back to school fun finds

One of my boys started school this week and one starts school Tuesday, so back to school has been on the brain for weeks now! And today I thought I would share some of my favorite finds.

From backpacks to lunch boxes to pencil bags, there are some really adorable bags for young kiddos to take to school this year.  Neither of my boys hesitate at the door anymore, actually my youngest never did, but for littles that are a bit timid to leave mom, these bags are almost like stuffed animals to keep them company! And these were some of my favorites:

• Preschool Elephant Backpack from Makai Boutique on Etsy
• Owl Hold Your Lunch Bag from Perpetual Kid
• Shark Pencil Case from Minnie Bites on Etsy
• Pink Elephant Pencil Case from Piggledee on Etsy

In my book, big occasions always call for sweet rewards, like these awesome back to school cookie ideas from some very talented bakers:

• Lunch Box Note Cookies with Lizy B Bakes ~ love these! And as she states in her post, if your kiddos are embarrassed by the love notes, they can always eat the evidence. {grin}
• Nerdy Bookworm Cookies from The Sweet Adventures of Sugarbelle ~ Callye always amazes me, but I think these might just be my new favorites!
• Homework Done? You get a Gold Star Cookie! from The Decorated Cookie ~ Meaghan always comes up with easy and fabulous ideas, but this is just genius!

As always, I hope you’re inspired to craft, bake, create and celebrate! Happy weekend everyone!
