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:
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 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:

As your family wraps up the school year it’s a great time to say thank you to the people who have lent a hand in your child’s school day. Whether that’s teachers, volunteers, or a bus driver, a homemade treat always does the trick. As teachers and mothers ourselves our hearts are full of gratitude for volunteers in our classrooms, and the educators of our children.
This Lemon Blueberry Cake Bread is sure to create sweet smiles and memories.
Bread Ingredients:
Bread Lemon Glaze:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray 8 ½ x 4 ½ non stick loaf pan with cooking spray. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; set to the side. In a medium bowl, cream the butter and 1 ½ cups sugar until fluffy in consistency. Add the eggs; beat well. Add in the lemon zest. Pour in the flour mixture alternating with the milk. Gently fold in the blueberries. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
To add a glaze mix the sugar, lemon juice, and zest in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Using a fork, poke holes in the bread and pour glaze on top. Allow to cool for 30 minutes.
Simply download our thank you note, print on card stock paper, write a sweet message on the back, and attached to a cellophane wrapped yummy loaf! For other end of the school year ideas visit us at www.simplysprouteducate.com.

The projector featured in this project is the Aiptek Pocket Cinema and it’s pretty pricey! You can try a making a homemade projector OR consider calling your library to see if they rent out projectors. If they don’t, maybe see if you can borrow one from your office or someone else’s.
Head to my Pinterest for a look and instructions! Very cool and a great deal!
