Back to School Bags -

Each year near the end of Summer I create Back to School Bags for each of my children. Since we homeschool I have created bags for each child to make Back to School a fun tradition and not something to dread. We no longer wait for the big yellow bus and so we often forget to take a lot of first day pictures. These Back to School bags are filled with both fun and educational items that are new and specific to each child.

We make sure to include new notebooks, folders, and school supplies in each child’s favorite colors. Eldest prefers red, Princess like blue, Big Red likes green and Lil’ Red loves orange!

Here’s a sneak peak at what we put into Lil’ Red’s Back to School Bag:

I found some nice orange colored school supplies for his backpack like a spiral notebook, pocket folder and some Trident Gum. While I do not allow children to chew gum until they are old enough to chew and not swallow, Lil’ Red is now old enough. I can see passing out a piece of gum to keep little mouths quiet during read aloud time or anytime mom needs a quiet moment. I know that chewing gum will benefit our family and help my sanity!
