Weeks leading up to the boys birthday party we worked on class treat bags for Caden to bring to school (thank goodness Cohen is not in school this year). I purchased one large bag of candy that happens to have 2 of their favorite types of candy to eat, 2 themed party favors and a pack of themed stickers that I cut up. Remember you don’t have to fill it with lots of stuff….simpler is better when it comes to kids so that they don’t get overwhelmed by all that’s in there and can really appreciate the few items that you did get for them (take that from a mom with four kids.)
I purchased the cardstock from Michael’s when they were having their scrapbooking sale (this is why I recommend starting early so that you have time to scope out the sales and work on it a little at a time). You can create labels with your computer and print them out or use a stamp set like I did when a computer is not available to you. It does take a little more precision to keep it straight but once you get going it’s a breeze. J I filled the 3×6 baggies with the few goodies that I got and because the bags were not overly large it didn’t look empty. These bags can be found in any baking aisle at Michael’s, Hobby Lobby, or Walmart.
Caden felt extra special bringing his treat bags and cake pops to school that day. The cake pops were simply made with Spongebob and Patrick’s face on them. Like I said in my previous post, it was a really busy week for me at the bakery but I didn’t want to skip making this for him. Cake pop flavors were chocolate and vanilla . His teacher especially appreciated the cake pops and how mess free it really is when feeding Kindergartners. It still bothers me that I didn’t get to make the pops square and triangular shaped like I originally hoped but the kids didn’t seem to notice.
