Back to School Ideas

1. PHOTO OP! First of all, you want to document how stinking cute your kids are as they return to school for a new year. We have made a few free printables for each child to hold for a quick photo op. Whether your child is starting preschool or 11th grade – have them pose for a quick photo with their sign. This is a perfect way to start out the year.

2. Personalized Notepads& Pencil Boxes: Grab a regular notepad or pencil box and let us personalize it for you! For $1.50 we will print out your child’s name on their notepad. OR grab one ready to go that says, “TAKE NOTE – MAKE IT A GREAT SCHOOL YEAR!” (for notepads) A great way to make your child feel special!

3. Special Lunch Gable Box: The first day back to school is definitely in need of a special lunch! Whatever you decide to pack, pack it in style with our homemade disposable lunch box. Tags could read, “A Lunch fit for a KING” or “A lunch fit for a princess” or “A special lunch for a special kid” Design your own label (superhero, second grade snacks, etc.) and attach it to one of our inexpensive gable boxes!

4. Gumball Jar: Set a jar full of colorful gumballs on the table for the kids to grab after school if they’ve had a good day. “A gumball a day keeps the back to school jitters away!” A good option if you kids who might be a little nervous going back to school.

BACKPACK SNACKS: (OR BREAKFAST PLATE TREATS)

These are designed to be small little packages perfect to leave on a breakfast plate, pack in a backpack, or place on a pillow the night before. We have designed the cutest tags, complete with striped bakers twine to finish it off! Available on our website.
