August is here and that means it’s time to gear up for Back to School. We are sharing our favorite Back to School ideas to help you say bye bye to summer break and get the kids ready for school in style. From Back to School party ideas & DIY crafts to our favorite Back to School Essentials by Minted, we got you covered with a few fun ideas we hope you love.
PICASSO INSPIRED ART STATION
The parents are excited about getting the kids back into their routines. The kids aren’t as thrilled to go back to school. So why not plan a Back to School Art Party to get them a little more excited about the new school year?
Our Picasso inspired art station is a fun way to get the kids creative indoors. You can plan a few Picasso inspired artwork and invite a small group of friends to join in on the fun and channel their inner Picasso.
BACK TO SCHOOL ART PARTY
If you love hosting small gatherings in the summer, this Back to School Art Party will get inspired to host your own. Whether you are inviting a group of kids or simply organizing a small party for your kids only, these simple ideas will get you into planning mode in no time.
BACK TO SCHOOL ESSENTIALS
Growing up in Brazil, the most exciting part of getting ready for back to school was selecting new school supplies and other back to school essentials. There was something really special about getting a brand new backpack with a coordinating lunchbox, pencil case and notebooks. And my kids are no different. My daughter, who is a cat lover, is in love with this Back to School Meadow Cats Collection. They can even be personalized with a foil-pressed leather name tag.
Let’s not forget about personalized back to school name labels. Great quality waterproof labels are top priority on our list of back to school essentials. From clothing to lunchboxes, I label as many personal belongings as I can.
Stylish Back to School Tablescape
Plan a Back to School get-together a few days before school starts complete with a stylish Back to School Tablescape. You can use clipboards as placemats to establish the theme of your table set up.
PETE THE CAT INSPIRED SCHOOL BUS DIY CRAFT
Plan an easy Pete The Cat school bus DIY craft for the little ones. My youngest who is starting kinder this year, absolutely loved working on this craft. We used tempera paint sticks (it dries completely in 90 seconds) and craft sticks for this fun back to school craft.
If you are a parent and has survived summer break this far trying to juggle work, family vacation and kids activities, please know you are not alone. I hope you can soak these last few weeks with the kids before sending them to their first day of school!
