Dragan,
ah I see.
There is a similarity.
"Zuckertüte" was centuries ago a cone was made from paper to transport sugar. (a sheet of paper folded and clued to a near cone bag. (Is this a bag?)).
In the 19th century it becames a popular gift on the very first day on school. It's filled with school materials like pencils rulers and so on, small toys and - whats the name?- all kind of candy. (O.k. on some boring parts of germany they call it Schultüte) It's between 70 - 100cm tall. This the body it coud be filled beyond that. Compare with the the length of kid on that age!
If you like examples see
SdchultüteBut this is very german - and we feel sorry for your kids. What a lost celebration! ::)
In germany this counts like christening and it's on that level the first celebration to a person that one can experience. (Hope I get this right. The first important celebration to person that the person can celebrate itself.)
There is a official part hold by schoo authorities and a familiar part. Fills a whole day.
