In some cases, children are preparing to go back to school after over a year away due to COVID-19. Unsurprisingly, this brings with it a great deal of anxiety, as students have to readjust to the social pressures that come from being around their peers for six hours a day. Making matters worse, the CDC is now recommending that kids in grades K-12 wear a mask, regardless of their vaccination status. Putting aside the psychological and health implications of this, that is a whole new article of clothing they have to worry about being bullied for!
And the mask is not the only one. In recent years, more and more schools have mandated that backpacks must be either clear plastic or mesh, so that their contents can be seen by teachers and administrators at all times. This means, sadly, that your child will not be allowed to use her beloved Peppa Pig backpack—that is, if you were even able to find one.
With the coronavirus throwing a wrench in the normal development product pipeline, there has not really been time for major backpack companies to come out with clear or mesh backpacks with designs that make kids smile (let alone popular among their classmates). Most simply have the brand’s logo on them, whether it is JanSport, Herschel, or something athletic like Adidas or Under Armour.
Surely, as clear backpack mandates become standard, this will change. But in the meantime, Expersion is the only brand out there that offers such a backpack with a specific theme. The American flag-themed design of this backpack will make your patriotic child feel proud of what is on the outside, rather than embarrassed about what is on the inside. We hope that during this stressful time for kids everywhere, displaying their love of country at school will help them persevere through whatever school throws at them.
The Expersion U.S.A. clear backpack comes in four colors (black, blue, grey, and pink) and can be purchased at Amazon or Walmart.com:

School is out, the tide is in, and summer 2022 is a-go. Though the beach was one of those places you could still travel to even at the height of COVID restrictions, the repeal of mask mandates and negative testing requirements sure make the whole experience much more appealing.
Of course, going to the beach for the first time in years likely means you are in need of supplies. If that is the case, you came to the right place. In recent weeks, We Know Products has written about a variety of beach gear, including a beach table, vacuum-insulated margarita tumblers, and an American flag beach umbrella. Here is another one to add to the list: rubber tote bags.
Now, longtime WKP readers know we are partial to the clear tote bags with U.S. flag patches. But we have also heard from fans who say they like the Expersion totes for going to games and concerts, but that they also want something a little more spacious for beach trips. This rubber tote fits the bill.
As you can see from the item’s title, this bag is literally “oversized,” so you will have zero problem fitting in everything you need to haul down from your hotel room to the shore.
