We’re kicking off a Back to School Bash with Frugal Coupon Living this week! When Ashley asked us to share some back to school ideas, we couldn’t be more thrilled. Being teachers we get just as excited (or nervous) to head back to the classroom as the kids do. For the next several weeks we’ll share with you some fun and educational ways to get in the school spirit.

Packing lunches can be a dreaded task in even the most organized of households. Use this art project as a perfect way to have your little ones help jump start your packing parties.

All you’ll need is:

  • Paper lunch sacks
  • Washable paint (we used red, green, and white)
  • Apple sliced in half
  • Cork
  • Scraps of ribbon
  • Hole puncher
  • Black marker
  • Paper plates

Lay out a couple of paper plates for your kids with some paint on each of them. Show them how the apple can double as a stamp. Have them cover the cut side of apple with paint and stamp their bags. They can use the cork to make polka dots. Once they’re dry you can use the black marker to finish off the design. By folding the top of the bag over once and hole punching, you’ve prepared your bag to be used as soon as school starts. Have the kids design special ones for themselves or their siblings. Let them dry and store them away for back to school time. The final touch is some cute ribbon through the holes on the top once it’s stuffed with a yummy lunch!

Would you like to save this?

We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!

Make sure to check back next week for printable lunch notes, so you can drop a sweet line to your favorite student. In the meantime for more educational ideas visit us at www.simplysprouteducate.com.

Do not forget about the First Day of School Printables… Pick up the perfect sign from Marcy at Magic by Marcy.
