Our son goes to school proudly wearing his Gruffalo on the back! Both, bag and Doudou, it is all the adventures. Only flat, it is a bit small (just enough room for a snack, bottle of water and a little jacket. Even the mistress crack, then was placed a little emergency bag inside for any booklets or crafts! As for the scarf, once in the classroom, it was put around the neck so that Gruffalo'm not cold, so everything is still tidy!
