Going back to school is such an exciting time for the kids. Let them know how much you'll miss them by incorporating a few new traditions this year.
Mandy makes these yummy Butterfly Breakfasts for a great back to school breakfast.
Kristi has a cute first day of school tradition. The “Magic School Bus” comes by her house the night before the first day of school and leave a gigantic lunch bag (paper shopping bag from the grocery) at our front door and rings the doorbell and runs. Inside is just some fun school supplies and a little gift.
Mique has some fun traditions as well. She adds her kiddos names to their backpacks and makes them backpack tags with all their info on it. Thanks to Mique, I’ve adopted this tradition every year!

Greta ideas, except for the name on the backpack one – it's dangerous to put your child's name on the outside of their backpack, as predators will frequently use that as a way to gain a child's trust. Initials I would think are okay, but I would save actual labeling for areas that are out of general sight, for safety's sake.
