Back to School Craft Ideas with Markers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’m always looking for fun ways to get my kids excited about going back to school. I guess having my kids growing up with a teacher as a mom you somewhat expect that excitement. This is probably one of my most exciting times of the year, admittedly a bit sad but true.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask a few other teachers and they’ve been thinking about preplanning for a few weeks now too.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back to School Coloring Project <\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This year we are just doing a simple Back to School Coloring project that will be the anchor to starting a successful morning routine and after-school routine for us. I gave her the outline of the Back to School Text and told her to design a fun background for it so we can hang it up and start getting ready for school to start in, yikes one WEEK!<\/p>\n\n\n

Make your own Back to School or First Day of School<\/b> Sign<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Check out how bright and colorful she created a design using the Infinity Markers that we received to try out  Now that she’s heading off to 2nd grade I told her she’s a big girl and I trust her with permanent markers at the craft table. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should have seen her eyes like up when I told her that! Off she went to create this adorable masterpiece.  We talked about design ideas with polka dots, zig-zags, strips and more. She had fun filling her afternoon with this project.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a feeling there might be some spelling word projects in the near future! Back to School just got a little bit more exciting at our house and your’s too!<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Reusing<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Create Your Own Customized Containers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We have a few other ways we’ll be using our Infinity Markers too. We created a simple holder for our magnetic letters, perfect for spelling word practice or little sister’s Tot School while big sister is at school. Simply recycle a jar and use the markers to write your ABCs all over it.<\/p>\n\n\n

We can even store our Infinity Markers in their too, so bright and colorful!<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Personalized<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Create Your Own Customized Teacher Gifts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One last idea for Back to school!  We made a little teacher gift for one of her teachers that she had from last year.  This could make a fun Meet the Teacher Gift too.  We created with the Infinity Markers the lines on the glass vase that we found for $1, can’t beat that!  The lines were made to look like school paper and then we wrote the teachers name on it.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the first day of school you can deliver it with a variety of things inside.  Child made flowers, school supplies like Infinity Markers, pencils, colored pencils, anything to help your child’s teacher’s year start off right!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or consider a customized Post It Note with customized Ribbon Gift<\/a> OR Painted Pencil Themed Clothespins<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n

We had a lot of fun experimenting with the Infinity Markers and truthfully have quite a few other ideas to share with you.  Check out Infinity Markers Pinterest Board  and you just might see those ideas too!  You ready to try them out yourself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wishing you a great start to your School Year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
