Our homework bags offer great opportunities for children to interact with literature and actively participate with books in a home environment. Get students and parents excited about learning with take-home activity packs they can do together! Covering math, science, social studies and more, this incredible cross-curricular program features a variety of fun & engaging “backpacks” for kids to take home. Inside each one, children and their parents discover exciting activities that turn classroom basics—like counting and the alphabet—into hands-on fun! And they couldn't be easier to use!
Each take home bag contains:
- a read-aloud book
- reproducible activity sheets and games that correlate with the bag's theme
- a writing journal
- a parent letter explaining the homework bag
- a materials checklist
- a parent-student contract
- student stickers and awards to use as motivational rewards for returning the bag on time
- a thematic two-pocket folder to hold the contents of your bag
- and a resource guide filled with cross-curricula ideas, recipes, games, and crafts and other hands-on activities to use with your bag.
Motivate your students and challenge them with our exciting backpack program. Join our backpack club and receive a new bag each month to use in your classroom.
Each of our bags is available in a fabric appliqued version and a hand-drawn version. The appliqued bags come on colorful tote bags and each picture is machine-sewn to the bag. Fabric paint is used to add details to each design. Our hand-drawn bags come on natural colored canvas bags only and the pictures are hand-drawn with fabric markers. They are a more cost-effective version of our original fabric appliqued bags. Both types of bags are machine washable, however, the fabric appliqued bags are a more durable, longer-lasting bag. After washing, the hand-drawn bags will lose some of their vibrancy. |
