So many changes occur over the course of a child’s school year. Growth in height, knowledge and a change in tastes and preferences can always be counted upon. During summer or when preparing for the back to school grove, take on this fun craft and create a back to school Time Capsule.

Supplies:

  • Coffee Can or Storage Jar or Box
  • Miscellaneous Items to Define Your Child
  • Crafts to Decorate the Outside of the container

Get creative with this activity. Watch your child. What is it you want to capture during this moment, this age, about his/her personality?

Consider the following activities/items to place inside the Time Capsule.

  • A Current Photo
  • A memento or picture from summer or summer vacation
  • Postcards from places traveled over summer
  • A ribbon or award that shows their current accomplishments
  • A hand print
  • A Self Portrait
  • The Recipe from a favorite meal
  •  A photo of the their favorite movie
  • Favorite Subject
  • Least Favorite Subject
  • Favorite Color
  • What Your child is most excited about/afraid about
  • Child’s Height
  • About Me Activity Sheet from Lakeshore Learning
Let your child write out most of these items to see how their handwriting also evolves and changes.

More about creating a School Time Capsule in our Back to School First Day of School Ideas & Traditions.

Well the stores are starting their back to school season whether you feel it or not.
Below is a run down of what deals you can find (so far) for back to school.
I will keep updating and reposting this list as more deals come.
…
Staples: This coming week (July 19 – 26) Staples has some great items for FREE – $2. See the full list Here.
.
You can also sign up for a Techers Reward Card Here (if you are a teacher) and sometimes just by showing your school ID they increase the limit for teachers. They have done this for me in years past. They also have an upcoming Teacher Appreciation Day where a tote back of FREEBIES for teachers will be given. Get more information and your local event’s time and date Here.
.
Office Depot: If you are a teacher and are not signed up for the Star Appreciate Program, make sure you sign up Here. They have a Teacher Appreciation breakfast where teachers get a toteback of FREE stuff and 10% off with their Star Appreciation Card. The breakfast likely is the date of August 22 (in my area – north FL) judging form years past. I would call your local Office Depot to find the date in your area.
.
CVS: CVS has some great freebies available Sunday through Tuesday (July 19 – 21) of this week. You can see the full list Here.
.
Walgreens: Great sales on back to school items all week long (July 12 – 18.) See the full list Here.

I don’t know about you, but my kiddo was SO EXCITED to get a locker this year at school. And, of course, we had to go buy all the things to decorate it. If you’re still looking for decor for your kids, you’re going to want to add these amazing items to your locker!

Locker rugs are a big thing this year. This is the one thing we haven’t gotten yet because my daughter can’t make up her mind. So, I’m showing her this Circle Locker Tassel Rug because it’s fun, colorful and totally budget-friendly at just $6.99.

My daughter’s best friend got this Magnetic LED Locker Prism Light for her locker, and it’s super cute. It has a fun modern look, and it’s so much fun to turn on in between classes. Get this for just $14.99.

A dry erase board is another must-have for lockers this year. All the girls in my daughter’s class have them. I love this Steel Magnetic Weekly Locker Dry Erase Board because it’s broken down into days so your kiddo can keep everything organized by day. Get this for only $3.99!

All kids love to put pictures in their lockers, and this Magnetic Locker Photo Grid is a fun way to display them. If my daughter had room left in her locker, I know she would want to get this for it! This is only $6.99.

A cork board is another fun way to display pictures, and this Magnetic Pineapple Locker Bulletin Board with Pins is super fun. Kids will love the pineapple shape, and you’ll love that it’s only $5.99.

How cute is this Magnetic LED Locker Tassel Light?? We actually looked at this one before my daughter picked the one she wanted. I love all the tassels on this. It has such a fun boho vibe. And, this is only $14.99.
