Back to school season is upon us! There is just something about this time of year that I love. Between the weather getting cooler, back to school shopping and getting back into a routine. The kids still had school throughout the summer but after Labor Day they head into their new classrooms for the year and with that comes the butterflies.
This year I decided that I wanted to put something together to give the kids the night before their first day to ease some of the nerves and make it fun. I got the idea to put together a Back to School Basket with some things to get them excited. Below I’m sharing some of the goodies in our Back to School Basket and how to put one together.
How to Make a Back to School Basket
I collected a bunch of little things throughout the summer that I thought the kids would enjoy.
Pajamas – I found these at Old Navy for $10 each!!!!
Books – Some of my favorites for the Back to School baskets are shown and linked below.
Water bottles – I like these personalized ones stainless steel ones.
