About this Image
This Backpack Coloring Page Outline gives kids a clear school-day object to decorate and personalize. Children can spot the shoulder straps, roomy main compartment, front pocket, and zipper pulls as they choose colors for each part. It is a friendly activity for preschoolers and early elementary students who enjoy pretend school, packing, and getting ready for class. Invite children to draw one small item inside the backpack, such as a book, lunchbox, or pencil case, after coloring. For a simple classroom activity, use the page to talk about what belongs in a backpack and how to keep school supplies organized. Try this after coloring: For a one-minute pretend-packing game, have the child name three things to put in the backpack and point to where each item would go. After coloring, let children draw a tiny lunchbox, book, or pencil inside the backpack and explain what they would use it for at school.
