A "Schultüte" (or School Cone, even though the word "Tüte" translates more as "bag" from German; ), is a paper or plastic bag in form of a big cone.
When children in Germany, The Czech Republic, close to the borders with Germany, parts of Poland ( Greater Poland, Upper Silesia, Warmia), Austria, and parts of Switzerland set off for their first day in school upon entering first grade, their parents and/or grandparents present them with a big cardboard cone, prettily decorated and filled with toys, chocolate, candies, school supplies, and various other goodies. It is given to children to make this anxiously awaited first day of school a little bit sweeter.
