This is a rare Dora the Explorer backpack. They call this a synched backpack. It's more like a Dora bag which can be worn like a backpack or carried by the top handle.

Kids love toys but at time it's nice to get them something a bit more practical. A quality backpack is something they will love because it's Dora, but it will also be useful and used much more than just another toy.
Something as simple as putting on a backpack featuring their favorite character Dora can help them be at ease when heading out to school. Trust me I've been there trying to get a reluctant child out the door and telling them they can show off their Dora backpack to their classmates can help motivate them.
