With the start of school, it is fun to give the kids a small treat to get the year off to a great start. So when I received a package of Astrobrights paper, I knew just what to make:  Back To School Treat Boxes! Well, they aren’t actually boxes so I thought about calling them treat triangles but they aren’t really triangles either. Whatever they are called, these back to school treats are sure to make any kid happy!

treat box supplies
So, I gathered the supplies to make the Back To School Treat Boxes. Astrobrights paper, stapler, colored staples, washi tape, double stick tape, glue dots, candy, mini paper flowers, googly eyes. I cut the pieces of Astrobrights paper in half for this project.

 

 
add double stick tape
 Put a strip of double stick tape at one end of the paper and peel off the backing. Depending on how you want the treat box to look, you might need to decorate it before doing the tape.

 

 
roll paper and tape
 Roll the paper and stick the end on the double sided tape.
 
staple end of tube
Turn the paper tube to the side and staple one end closed.
 

 

stuff pocket with treats
Stuff the pocket with treats.

Turn the treat box and staple the other end closed in the opposite direction.

Using glue dots, attach decorations to the treat box.

    That is a really cute and easy idea.

    This will be our first year celebrating “back to school” as my son will start Kindergarten in a few weeks. I am still thinking of ideas to kick off the season.
