Back To School Socks

Home Is Where The Heart Is.

(artwork by my little daughter from the first week of school)

Welcome Friends! 

I'm back as promised with another Back To School idea for your kids!

We have school uniforms at our school, so shoes and socks become

something that brings a little versatility and fun to the wardrobe!

So here's the scoop....

A Back To School Banner with socks for each day of the week!

 I found the cutest socks at Payless Shoe Store.

Fill the socks with  notes of encouragement for a great school year along

with school supplies and small treats, or whatever you choose.

The socks are attached with clothes pins onto red ribbon.

I covered the clothes pins with Back to School ribbon.

(There are six socks, one pair for the weekend.)

I think the weekend socks are great for putting a note of something

FUN TO DO ON THE WEEKEND!

The fun part is filling the socks.

My daughter joined in on the fun and added

My Little Pet Shop toys.

You can also add Back To School items in your socks

from my previous post found here.

Enjoy!

Throughout the years of your childs education,

 secretly give your child's teacher this book to sign

at the end of each school year. 

Present this gift/book to your son/daughter on

Graduation Day(Senior Year) from High School!

I'm going to include

 a picture of my child's first day of Kindergarten, along with  pictures of their teachers throughout the years. 

If you have missed a few years, it's never to late! 

I'm back tracking a few years for my youngest one!

I love this gift idea for the TEACHER on The First Day Of School!

Back To School Fairy

 

Wow, it doens't seem possible that school is getting ready to start again!

I  have mixed emotions about it all.

I'm happy to get back into a routine again.

I'm not sure if I'm ready to be busy with school activities, homework, sports etc.

 I must say, summer went by way too fast!

Here are some FUN ideas for BACK TO SCHOOL!

This year the Back to School Fairy will be visiting!

My kids don't know about a Back To School Fairy.. it will be a surprise!

The door bell will ring very early in the morning on the first day of school.

At the door will be Back to School gifts for a new school year!
