apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

rocks and lizards.

My little guy (who is getting big rather quickly) totes around a selection of notebooks and colored pencils to write and draw his own comic books. Superheroes are the order of the day, and I get to be the test reader for each new issue.

A handful of Hot Wheels, paper, markers, and his Leapster.

About a million Hotwheels, Harold and the Purple Crayon, Darth Vader and some Pop Rocks!

again, Hot Wheels, and any other car that makes a noise.

for us, it would probably be easier to ask the question, what wouldn't be carried in there? My little one would carry anything that could fit...and things that couldn't fit would definitly be attempted to fit.

B would carry trucks, tractors, trains and cars.

My daughter LOVES bags. She is constantly filling up random bags with the "items of the day" They include but are not limited to notebooks, writing utensils of all varieties, polly pockets, stuffed animals, play makeup & hair accessories. The Loopy Loops Pink would be fabulous!

School supplies and little "girlie stuff"

My daughter would undoubtedly tote around her Hannah Montana doll collection!

tiny baby doll, chapstick, lotion, hair clips, sticky notes, crayons.

My son would carry all of his Thomas the Trains in it. (Love the name, my daughter's name is Ellie and we call her Ellie Belly.)

I would like to think he would use it specifically for his library books, but my son would probably stuff it with empty boxes, his beloved stuffed puppy, and all sorts of random toy pieces from around the house. :)

My daughter, right now, would probably tote around her Webkinz. My son would tote around his cars and trucks, for sure!

Our daughter Harper would use her messenger bag to tote around books, crayons, paper, and her Ugly Doll.

would have to be all things lego and starWars

crayons & zoo animals.

Coloring "stuff" - crayons, pencils, etc.

lunch and books

Princesses, dinosaurs, and seashells.

a few (thousand) matchbox tractor trailers and anything Peterbilt

My son and his blocks are inseperable

"Green Eggs and Ham", a packet of fruit snacks, and his handy-dandy Blues Clues-inspired notebook.

my daughter would have all her favorite books, her paper to write on, notepads, sparkly gel pens, her play makeup and lip gloss, her toy cell phone, and a barbie doll in it!

my son would love this to put his Nintendo and games and some books in!!!

a lot of leaves, a sketch pad and his stock portfolio!

You-name-it!!! Definitely some snacks for the road. ;-) Toys and mostly paper and markers to draw.

Elizabeth would carry her My Little Ponies and her stuffed Kitties

My niece would carry books and her 'jewels.'

Crayons, car, bottle cap, hair elastic, sock, doll arm, spatula, purple rubber dragon, a couple of puzzle pieces, random receipts, and anything else she finds around the house.

Her workbooks, crayons, and pencils.

Even though my twin 5 year olds will fight over this cute bag, I am willing to deal with that for a chance to win this tote.

My daughter would tote around all of her stuffed animals!!! This is really cute!!! Please enter my name, THANKS!!

my grandson would bring his favorite toys in the bag when he comes to visit Grandma! alot of cars

art supplies I am sure would be in there and candy too.

How adorable. Thank you for offering this giveaway. My little guy loves anything to do with arts and crafts and will more than likely carry his crayons, rulers, paper and stuff like that. Thank you again.

crayons,drawing paper and her umbrella and some snacks

My son would need this bag for toy cars and rubber snakes, spiders and cockroaches.

My daughter would carry her PSP and Ipod.

Well, let's see. Yesterday it would have been: his stuffed monkey (the bla bla one) named Fuzzy, a box of Triscuits, all the change from his piggy bank, and a picture of me and his daddy. (He was running away). He put it all in a mesh bag, but it would have made for a much more stylish getaway in one of these messenger bags. (And don't worry, he came back to the kitchen after not too long, realizing there would be no one to tuck him in.) Most days, stuff in the bag would be notebooks and writing implements, and a variety of things collected while out and about (acorns, rocks, leaves etc.). And usually some tiny stretchy robots who are his constant companions.

cars, trucks, crayons, a book and water among other things.

My daughter would certainly tote around her dolls and books in this bag! She loves bags and loves books. Right now she puts them in a little felt bag, but there really isn't enough room for everything she tries to stuff in there!

sarahmarie dot pemberton at gmail

My daughter would carry her elephants, her travel magnadoodle, her wallet with her "credit cards", and some fruit crisps and soy beans in case she gets hungry. Oh, and the fly swatter. She's obsessed with that today.

My daughter would carry around her books (she loves them), blocks and of course her Weebles!

