Okay, so my kids go back to school in less than a month and I’m sure some of your kids have gone back already – that’s just crazy! The summer has totally flown by!
I have ALWAYS loved shopping for back to school clothes and supplies, both when I was a kid and now for my own kids. I think that’s why I’ve thought it would be so fun to throw a back to school party, just so I can buy school supplies to use as party decor or favors.
Back to School Party Favor
So here’s my fun little back to school treat idea – a gumball pencil!
To make, simply fill a clear plastic tube with a pink gumball, silver sixlets, yellow gumballs and a Hershey’s kiss. Add a fun printable tag and attach with baker’s twine!
Clear tubes can be purchased from The TomKat Studio shop and I bought my gumballs and sixlets at my local party supply stores. The free printable tag can be downloaded from Amanda’s Parties To Go.
I couldn’t resist buying some school supplies and adding to the photo 🙂
I think these would make a great little gift for teachers, kids or as favors at your back to school party! Hop over to my blog for some more back to school ideas including lots of fun, free printables!
Now here comes the real question…are you excited for the kids to go back to school, or dreading it? Me…excited!
