How to Tell Kids Backpacks Apart at School (Without a Name Tag)

Short answer: Use a distinctive photo, color, symbol, zipper pull, patch, handle wrap, or strap accessory to help kids tell similar backpacks apart. The best identifier is easy for the child to describe and recognize from several feet away.

Use one obvious cue

A single bright or familiar detail can work better than many small decorations.
