Angry Birds Messenger Bag
for tweens. |
If your tweens love the popular Angry Birds apps on their iPods, iPads, or android devices, then you may find that the theme will easily translate into a fun backpack choice. While tweens often leave character backpacks to younger kids, the Angry Birds theme isn't quite as "little kid" as some, and depending on your tween's interests, may be a great fit. Of course, defer to your tween, as tween boys will have a sense of what is acceptable in his peer circles, while tween girls may feel a little less inhibited in choosing character book bags.

While many parents might look at the Angry Birds craze as an extension of a silly video game, I think it's worth noting the great visual depiction of Algebra 2 concepts, with the depiction of parabolas as birds are aimed at a variety of structures. While algebra grades don't directly vary according to video game play, this is a great means of establishing an informal understanding of something that is often quite abstract. I'm sure the physics applications are even more impressive, though I'm not a physics teacher!
