Head Back to School as the Teacher’s Pet!

Have your kid­dos head­ed back to school yet? My daugh­ter starts school on Mon­day and we just attend­ed her school func­tion where she found out who her new teacher will be and who’s in her class! It’s always a nerve-wrack­ing time in a kid’s life… won­der­ing what the teacher is going to be like and if his/her friends will be in the same class. Luck­i­ly, she was placed with the teacher she had been want­i­ng AND she’ll be togeth­er with her BFF from last year. Phew!!!

I can hard­ly believe that it’s already been a cou­ple of  years since I orga­nized this I Hope You Dance  par­ty when she was just about to start Kinder­garten. This theme was a cul­mi­na­tion of all the excite­ment and anx­i­eties I was feel­ing as my baby girl was embark­ing on one of the first of many, many mile­stones of her life and my main wish to her. It’s fun to look back on my fears and hopes just two years ago and what she has already accom­plished since then and just how much things have changed… or remained the same! One thing def­i­nite­ly remains the same: FUN!!!

That same year, we also decid­ed to have a Too Cool for School  fash­ion show to get her excit­ed for uni­forms. She’s always been a bit of a fash­ion­ista, so hav­ing to wear uni­forms on a dai­ly basis would be a big change. To spice it up, we had a fash­ion show for the fam­i­ly to add some fun, but also to demon­strate how she could pair up the dif­fer­ent cloth­ing ele­ments, as well as acces­sorize! We’re all set with new uni­forms, as well as cute acces­sories and shoes for the year!

So, now to final­ize our sup­ply shop­ping, orga­nize her brand new back­pack {one of my favorite parts as a child… and kind of as a mom, too!} and, of course, prep a gift for the teacher for the first day of school! I cre­at­ed these cute Back to School fon­dant cup­cake top­pers and pro­vid­ed the super sim­ple instruc­tions on the Craft­sy blog to eas­i­ly re-cre­ate them! They not only would be per­fect for the first day of school, but also for scholas­tic events through­out the year, inclu­sive of Teacher Appre­ci­a­tion Day in May. Per­son­al­ize them in your own way and allow your kids to write their own notes!

We can’t wait for all the fun and excite­ment the new school year has to offer! What is your favorite part of going back to school?
