Back 2 School – A little something for the classmates

08/01/2012 15 Comments

My oldest son is heading back to school and I thought it would be fun for him to take a little something for each classmate on their first day of school.  So we made these Back 2 School Classmate Gifts – little packaged erasers for everyone.  They look like little candies, which we thought the kids would love.  Then all the kids get something useful on their first day of school too.

Back-2-School-Classmate-Gift These are very easy and your kids can totally help.

Supplies:

– Erasers (the dollar store is best for this)
– Wax paper
– Scissors

All you do is cut your wax paper in wide enough strips to have enough to twist on the ends gently so you don’t rip it.  You can make a cute little tag to go with each one if you want, I just haven’t decided if I want to do that or not yet.  So have fun and this is sure to be a fun little surprise to the classmates on their first day!

    My son would think Salt Water Taffy and bite through the eraser.

    LOL! You just made me giggle. I saw the picture on a link so I clicked on it thinking it was taffy, but they are erasers. I love this idea! My daughter is just starting school this year. This would be such a great back to school gift.
