Oompa Toys & Back To School
August 13, 2008 by Laurie
Filed under Contests, Product Reviews
Oompa Toys, (I love the name!) has an endless selection of toys for your special little someone, as well as, lunch boxes and bags for heading back to school!
In my case, my little guys are too little for school, but will be traveling in style to Grandma’s house, play
dates, and on trips through the airport with their Dante Beatrix backpacks for toddlers. These Little Kid Backpacks are the absolute cutest ever! The one large interior pouch is perfect for carrying your child’s favorite things, including crayons, snacks or clothes for Grandma’s house. You can choose from Penguin, Bee, Bunny, Shark, Pig, Lion, and Polar Bear ($36). The bags are made of lightweight nylon so it is easy for your little one to carry. You can spot clean with a damp cloth and the back and adjustable shoulder straps are padded.
My two already love their backpacks, and have not wanted to take them off since they have gotten them! They love holding hands an walking together. Another adorable little feature of these backpacks is the little Dante Beatrix tag on the back that says “Eat your Vegetables”…so cute!
Oompa toys has so much more, that I found myself browsing for well over an hour at their site. I will be making my visit there for Christmas shopping this year too. I didn’t think there could be so many wonderful things for kids all in one place!
I would definitely recommend you check out Oompa toys for a cool backpack for back to school, as well as, for a fun shopping experience!
As part of the back to school fun, Oompa toys and DoubleBugs will be giving away one of these Dante Beatrix backpacks to one lucky winner.
