I don't know what I was thinking. As if I didn't have enough to do to prepare for the first day of school tomorrow. Today I found a fun starter/ice breaker activity using Skittles. Now I could have just handed out candy at the beginning of the activity, but I decided that I needed to make something cute to hold the Skittles and brighten their desks for the first day of school.
I whipped out my Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge and cut these fun little bags. The half circles were the inside of the handles. Originally I also cut little tags to go on them with their names, but decided tying all those on would be too time intensive for tonight. I just wrote their names on the bags. In addition to these, everyone will get a bookmark and maybe a pencil (I have to see what I have when I get to school tomorrow.
I'm hoping for a fabulous start to the school year tomorrow!
At Albertsons on the way home tonight (when I stopped to pick up the Skittles), I saw this in the parking lot. It made me smile, and of course started the jingle running through my head. The only bummer was that by the time I picked up the boys and went back, it was gone :( They did tell me they saw it driving down the road on the way back from the movies with Grandma.
