Back to School | Apple Stamped Lunch Sacks
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!
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.

Summer Camp Candy Care Package
Summer officially began this week and for a lot of kids that means it’s time to pack up the duffel bags and head off to camp. We have fond memories of all the summer time joy that goes along with sleep away camp. One of the best parts of the day was mail time in the mess hall! Your kids are sure to be happy campers with something sweet tucked in their bag and some mail to brighten their day!
Here is seven days of sweet sunshine for your camper. Fill each day with some candy or goodies and a note. They will love it!
Other ways to send love from home to your campers are:
- Postcards mailed each day with one letter written on each. By the end of their stay the message might spell something like, “I miss you!”
- A personalized pillowcase with sweet dream messages.
- A CD or playlist for their iPod with their favorite music.
- A recorded message card so a camper can hear a familiar voice from home.
- A care package of their favorite homemade baked goods.
- A candy gram. Use the names of candy bars to write a special note
