School is nearly upon us and I wanted to share a fun idea that I had stashed away in my “This is an awesome idea I had and someday I’ll find the time to use it” stash. This particular idea is for a College Survival Can but you could easily adjust it to different grade levels.
Find yourself a clean, empty paint can (you can buy these at home improvement stores), decorate it up and fill it with:
A teabag – in case you ever get into hot water, make tea and share it
A pack of tissues – to remind you to dry each other’s tears
A toothpick – to pick out the good in yourself and others
A package of salt – to remember to take some things with a grain of salt
A lifesaver – to remind you that Friends are lifesavers
A penny – so you are never broke
A package of sweetarts – to take the bitter with the sweet in life
A rubber band – to remind you to stay flexible
A kiss – to remind you to kiss away boo-boos and that you are loved
A star – to remind you to shine and always try your best
A pencil and eraser – to remind you that we are all sharp, but we all make mistakes too
A paper clip – to hold your life together
A snickers – to remind us to laugh more and enjoy life
A graduation cap – to remind you to always seek knowledge
A duck – to remind you to let some things roll off your back
A mint – to remind you that we’re all worth a mint as long as we work together
A hug – of which we can never give or receive too many
Hmm…now that I read over this list, this would make an awesome wedding gift for some friends of mine. I wonder if I could do one by Friday…..
awww, too cute!! LOVE it! and yes, I have faith that you can by Friday lol
