Back to School Treat Boxes

- September 08, 2012

Now that we've learned how to appropriately use Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2 (TBBM2), lets move on to a fun project. If you live in the US and are on a traditional school schedule, your kids are back in school. When we first began homeschooling our children, we started school at the same time as the schools in our area. We also followed their holiday schedule as nearly as possible. However, in the last few years, we have changed and waited until after Labor Day to start and have become a bit more flexible with our holiday scheduling as well.

Since we have been at this for so long, and the kids are in high school, we don't have to buy as many school supplies. However, who doesn't love new pencils. (OK so maybe I'm a little weird, but one of the little things I enjoy is a new set of pens, to do lists, pretty notebooks...) They're not too interested in color crayons though. I decided that I needed a fun way to give them a few little things and these little boxes are what I came up with.