Her American girl doll with accessories!

These are so cute!!! My daughter would carry around her sunglasses, books, and her backyardigans toys. :)

Her baby doll!

Books. She would drag around as many books as she could stuff in there.

trains, flowers, grass, toy tools and cars...what else???

His nintendo DS, games and accessories, and his Superhero figurines!

Mine would put all his cars in, and then find some random trash and inventions to put in. Today he made a "spear gun" with an old sprayer and my knitting needles :-P

My little guy would pack up his pokemon toys!

Greetings, What cute messenger bags. I prefer messenger bags to a purse myself! My son would use it indoors for all of his gear. Toy cars, his baseball cards, etc. Outdoors, he would take his cd player, maps, etc. to his fort! Please enter me in your wonderful contest. Thanks,Cindi

My daughter would put all of her "important things" as she calls them in there which would consist of sunglasses, my little ponies, paper, pencil, lip gloss and a handful of change she carries around.

his kitty

On a serious level my 4 year old daughter is OBSESSED with purses and bags. That would be great except the poor little thing has my narrow shoulders so the straps are always slipping off of her shoulders and it becomes a battle to get her to hold your hand in a crowded place when she has a backpack or bag on. This would save the battle and fill her need for a stylish bag!

She would fill her bag with...
1) lipgloss because that is her other obsession (thanks Bonnie Bell)
2) Vtech Smile handheld game
3) At least 1 Princess book (usually 2)
4) 1-2 Princess dolls
5) Coloring book & crayons
6) About 1,000 stickers to share with the world
7) Bottle of water
8) Snacks
9) Sunglasses
10) All of my change and the money she always manages to get people to give her just because she is cute (seriously this kid is a cash cow!)

Depending on the day it might be more but rarely ever less. At some point because of the handholding in crowds rule I end up having to carry the bag and to be honest, while I do love Tinkerbell I don't really feel the need to sport her on a backpack at my age! This bag could really be the answer to my prayers. :-)

Rocks, baby dolls, worms, and anything else she could find.

Maybe I could get her to carry her own things instead of putting them in my bag.

I think my daughter would like to carry around all the contents of our refridgerator in her bag.

disarray at onebox dot com

As many Matchbox cars that would fit! Preferable all firetrucks and ambulance ones!

Books, blocks, and princess accouterments.

legos, lots and lots of legos

that is so sweet and my grandson just loves putting his toys into boxes, pots and pans..lol and this sure would be a quiet way for him to do that lol.
Thank you for the contest.

These are cute bags... I really like the pink and brown one, personally. Our little one would probably fill it with rocks and sticks at the moment since that's what he is in to! :)
Thanks,
Marissa

Cars, cars and more cars.

They will assemble all their information for a scandalous tell-all book about their horrible upbringing.!

My husband and I have been having this argument ever since we found out we were having Jake. My first son loved to carry around a "purse" just like mommy. My husband will have nothing to do with that - I think that is so sad! It is just pretend. This would be a great compromise! I know Jakey would love to tote around all his "must haves" like his lovey, his "computer" and his paci, of course!

My toddlers would fill it up with anything they can get their hands on that doesn't belong to them...which occasionally means my makeup, toilet paper from the bathroom, or my panties (after raiding my drawers while I wasn't looking).

My 3 1/2 year old actually does pretend to be Clark Kent. He wears safety goggles which symbolize Kent's glasses. Right now he is into action figures and playmobile so I know he would put some of his "mens" in his bag, gloves (he loves gloves), his toy tools, and a snack if I would give it to him!

My ellie bellie would carry shoes, an apple and probably some rocks or leaves.

My daughter would put everything she could get her hands on in this bad: Her DVDs, Stuffed animals, Diapers, Toys, Her baby brother... Okay, maybe not him.

Jackson would love to have a "man-bag" just like his daddy. He would carry all his essentials:

*treats for our boston terrier (his best friend)
*his first tooth (no way is he 'giving it away' to the tooth fairy)
&
* "Bartelby" his other best buddy http://www.blablakids.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=B&Product_Code=120990

A few things my son would carry are:

* Trains (Thomas, Percy, and a couple generic ones)

*His favorite books: "A train goes Clickety Clack" by Johnathan London and Eric Carle's "From Head to Toe"

*A few random photos of family and friends

* A vaccum if he could!!!!! (that's the latest obsession)

My two year old son would carry a collection of books, crayons, and other toys to entertain himself in the car on trips.

toys and art supplies.

