Which schoolbag for CE2?
With their entry into CE2 class, children are in the middle of their primary education journey. The homework load increases, as does the number of subjects and notebooks. In addition, children are in the middle of a growth period, and even if the load carried on their backs is not very heavy, it can cause minor problems in the long run. This is why a adapted schoolbag their education is necessary.
Different criteria should guide your choice.
A good-sized schoolbag
This year, your child will have to carry more books and notebooks than last year. Therefore, they'll need a larger school bag. A 41 cm bag is ideal. It will be adapted to the child's size but also to the load they will have to bring home. It should have compartments to store a snack and small miscellaneous materials like geometry kits.
Having a school bag that fits is also a matter of appearances. A disproportion between the size of the school bag and that of the child will quickly attract ridicule or reveal its limitations in use.
Solidity above all
Because even in second grade, children are still children, they still carry their bags with them when they play and often hang out in the playground. Sometimes pressed for time, they don't give their schoolbags the care they deserve, and store them on the ground outside. This reality should bring us back to the quality of the schoolbag's manufacturing. Strong seams and a durable, waterproof polyester fabric will ensure watertightness. Metal clasps and rivets for the handles and straps will guarantee daily and intensive use without risk.
And since daily use means regular cleaning, it's best to choose a school bag that's easy to maintain. Polyester offers the advantage of being water-repellent and offering good resistance to stains and dust. However, from time to time, you can clean the school bag with a damp, soapy sponge using circular motions. Do the same for the interior, including the compartments, and let it dry completely.
A schoolbag they like
At their age, having a beautiful schoolbag to show off to their friends at school is a source of pride. Also, you have to make sure it matches their tastes. Why not bags in pastel colors, sometimes glittery, or decorated with unicorn or dragonfly patterns, or even bags in bolder or darker colors, which can be enhanced with an emblem featuring their favorite heroes, and which they will be proud to wear.
