daughter carries her own things. That keeps your hands free.

Easy to spot on the coat hook

With the unicorn heart or the little rabbit, your daughter recognises her bag straight away among all the others. Still write her name on a label on the loop. Then the carer or teacher can quickly return the bag if it's been left somewhere.

Care

Wipe the backpack clean with a damp cloth and a little mild soap, and let it dry open. Check the front pocket regularly too: a forgotten snack or a scrap of paper easily stays behind there. Empty the bag completely every Friday, so your daughter starts the new week with a tidy backpack.

Complete the set

A lunch bag and gym bag go nicely with the backpack. See the lunch bags for girls and the gym bags for girls. Everything for the new school year is under school. If you order several school items at once, the school bundle discount applies: 5% for 2 items, 10% for 3 and 15% from 4.
