That sounds like a fun challenge! Here are some unique ideas for Anything But a Backpack Day:
Laundry Basket: Use a colorful laundry basket and fill it with your school supplies. You could even throw in some clothes or stuffed animals for extra flair.

Animal Backpack: Grab a stuffed animal or plush toy that you can wear like a backpack—it’ll definitely be a conversation starter!
Choose something that reflects your personality and have fun with it! Good luck!
