My kids need art smocks for school use. Is this smock sturdy enough to send to school?

My daughter used it, it was nice beacuse it covered her entire school uniform. Kind of reminds you of a doctor's coat and it lasted her all school year. It's not the best paint smock out but for kids in elementary school who are doing picasso paintings it will work fine. Keep in mind the material is not heavy.

I think you should have a few on hand, but I'd send it to school. It's thin and light . I love the long sleeves. My daughter is only 4 so it's huge on her but super effective for painting and such. We've never ripped one and still use the same few (for play with friends) we first bought a while ago. Id definitely buy more.

Yes, I would say it could hold up for that. The material was great for the art class my granddaughter was taking. She's just four, so it was nice to just cut off the excess of the sleeves so they had just the right length.

I would say yes, they are sturdy enough. I use them as bins for our shoes in our mud room and they've taken quite a beating and have held up nicely.

It would be fine for an adult who is willing to use some care opening and closing it. I'm not sure how it would hold up with a child, it is not a real heavy material and it does of course have a zipper, neither of which I have had a problem with. I have been using it for about 3 months as my primary closet and have had zero problems with it. I even have a few items stacked on top of it. I have been very happy with it. Hope I have answered your question

I think so, I have it loaded with clothes and holding up well! Hope this helps!

It is fairly sturdy but I don't think it would support boxes of books but I have a container of knitting & crocheting things on top of it. I love the 2 I have and need 1 more!!!

I have a 3 years old toddler and I'm using it for her color pencils and crayons, It is pretty sturdy and big enough for the whole set of big crayons.

No they're very sturdy and stiff, I got them to use in a garment bag as I didn't want them bending either, or sagging through handling but they would work perfectly in the closet to hold heavy garments like jeans. Very good quality.

Not really sure of your question... if you mean are they heavy duty enough to draw around the letter, then yes, they are pretty sturdy. My daughter was going to use them to draw/trace letters onto material.... Good luck

Good Question...but I think so. Know that they are not rigidly stiff (can bend some)....but would give extra protection, especially if clothing is also packaged in plastic. I purchased this chipboard to ship photos...and protect mailing envelope from bending too much.

I am a teacher so I laminated it myself. I plan on using it multiple school years. It made the colors pop and gave it more durability. If simply hanging in a bedroom or dorm I think it would be just fine as is.

Hi Alexander - for personal use - this might be okay. I purchased one for use in an elementary school and it wasn't sturdy enough for school use. The plastic is a little 'hard' and feels like it will snap and we did break one on the first day..... So - if you are a gentle and careful with things - maybe it's for you - but I would hesitate to recommend it. Colleen

It is a sturdy cardboard, doubled for strength. I have colored art paper for grandchildren stored on it and it's held up for almost a year. However, the grandchildren are not visiting too often during the school year as they live out of town.

It is sturdy. It is a coated cover and back, and will withstand all the cramming and opening and closing. My daughter is not the best at keeping her backpack, tidy, and she seems to find every book under the sun to cram in it. I feel really good about the planner, lasting this next school year.

HI kARII don't know the answer to this question. I am not sure this will help but my son's height is 41.5"/37lbs he is three years old. The smock fit him well. Not that your asking but don't waste your money. The paint goes through the smock.

It's pretty sturdy - I actually used it to go away to school with my teen holding pods of liquid laundry detergent! Didn't expect him to need too many ;-). You couldn't stand on it or anything, & depending on how it got banged it might pop open. But it lived at the bottom of a heavy bag that was carried around for a couple months before he remembered it was there, & it stayed intact, & pods inside were fine.

The only problem I had was one student who wiped her messy paint covered hand across her apron. The regular bumping up onto the paper or brush during regular use did not bleed through. I guess it would depend on the messiness level of the kids. We used the smocks for over a year with just the one situation.

Yes it is.. If its a younger child though I would bolt it to the wall.. its just flimsy enough that I wouldn't trust it around kids under 6 without it being braced. ( Personally use this for socks, undershirts,etc)
