7 Back-to-School Gifts and Activities for Kids\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n

Delight your child with these fun, engaging, and personalized back-to-school gifts!\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bedroom Makeover<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Surprise your child with a back-to-school gift that will make them feel like a big kid! Redecorate your child\u2019s room to get them excited about the new school year. This is a great opportunity to transition their room from a nursery or to decorate according to their new interests. Whether they\u2019ve been asking for a change or are nervous for the year to come, gifting them a bedroom makeover is the perfect back-to-school gift to celebrate milestones!\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Personalized Storybooks<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Inspire your little reader to learn and grow with <\/span>personalized children\u2019s books<\/span><\/a> that feature their name! A custom name book like <\/span>My Very Own Name<\/span><\/a> will help your child learn how to spell their own name. Encourage your child to spread kindness at school and at home with <\/span>The Magic in Me<\/span><\/a>. In this colorful story, your child learns that everyone is unique and beautiful!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

First-Day-of-School Outfit\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The first day of school is an exciting moment! Send your child off to school in style with a back-to-school outfit that makes them feel confident, comfortable, and special. Add a new backpack and lunch box to the outfit, to give them a fabulous ensemble!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Activity Gift Basket<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Fill a basket with learning activities and tools that the child can enjoy at home and at school during free time! Include coloring books, crayons, <\/span>stickers<\/span><\/a>, paper, pencils in a cute pencil case, games, and a new electronic such as a learning pad or (as a splurge) an iPad. A personalized coloring book like <\/span>Color My Feelings<\/span><\/a> helps children learn all about their feelings with fun activities. The activity set <\/span>Learn Colors<\/span><\/a> comes with crayons, a coloring book, and sticker sheet so children can learn about colors and use the sticker sheet to place objects in the right spot.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Back-to-School Bento Box Lunch<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Delight your child with a school-themed lunch for their first day! A bento box lunch box makes the perfect container for keeping their snacks contained in separate compartments. To make their special lunch, you\u2019ll need heart-shaped mini cookie cutters and alphabet cookie cutters. Make a ham and cheese or peanut-and-butter sandwich (crusts cut off) and place in the largest bento box section. Cut the letters A, B, and C from cheddar cheese and place on top of the sandwich. Add grapes and mini orange slices in a small compartment. Cut out heart shapes from two brownies and add to the last compartment for a sweet treat! Your child will love a back-to-school lunch made from the heart!\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Create a Calm-Down Corner\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Sometimes children need time to relax and recharge after an anxious or high-energy school day. Create a corner in your home where your child can go if they need space. This corner can include a mini fort or tent with a pillow on the floor and twinkling lights. Add a box with some toys and games they can play on their own or with family members. A personalized puzzle like <\/span>My 50 States<\/span><\/a> is a fun way to relax and learn all about America\u2019s fifty states! A <\/span>personalized truck-themed matching game<\/span><\/a> will help your child build memory power and spelling skills. If your little one loves to read after school, surprise them with a personalized activity book <\/span>All About Me<\/span><\/a> that celebrates their new age and interests.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Video Collage from Family Members<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Make their first day back to school extra special with a video of family members sending loving messages! Have family members (grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.) record a short video with well wishes and sweet messages. Then edit them together into a video collage and surprise your child the morning of their first day. This back-to-school gift is a beautiful way to show family support and boost your child\u2019s confidence!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
