It is Back to School season in Calgary, Alberta! Whether you are already a handful of weeks in, or just started back, it is time to celebrate. This time of the year can feel daunting and overwhelming for kids, so a party to celebrate the kick-off gives them something to look forward to. Start the year off on a positive note!
Here are some ideas for your back to school party:
- Decor: Check out places like Michaels, Winners, and Amazon for cute back to school decorations! You don't need much to make the space festive. Get some napkins, plates, bunting, and balloons.
- Food: You can look on Pinterest for cute food ideas, but you might also be tired from helping your kids with the transition in seasons. If that is the case, take the stress off and order in Pizza!
- Activity: If your kids are exhausted from the change in daily routine, a fun fall movie such as Cheaper By The Dozen is a great way to celebrate and relax. If you're looking for something more hands-on, decorate pencil cases or sugar cookies.
- Tradition: Chose one thing as your back to school tradition. It could be taking a photo on the front steps, getting a slurpee after the first bus drop-off, measuring height on the pantry doorframe, or writing a little note about their favourite things at the moment to look back on. Traditions are a great way to root big change in fun!
Whether you plan a little celebration or not, take a moment to pat yourself on the back for making it through those first long days. It's going to be a great year ahead!
