The first day of school is exciting, nerve-racking and exhausting. I can’t image how my kids must feel. The stress of new teachers, routines and expectations is hard. Each year I’ve put together a little back to school treat to help remind them they are special and this school year will be the best one yet.
You Rule snack mix
I threw this back to school treat together in just a few minutes. You don’t have to pour hours into creative and crafty projects. This treat requires minimal supplies and store-bought snacks. Simple is sometimes better. To make this treat I used:
- CD/DVD sleeves I bought on Amazon
- Snack mix-I bought M&Ms, Kix cereal, Cheez-Its and pretzel sticks
- I found this idea and the printable here
Latte Fun
These latte cups are another example of a simple and quick back to school treat. This treat requires a couple more supplies and a bit more time, but is still easy to put together.
- 1 patterned piece of scrapbook paper-I chose polka dots
- pencils-I picked a couple colored ones
- Large suckers
- Candy to fill the cup-I used Laffy Taffy
- White shredded paper
- I used publisher make this labels. I’ve uploaded them here
- Drink cups-I bummed these off my favorite barista
At Mommy Baggage, we make a big deal about going back to school. Check out our Back to School party as well as our traditional milk and cookies after school snack party. My boys look forward to these special parties every year.
Happy Adventuring, Rochelle
