Vegbee from Blueprints shares a pattern for making this backpack for your toddler. The opening is just a flap of fabric that overlaps with the body of the bag, no zips or snaps to make it difficult for young hands to get things in and out of the bag. The pattern is offered for free, but a small donation via Paypal is requested. Go to the pattern.
