Did you know?

The custom of giving children a cone-shaped bag when they start school dates back to the 18th century! The school cone was primarily given out to embellish the entry into the seriousness of life with a sweet consolation. Before the First World War, however, this tradition was still rather rare and mainly represented in Central Germany. Originally only given out at the beginning of school, nowadays confectionery bags are sometimes also given out at the transition to secondary school or at the start of training or studies - after all, who doesn't enjoy a colorful bag of presents? 

But what actually goes in a school bag? That is different. It used to be mostly sweets or useful things like a slate or pens. We have put together a few creative ideas for you on how to fill your school cone:
