"Colorful" Classmate Gifts for Pre-Schoolers

Here are my son's gifts for his classmates.  I got this really cute template from Chica and Jo.  Chica and Jo originally intended it to be an invitation.  I changed it up a little bit and made it into an end of year gift.  It opens right in Word so it is super easy to manipulate. I put some crayons that I got from Walmart in the boxes.

I took the pix with my phone, so they are a little blurry.  I typed the children's names on the front.  Plus, this little phrase..."Wishing you a very colorful summer."

I also added some activity pads.  Got those from The Dollar Tree.  Love The Dollar Tree.

To the back, I added some fun things to do with crayons besides simply coloring with them.

I wanted to add more, but only three would fit.  I chose...

1. Rainbow Crayons--Put oven on to 225 and "bake" for 10-15 min

2. Sun Catchers--from Notes from a Mom in Chapel Hill

3. Push-Pop Crayons--from Infarrantly Creative--she melted her crayons in the microwave--genius.  I gave instructions for the old-fashioned double boiler way.

My son only has 10 students in his class including him.  These classmate gifts only cost me $4.50.  I had the cardstock, so I didn't count that.  The activity books were 3/$1--I needed 9.  The crayons were $0.49 for a pack of 24--only needed 3 boxes. I am going to tie them up with some ribbon and poof!  My son's class is done.  Now on to my daughter's class gifts and teacher gifts.
