'I hope your summer is "chalk" full of fun!' -Classmate/Classroom Year- End Gifts

The school year is ending this month and the countdown to summer holidays is on!

My son, age 7, helped me make up some little end-of-the-year gifts to hand out to his classmates on the last day of shool:

I picked these up at the dollar store (Dollarama for my fellow Canadians) for $3 each. I actually only needed 1 box as there are 20 kids in my son's class and each box has 40 pieces of chalk.

All we did was add 2 pieces of chalk into snack-size Ziplock bags and fold the labels over the bags and staple them. Super easy!

I didn't have colour ink in my printer at home, so I made some labels with the suns in black & white, then we coloured in the suns using pencil crayons!

I am sharing the version with the suns in colour, as well as the black & white version.

Each 8.5 x 11 printable I am sharing has 2 labels on it. You can have your child sign their name on the labels and cut them to fit over snack-size or regular Ziplock bags.

Download the black & white labels here.

Coming soon.... what we're doing for a year-end teacher gift this year!

"Have a happy summer, Smartie!" {End-of-the-Year Classmate Gifts}

The school year is winding down around here. My son will be finished kindergarten next week & I wanted to put together a little something for everyone in his class......

I bought the orange bags from Target. A pack of 20 for only $1.

The Smarties were $0.69 each from the dollar store.

And the bubbles came in packs of 6 for $2 from the dollar store.

So of course each bag had a box of Smarties + a thing of bubbles......

I made up the labels on my computer, then printed them off on white cardstock. 

I wrote this simple message:

"Have a happy summer, Smartie!

From: Jason"

When I read the label to my son, he laughed like crazy, so apparently I chose the right caption for my audience of 5 and 6 year olds! Ha! :)

Today his class had their year-end class party since there are a bunch of school-wide activities planned for next week. These bags were a hit with the kindergaten kids!!
