Can you believe it’s Back To School season?! Friends in Arizona went back on Monday! Eeek! My boys head back to school in 26 days and they’re trying not to think about it. {grin} I on the other hand am planning to surprise them with a fun filled back to school countdown made with Elmer’s full of all the last minute summer things they like to do. Ideas include “a day at the pool,” “hiking in their favorite park,” “a college basketball game,” “an afternoon with their favorite cousins,” etc.

Supplies For Countdown

This countdown is super simple to make with a bit of Elmer’s Glue All. Elmer’s has a multitude of glue options, but I personally love the glue all. It’s fast and non-toxic. Plus, it glues all, literally! It’s perfect for household repairs, craft and school projects. It works on a variety of surfaces like paper, wood, fabric, leather, and ceramics! Visit your local craft store to pick some up along with a few other supplies:

  • Elmer’s Glue All
  • Yellow Scrapbook Paper (or precut numbers and note cards)
  • Envelopes
  • Black & White Stripe Scrapbook Paper
  • Twine
  • Mini Clothespins
  • Black Pen
  • Optional: Die Cutting Machine

Extras for Decoration:

  • Pinwheels
  • Apple Embellishments
  • Elmer’s Hot Glue Gun & No Mess Glue Sticks
  • Clipboard

Back To School Crafts With ElmersEasy How To Steps

  1. Embellish Envelopes – Simply adhere numbers to 5×7 envelopes with Elmer’s Glue All. Cut interior envelop liners from scrapbook paper and glue into envelopes for a pretty surprise when they open the envelopes.
  2. Fill Envelopes – Cut note cards and write creative and memorable end of summer ideas on them for each day.
  3. Display – Hang the envelopes where the kids can get excited to see what’s inside each one. They’ll be so excited about the next day’s adventure, the back to school anxiety will be a distant thought!
