10 Back to School Crafts
Are your kids excited about going back to school? Are you hopping around the house not too subtly singing: It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year? Whether they are thrilled or not, here are some great back to school crafts to get them in the mood for back to school!
Get Them Geared Up
Back to school can be a happy time for many people. Some kids miss school the moment they are out of that routine. Frankly, I look forward to the break.
When my one daughter was younger she would play school all year round, which kind of cracked me up. She’d teach all the young kids in the neighbourhood how to sit and print and read. She would love to make crafts that got her excited about going back to school.
