This super-cute backpack craft and learning activity is a great way to build community with your students! It also helps students develop the critical skills of following step by step directions and speaking and listening to members of a group!
This product includes step by step directions with photos, printable templates in two spelling versions (favorite/favourite, color/colour), and a parent letter to help you create your own All About Me Paper "Bagpacks!"
Add some brown paper lunch bags, cardstock or construction paper, and a little creativity, and you've got a great community builder and display for Open House or Back to School Night!
Did a similar activity with my students, but this is adorable and great way to organize it and for students to display their info. Can't wait to use it at the beginning of next year!

A cute craft for the beginning of the year. Kids will love, and a good way to get to know students.
Thank you for your purchase-I'm sorry you're having issues. Are you using a mac? If so, make sure you open the file with Adobe Reader instead of the default viewer. Otherwise, here is a list of troubleshooting techniques for common download problems:

Hi Mrs H
Would you be able to tell me if it is possible for you to edit this bag with Aussie spelling or to let me know the font you used so i can do some cutting and pasting to make it correct. We love your things they are great.
I'm honestly not sure what the metric measurements are as I do not have a cm ruler here at home. I used a standard brown paper lunch bag, which measured 5 1/8 x 3 1/8 x 10 1/8 inches. I used a converter online, so this may not be exact, but it looks like it is about 13 x 8 x 26 cm. Hope that helps!
Hi, I tried to download the revised version of this again and I still got all the black lines and no words.
Can you please help me? I need this for my All About Me Unit. I would like begin preparation.
Thanks sooooo much!
Thank you for your purchase--I'm sorry you're having trouble. The following link should explain how to troubleshoot your download/printing issues. Typically black lines without words mean there is a problem with your version of adobe or you have an outdated print driver. If this troubleshooting tutorial does not fix the problem, please let me know:)
Any chance you could add questions (or update another page) with questions for older kids. I teach 3rd grade and those questions are great, but I liked the idea for adding favorite sport, goal for the year, what is something that you think no one knows about you, and/or what is your best quality? Let me know b/c I'd love to do it soon!
I just purchased your paper book bag and downloaded it to my Mac. When I open it there are black lines going over all the printed material and I can't read it at all ( I see no print just black thick black lines) Can you please help me I need this ASAP.
Thanks June

I purchased the paperbag bookbag and could not get the sheet with the questions to print, it appears blank and prints blank. All the other pages printed. I really want to use this and wrote about this problem and received an answer, but nothing works. Can someone please help solve this problem. Everything else I order prints right away.
Thank you!

Hi Mrs. H. I have downloaded your "All About Me Paper "Bagpack" Craftivity" and I am having trouble getting the whole thing to print. The "Thank you for your purchase and the first page came out nicely. I did update my Adobe, and I also downloaded some other activities on "teacherspayteacher" without a hitch. Do you have a suggestion on what I might be doing wrong? I do have a Macbook pro. I don't know if that could be an issue or not. Thanks. D. Riley
I'm sorry you're having trouble. I don't know much about Macbooks, but usually the problem is with an older version of Adobe. Since that doesn't seem to be your problem, you might want to check out this link which has tips for downloading tpt materials using Mac computers.
This is my sixth year teaching first grade, and I could not imagine myself anywhere else! From teaching my firsties how to read to celebrating the 100th day of School in super-hero style, I absolutely love it!
