Back-To-School Treats

Pin It Now!

I love to give my new students a little something special the first time they meet me.  Before the first day of school, our elementary has a "Meet the Teacher" day where students and their parents can drop off supplies, meet teachers, and tour the school.  In Texas, we can only have treats at school 3 days out of the year.  Well, our "Meet the Teacher" day falls before the start of school. I took advantage of this by giving them Blow Pop suckers! I have made lolli covers the old fashioned way before...cutting them out by hand & using computer images to decorate them. Well, Emma at My Creative Time had a fantastic tutorial for using your Gypsy to create lollipop covers.  Check it out here!  Using our school colors and mascot, I designed my own!!  I used Doodlecharms for the sweet little bear, Plantin Schoolbook for the lolli cover itself, embossed it with my Cuddlebug Argyle folder, and I printed the sentiment on my computer.  I think it will add a little sweetness to my classroom for that special day :)