What wouldn't my son carry in it would probably be a shorter answer. He loves to pack anything he can find into anything that is bag-esque. I'm sure we'd use it when we went to the library as well.

My daughter would probablyput "letters" in it

Her backup play stuff for when we go somewhere and maybe a snack or two.

Thanks for the contest!

I think the more apt question is what wouldn't my kids tote around in it! :) Books, stuffed animals, toys, snacks, and anything else they'd be able to fit in there. What an awesome bag! :)

My kids like to carry their "treasure" around with them. You know, important things like rocks and junk mail :-)

Hmmm...my little lady would carry the things she has in her princess purse right now probably: play money, rubber fishies, and her doll's bib.

my girls would carry around Polly's, Littlest Pet Shop toys and Babie's!
those are so cute!

This would be great for the Pokemon cards.

cards and games

My kid would probably be picking up rocks, but I think the library books are a good idea!

Probably the cat!

My daughter would use it on plane rides for her books, DVD player and toys.

Most likely it would end up full of dry cereal, like her pockets. I swear my kid is part hamster.

All his traveling toys

found goodies from our walk

my daughter is a bookhound so alot of books!

Diesel the train, Ella the elephant, thomas books, clifford videos, and a snack of course!

Elmo or her Bunny

My 2yr. old daughter would put in whoever is her "babies" for the day. Today it is her fur real bunny and 3 (plushie) snakes.

Little notes written by her friends, shiny trinkets she picks up here and there, a pencil or two, a few pieces of unopened candy, her tiara, a Polly Pocket or two, a small toy of unknown origin, a little dirt mixed with a little glitter, nail polish, Hannah Montana stickers, a crumpled picture of her Grammie...the list is endless. Who ever knew my daughter would be such a packrat?!?!?!!

Legos & books would def be carried around!

My niece would love it! to carry her drawing stuff, various papers, pencils, crayons, pastels etc.
Thanks! :)

Oh, that's easy.

My 3 1/2 year old son would put his wand in his bag. This a very special wand that right now spends most of its time in his belt loop. This wand is not only a magical tool, but is magical itself. In the blink of an eye, this wand can change into whatever it S needs at the moment. It can be a sword for Sir S, or a 'pewer' (as in pew, pew, pew with my ray gun) for Super Hero S. The wand has also lent its services as a raft for bears stranded on a sinking sofa ship. The wand can become a firehose for Fireman S, or a snake that will slither up the legs of big sister. And of course, the wand is frequently used by Wizard S in his adventures.

I suppose you could say that my son would put his imagination in his bag, but no bag is that big.

extracurricular sportsgear! including a towel, extra socks and shampoo etc!

What would they carry? If it was my older daughter, it'd surely be lip gloss, some books, sunglasses, and 1,000 scraps of paper with random words written on them. My younger girl would most likely carry rocks.

Hmm, it would be full, drawings and art supplies, cereal bar, jar box, blanket, leapster, giraffe (a stuffed one but she'd tote around a full size one if she could) books, a muscial instrument the louder the better and a random assortment of rocks, coins, bits of paper and anything that to most would seem like rubbish but to her is a treasure

My kids would shove anything and everything in there. We'd probably find a bunch of blocks, their plastic camera, a few pieces of jewelry, whatever dolls would fit, the entire Little People family, and a few ponies just to name a few.

Books, Crayons, color books, juice, snacks, all that good stuff...

small toys, coloring book & crayon set, teddy bear, books.

I'd love them to carry their library books and videos so I don't have to keep track of them but knowing my girls, it would be stuffed with costumes and play wigs!

Sponge Bob Squarepant, colors and books.

My daughter would put her laptop in it

Books, Nintendo DS & games, dolls, toys, etc. :) A little bit of everything.

a book and her drawing tablet with markers

It would be just the right size for my son't laptop.

princess dolls and outfits

My 3 year old toddler would tote around his 2 favorite items in this messenger bag. His favorite toys are his Webkinz Mini Penguin who is with him constantly and which he plays with all day long and his favorite matchbox car which we got in a box of Cheerios.

This bag would be the most stylish tote for crayons and coloring books my daughter would ever have!

My daughter, McKenzie, would carry around her sketch pad and pencils, her spongebob mp3 player and her Nintendo Ds. She also informed me to add chaptick,bubblegum and her build a bear, Angel's, extra dress. She totally loves to look Kewl and be like her Mom! She looked at the messenger bags and fell in love with the brown and pink Messenger Bag by Ellie Bellie Kids!
