The Glow-in-the-Dark Backpack consists of a variety of materials and a glow in the dark substance (powder/pigment/plastic pellets) that allows it to glow in the dark. It has storage compartments (small and large) that allows the user to store books, supplies, etc. The compartments contain a zipper that allows it to close and secure the items stored. The small and large compartments of the backpack are sewn together.
