“I want to thank you for such a wonderful product!  They are a huge hit at our library, and the kids go crazy for them. I appreciate what great selections of products are in the bags.” Jessica Haught, Children’s Department, Birchard Public Library of Sandusky County

Sprout Early Learning Backpacks are perfect for parents, schools, child care centers, preschools, and libraries. There are currently 33 different backpacks. Libraries, schools, and other community organizations in 30 states have ordered the backpacks for their patrons to check out.

The backpacks are brimming with high-quality early learning materials, books, and activities, with activity guides that make learning fun! All materials are developmentally appropriate for young children and teach valuable concepts children need to know for school success. The activity guides provide easy-to-follow instructions, along with tips for in-home connections and ideas to stimulate conversation that supports learning.

 

Similar to the Sprout Early Learning backpacks, Little Sprouts backpacks support Ohio's Infant/Toddler Guidelines. These backpacks give parents and caregivers easy-to-follow activities and in-home suggestions to make learning fun and easy.  Each Backpack is themed and typically includes several picture books, two to three educational games or toys, and an activity guide showing how to use the items.
