Activities

Summer Memory Station: Have a bunch of small pieces of paper pre-cut out for the kids to use for this activity. Then the kids can write down what their favorite summer memory was. At the end of the night you can pull from the memory box and read off a few of the sweet summer moments!

DIY Backpack Charms: Just a few simple arts and crafts items are all you need for this craft. You can get different charms and yarn colors for every type of personality in the room. Then let the kids go to work and create their very own backpack charm!

Cupcake Decorating: No party is complete without a classic cupcake decorating station. This will keep the kids busy for hours after dinner while the parent socializes and catch up from the hectic summer. Be sure to purchase fun back-to-school themed candy decorations!

DIY Bookmarks: Every child going back to school needs a bookmark! Have fun watching the kids making their very own. All you need are a few simple paper cut-outs and some yarn to make an epic bookmark you wouldn't be able to find at the store!

Food
