Creative school cones in the district: Peter's Pokémon bag is convincing!

The time has finally come: the new school year has begun, and the first graders welcome their school days with bright school cones. September 18, 2025 marks an important phase in life for many children, and everyone in the district is talking about the creative school bags from the little ABC shooters. Particularly exciting: A reader survey was carried out about the most beautiful school cones and the results show that the design of these colorful companions is very popular.

The big winner this year is Peter with his unique Pokémon school cone, which received 25% of the votes. Together with his grandmother Evi Schiefele, he designed a bag that perfectly implemented his personal ideas in terms of colors and materials. In second place came Finn from Deffengen, whose dragon school bag with the popular character “Toothless” from “How to Train Your Dragon” received 23% of the votes. A special highlight: Finn's bag was sewn by his mother Annika Hindelang and the production was also complex - the family invested an impressive 15 hours into it!

Creativity knows no limits

Paul from Jettingen-Scheppach secured third place. His school cone, lovingly decorated with shells that he collected on vacation in Italy, was also well received by voters and reached 19%. Paul drew and cut out the motifs himself on paper and rubber moss. These individual and creative school cones have won the hearts of voters and show that there is a very personal story in every school cone.

But what actually makes the school cone so special? Traditionally, it marks the transition from kindergarten to school and is considered one of the highlights of the first day of school. Homemade school cones are not only a personal companion, but also a cost-effective way to add your own style. The numerous craft instructions even include practical tips for filling the bags. In addition to classic school supplies such as pencil cases and colorful writing materials, these can also include sweet treats that will sweeten this special day for the children.
