Create school binders as a treat for your children heading back to school. Here's a fun back to school crafts project for parents. Younger children are often upset at the thought of leaving Mom and family behind for long periods of time. Why not ease the transition for younger children as they head back to school with the gift of a personalized binder?
To create the binder, you will need:
Optional:
To make it
On the inside front cover of the binder, print a message to your child using the permanent marker. It is a bit corny, but this is one that could be used for a Kindergartener going to all day school or a first grader:
You will be in school from eight to two,
Learning, playing and having fun.
Very soon, you will be home again.
Until then, I love you, son.
Hugs and Kisses,
Mom
 | Arming your children with school safety advice when they are not with you will help protect your kids all through the school day. |
School bus safety rules are important for everyone, and children won't necessarily think of these rules on their own. |
 | Heavy backpacks continue to cause increasing back problems for students of all ages. In fact, the Consumer Products Safety Commission reports that each year there are more than 10,000 backpack-related injuries to kids ages 18 and under. |
 | It's important to follow basic playground safety rules with your children. Most often, the playgrounds are at schools, and teachers can monitor kids. Sometimes, though, the teachers aren't there to supervise or are too busy to do so, so parents must always keep playground safety in mind. |
Everyone has his or her own back to school shopping ritual. Some wait until the sales begin, and some commit to their back to school shopping routine whenever they see an item their child needs. Back to school shopping can be an opportunity for you to show your child you support their school experience, but it can also be a nightmare if you are not careful. |
