I have always thought it was important to celebrate each year that our kids survive another year at school; no matter what grade it is. Celebrations can be in the form of going out to dinner, getting ice cream, a remembrance gift, a card or just something silly. I, personally, like the silly and fun gifts. Here is one idea on how to make your kids a 'Schools Out' congratulations gift.
My girls, like most kids, love candy, so I thought that instead of just giving them some candy I would write them a little note to go along with it.
I incorporated each type of candy within the note to make the note extra special and entertaining.
Make sure to wrap the candy with pretty ribbon.
Have fun and get creative! I love to surprise my girls and my after schooler's. If school has already dismissed for the year in your town, feel free to pin this for the next school year.
Have a super and safe summer!
What a fantastic idea! I may have to try this as well, my kids have had a terrible year. Bullying got so bad we had to switch their schools in March, and since then things have still been complicated. What a perfect time to celebrate when they end the year!
ReplyDeleteOh no that is horrible! I hate to hear that.
DeleteWhat a cute idea. Our youth did something similar for our favorite police officer.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a sweet mom! I wish my mom did something cool like this when I got out of school. When I have kids I wanna help celebrate with my kids too. Cool idea!
ReplyDeleteVery very cute - sharing - this is such a great way to say "Congrats!"
ReplyDeleteVery cute idea. I never thought of doing this. I have until June 9th so this is on my to do list. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat is a cute idea. We usually go out for ice cream on the last day of school!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea for celebrating the end of the school year! We always take a family trip somewhere fun the weekend that school lets out. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such and amazing and sweet idea. This is adult friendly as well. So cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea. Kids love having such thoughtful gifts and mine love candy. What a nice way to kick off summer break!
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome idea. I love celebrating school survival.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. I'm so gonna do this for my boys. I've never thought of doing this before. Can't wait to put something together. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat is a fun day. I like that you celebrate each grade. We do too, but not formally. I think it's a fun/good idea to make it an official celebration like this... :)
ReplyDeleteI love this adorable idea!
ReplyDeleteHow adorable is this!!! What lucky kids to have such a cool mom :) Thank you for sharing!

I love celebrating the end of school too! This is a great idea for the kids!
ReplyDeleteThat is a really fun suprise! Hope you have a lovely summer!
ReplyDeletecute idea. i think my kids would FLIP if i gave them all that candy at once!! LOL!
ReplyDeleteha ha FLIP--- I get it ;-)
DeleteThat's a fun idea. I need to start thinking about creating letters like this! So many possibilities!
ReplyDeleteWhat a surprise treat for them and I'm sure they look forward to all the special things you're doing for them. This is better than getting candy at Halloween.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute and easy idea! I'm sure any kid would love that!
ReplyDeleteThis is super creative! My son isn't school-aged yet, but this would be fun to try for teachers.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! I would love to make this for my nephew, but he doesn't like candy. What kind of crazy kid doesn't like candy?!? I'll have to find a different kid to make it for!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful time of year. Kids getting out of school. Kids graduating. Everyone looking forward to summer and beyond. I love your idea for a school's out party.
ReplyDeleteI agree! The end of the school year should be celebrated! My grands and I love sour patch kids! :)
ReplyDeleteI do end of the year gifts too. I take my daughters to Toys R Us and they pick out one toy they want. I love your end of the year gift as well Aimee!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea! Pinning this!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet gifts. I need to remember to do this for my son's teachers!
ReplyDeleteCute Idea. My kids are younger- so giving them a stack of sugar would make my summer more challenging!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute way to congratulate someone on a year of hard work that's finally over! Love this idea.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I love candy cards :)
