Bluey Colour and Carry Backpack (includes 4 colouring pens) for ages 3+
Product description
What it is and why it’s handy
A Bluey Colour and Carry Backpack is a children’s backpack designed to do more than just hold bits and bobs. The front lets kids “colour-your-own” with the included pens, so the bag can feel personal rather than generic. On top of that, it’s got fun Bluey ears, which will land well with fans.
In day-to-day terms, it’s the kind of simple activity + storage combo that suits nursery trips, playgroup outings, or taking a few favourites on a day out. It’s also the sort of toy that keeps the hands busy when they’re waiting—paper colouring is one thing, but colouring something they can use straight away is a different mood.
Key features you can actually use
The appeal here is pretty clear from the concept: a branded backpack designed for colouring on the front, plus four pens to get started.
- Iconic Bluey backpack with a front panel made for colouring
- Fun Bluey ears for a recognisable look
- Includes 4 colouring pens to design and colour the bag
- Designed for children aged 3+ for school or playgroup carrying
Worth noting: because it’s a colouring-on-the-bag idea, it’s not really aimed at parents who want a fully “keep-perfect” item from day one. It’s meant to be decorated, so expect it to become more of a play object than a display piece.
The essentials for choosing this backpack
It makes sense if you’re buying for a child who likes Bluey and is at that stage where an item of their own helps with independence—packing a small favourite, carrying a drink or toy, or simply having somewhere to keep essentials.
It’s also a good fit if you want something that doubles as an activity. The bag isn’t just decoration, it’s designed for a use case (carrying items) and an engagement hook (colouring the front). On paper, that combination can feel like better value than buying separate “toy” and “storage” items.
It might not suit you if you’re looking for an unchanging, “don’t-touch” backpack. If your priority is long-term appearance with minimal marking, a plain backpack would probably be a safer bet.
What you’ll notice day to day
A practical strength of this type of bag is that it offers an outlet for creativity that’s visible. Once coloured, it tends to become a talking point—other children notice it, and it can even reduce the “why is my bag different?” moments.
For a micro example: imagine a playgroup morning where you lay out the pens at the kitchen table, the child colours the front panel while you get organised, then the finished bag goes straight into the day’s bag. Later, when they spot the Bluey design, they’re more likely to treat their belongings as “theirs”, which can make routines slightly easier.
Who it’s for, and who should look elsewhere
You’ll like it if your child is aged 3+ and enjoys colouring and character-themed toys, and you want a backpack that encourages creative play rather than staying strictly functional.
You may want to skip it if: - you’re buying mainly for durability and a pristine look - you prefer backpacks that don’t have an “activity” component - your child is older and may find a simple colouring front a bit limited (it can feel more like a starter activity than a long-term project)
No product is perfect, and this one leans into the creative concept. That’s the point—but it can leave less room for parents wanting a purely practical bag.

Should you buy it?
It’s worth buying if you want a character-themed backpack that also gives kids an easy creative job—especially for nursery, playgroup, and short trips where a small carry bag matters.
It’s not the best choice if you want a no-mess, no-decorating backpack, or if you’re expecting a more “serious” storage solution that won’t be used as a creative canvas.
The sweet spot is clear: younger Bluey fans who will enjoy colouring, and parents who like the idea of a backpack that’s part toy, part everyday carry.
