It is the middle of July and the “Back to School” campaigns has begun at all of the retail stores. It is hard to believe that summer is almost over and a new school year is about to begin. So I decided that I wanted to start a new tradition for my kids and throw a back to school party to get excited about seeing friends and the new year ahead. Change is hard for my son and I really wanted to end the summer on a great note and to set the tone for first grade with a positive vibe.
I have planned the party at a local park in August, just a few days before school starts, with activities such as a back-pack relay, balance the ruler race, sack races and much more. Everyone will bring their own lunch and a pencil to exchange with their friends along with a snack idea to share for the moms ~cause we run out of ideas quickly.
The party favors are simple ~ a school supply bar filled with erasers, pencil topper, glue sticks, sharpeners, post-its and a few other goodies ~ which is sure to set the mood for school to begin.
So check back in the middle of August to see how the full party comes together. Should be a great day and I know my kids will have a blast swapping summer adventures with their friends.
Enjoy the rest of summer ~ Nicole
