Download: Backpack Checklists for Younger and Older Kids (Understood.org)

Description:

Getting your child's backpack organized is a feat worth celebrating. But making sure he puts in everthing he needs for the trip to school and back can take some work.  A luggage tag checklist is an easy way to help your child keep track, without it being obvious to other kids.

All you have to do is buy an inexpensive clear luggage tag to attach to the backpack's zipper pull.

Take out the address label and replace it with this printable checklist. Customize the "To School" and "To Home" sides to reflect the things your child must have with him.  You can make each side a different color. He can check the tag before he heads out to school and again before he leaves for home.
