Three Cute Backpacks for 2013 Middle School Girls
Looking for something distinct from what you see in the stores? These are three really cute motifs from a longtime fave in the manufacture of backpacks and bookbags for kids of all ages. I love these for the middle school setting because of multiple compartments and fun design. Organization is essential from middle school onward in education, and this enables your daughter to establish some basic guidelines for keeping up. Calculators and electronics can be separated from books, important for limiting damage potential. Keeping pencils and pens in their own space is another ideal strategy so that there aren't stray marks, leaks of blue ink and crumbled erasers all over books. Hydration bottles on the outside of the bag, please...who wants to buy a water-damaged science book, after all?
Invest in a pencil box and tech cases for added protection. These colors are consistent with the energetic nature of the tween girls. I've watched time after time as middle schoolers gravitate toward wild color combinations and motifs, and I think that Jansport has captured the spirit of the pre-teen age group perfectly with these particular designs. You'll find many more options as you check out the pages for these, so keep your mind open. However, I know that I would have loved these even during my middle school years.

Blue Messenger Bag Styles in 2013
My preference for the messenger bag was established a year ago as I tried to manage many bags at a college orientation for my daughter. Believe me, the backpack was a serious problem, constantly slipping as I walked. Whether you are looking for a good bag for personal use or for a daughter, granddaughter, niece or friend, think about sparing that person's shoulders by providing a crossbody school tote! Really, I would have loved this design when I was in public school.
As you search, keep in mind that messenger bag design is more compatible with book organization and paper and notebook management. It's shaped much like a file, and books can fit more like they would in a file. There's room in many designs to separate folders and papers from the books. Contrast that with the stuff and shove mentality that goes with a backpack. Kids shove all kinds of things in with their books, and there's never an end to crumbled papers and broken pencils. Keep this in sight as you look for the right bookbag for a girl.
Check out the options shown below. You'll find many more options as you explore, many in fun motifs or simple shades of blue for enhancing your student's book carrying needs.

Hello Kitty Messenger Bags Galore!
Are you a fan of Hello Kitty? If your daughter or granddaughter loves the theme, then you will adore the variety of messenger bags available featuring the popular character. The color choices range greatly as do the accents. Some highlight just the kitty face while others feature the entire character. Whatever your fashion choice, you will appreciate the versatility of a messenger tote for girls.
Messenger school bags provide more sensible organizational options, working more with the shapes of books and notebooks. The stuffing into a backpack can create a disaster zone for a kid, but with a messenger, it's just a bit easier for girls of all ages to keep order with their school materials. Check out the varied pockets, flaps and straps as you consider how crossbody carrying can take a heavy load off of your daughter's back.
You'll find many examples of Hello Kitty school bags featured just below. You will also appreciate the fact that many more are available through these links. Check them out with your daughter as you look for the ideal girls' school bag for the coming year.

| Cute Jam Closet Backpacs for Girls |
If you are looking for a cute girls school bag with a fresh design emphasis, then I think you may just love the new releases from Jam Closet. The use of canvas is smart for the middle and high school age ranges, durable and trendy. Leather accents make this more of an upscale option, adding decorative emphasis while providing quality closures. The color combinations, I have to say, are fun and bright, great for the girl who loves to express her style through color. There are many solid color choices, but there are also great combinations as in the girls' backpack pictured above.

Tough Laptop Backpacks for Girls

| Tough Laptop Backpack for College or High School Girls |
If you are looking for reliable transport for your high school or college daughter's books and laptop, this is a great option. The design is attractive, created in the popular pink against a dark background. It's not too flashy, mature enough for the college scene. At the same time, it's got enough of a hint of fun to be cheerful and fashionable.
My daughter completed her first year of college with some challenges as she tried to use an oversized handbag to manage her laptop. It didn't work well, and since she likes to spend time at the campus library studying, she is investing in a more durable laptop bag. She wants the backpack for ease of transport.
The brand, iSafe, has lots of backpack and messenger bags for girls or boy. Designs are attractive and fashionable without overdoing the graphics. That's a good thing for upper level students as they transition into advanced studies. The backpack shown above, for example, could well carry a student through both high school and college years. You'll find similar backpacks with different color emphasis as you browse. Consider the messenger bag option as a durable alternative as well.

One Direction Messenger Bags

| One Direction Messenger Bags for Tweens |
The event of the Olympics that most impressed my tween daughter was the appearance of One Direction. I didn't realize that the song they played was so popular, but I guess I should have realized when the kids played it over and over a zillion times. It's funny how bands have an effect on tweens and younger girls...even older girls sometimes. Two decades ago, it was the New Kids on the Block. A few short years ago it was the Jonas Brothers. Now, One Direction is quite the thing. Finding One Direction messenger bags makes perfect sense if your upper elementary school or tween daughter are fans.
I love messenger bags as an alternative to backpacks. |

I think that for older girls in elementary and middle school they are easier to carry and easier to organize. Academic success can be tied in part to how well your child keeps her school bag organized. Lost homework, forgotten books and all sorts of other attention and management issues can affect grades. The messenger bag for your middle school daughter or upper elementary student isn't going to save the day all on its own, but you can improve your child's opportunity to succeed by providing good tools and helping her with appropriate management techniques.

Vertical Messenger Bags
 |
| Vertical Messenger Bags for Girls |
Most vertical messenger bags for girls are pretty and chic, but they don't work well as book bags for girls. They are generally too small to accomodate many textbooks, and wouldn't serve the organizational needs well at all. However, a vertical messenger bag can be an excellent accessory for your middle school daughter. Functioning more like a purse, the vertical messenger is great for storing school supplies, calculators, money and more. The crossbody strap makes it easier for her to hold onto her purse, an important feat at this level given the absentmindedness of many tweens. You'll find cute choices available through the image link provided.
