Back to School Photo Props Made Easy

It's almost that time again...

Back To School for most of us.

I know some have already returned, but here in

Texas we start in just a few short weeks.

 

It's 106 outside and I don't want to go anywhere

but to put my feet in the sand and lay by the beach.

 

Did I mention I live in Texas?

 

Soon we will be seeing our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram

pages filled with all of those sweet smiling

"OH MY GOSH MOM I AM DONE WITH PICTURES"

kind of faces.

We can get away with a few extra since they are still in

that summer daze of sleepiness.

 

I made documenting those yearly moments just a tad bit

easier for you this year by offering these printable sets.

 

K through 5 Boys

K through 5 Girls

and....

Class of 2028 signs

 

For all of you kinder parents out there,

did your heart just skip a beat?
2028?  Really?

 

I know mine did when I had my sweet girls holding those

2022 and 2025 Graduation year signs.

Picasso Art Party!

My sweet little girl turned 4 last week and

had been talking about an Art Party for months!

It was the first time to invite classmates over

to her house for a party and she was beaming

with excitement!

I have so many pictures so bare with me

in this super size of a feature!

The little artist were greeted by a

birthday balloon wreath!

So super easy!  You must make one! 

And my Sweet Birthday Girl!

Don't you love that shirt!

The ever fabulous Kristina at Modern Frills never disappoints! 

 They are great shirts! 

The first task for my Mini Picasso's

were to make Picasso Pops!

My daughter's help me smash up colorful candies

and place them into bowls divided by colors.

Each guest made their own lollipops!

I wish I had pictures of the finished product...

however I had my hands full!

(Note to self:  Hire a Photographer!)

After making their Picasso Pops,

each little artist found their art supplies

in the Art Cubby that I set up.



Next, my little artists were off for a little

sand art fun!

After finishing their sand art, they painted

their own Picasso Masterpiece.

The kids were so creative! 

Who needs a little treat?

The kids had a little snack with painting

from these fabulous Kandy Kones

by Posh Party Pretties!

Starving Artist?

Yes, after all of that hard work, it was time to eat!

I kept the table design simple.

A row of colorful pails with matching pinwheels lined the table.

I cut the place mats out of colorful foam sheets

and added the dots to make a painters palette.

I tied up the gable boxes with a tag that

read "Starving Artist" and attached a paint brush

for a little added touch.

After all of that fun and lunch....

it is time for some sweets right?

Raibow Lantern hung above the Sweets Table...

I knew I had to have this ruffled table skirt as soon as

my daughter said "Art Party"!

The sweets table included this Fabulous Cake,

Cupcakes, Painters Palette Cookies, Colorful Gumballs,

Crayola Jelly Bellies, and last but not least..

Rainbow Cake Push Cakes!

The kids all made their own gumball masterpiece

to take home with them.

I had so much fun making the push cakes!

I had a little snag with the box displays

and had to serve them upside down,

but hey...it worked.

If you are looking for a tutorial to make you own
push ups head over to this post:

Simply Creative Printables

The kids loaded up their Art Cubby with Sand Art,

Paintings, Gumballs, and this fun little favor!

The favors were 4 small containers with

colorful playdoh in each. I tied them up with

some twine and included a mini polling pin,

and heart shaped cookie cutter on top!

I had so much fun planning this fun and colorful party

for my daughter!

Art is such a fun activity for little ones!
