Back to school time. I bet some of you are happy about your kids going back to school. I hope everyone had a fun safe summer. My son is 3 and a half so we had some fun days in the water and trying to stay cool.

With all this back to school talk going on, this does not mean you can’t still make memories before the busy days and nights start. Craft time is a such a fun time to all get together, it may get messy but the memories you make are worth it.

Here are some fun simple crafts to get the kids excited about going to school.

You can use a cereal box or any type of food box really… I used an ice cream box.
