How to Have Fun with Back to School

How to Keep Things Fun for Back to School

August 26, 2020 · In: Lifestyle, Momlife

This post is sponsored by Nestlé, but all opinions are my own. 2020 Nestlé.

The summer is officially beginning to come to an end here with everyone getting ready for back to school. The fun doesn’t have to end though! Thanks to these ‘cool’ treats, we are planning to keep the fun going for back to school.

The unknown of back to school.

So many questions are surrounding the upcoming school year. Your children may be going to the school 5 days a week, a hybrid schedule, or possibly even only virtual/homeschooling. Whatever schedule your children will be following this school year, there is one thing that remains constant: how to make it fun for all!

Making Back to School Fun

One of the best ways to keep things easy-going while facing so many unknowns is to make sure you incorporate a little fun. The kids deserve it and so do we as parents! I am thankful when I have products on hand to do just that.  and Nestlé® are helping me keep the happy on hand this back to school year.

Cool treats for Back to School

Have Happy on Hand.

It doesn’t take much to make my kids giddy and excited to learn. Incorporating fun activities and crafts a long with what they are learning not only makes it more fun, but it also keeps them on task. They are not getting bored from sitting still with school work or homework. Providing them, and myself, a little break now and then is a must.

Snack break with ice cream and popsicles

My freezer is filled with all the fun thanks to Sam’s Club! I can easily grab theandfrom the freezer section at Sam’s Club, either in-store or via online order, pick them and transport them to my freezer. The Sam’s Club freezer bag makes all of this process even easier! I just keep my Sam’s Club freezer bag in my car for whenever my freezer is in need to be restocked.

Create an afternoon ‘cool’ treat snack break.

The perfect afternoon snack break is one that is both delicious and fun. Create a little snack tray with the . Then have the, which are made with real fruit accessible as well. I promise they will not be sitting out long enough to melt. They are honestly that good!

Outshine Popsicles

Another creative idea would be to connect whatever is being taught to the ‘cool’ treats themselves. Learning about colors or reading? Have your child spell out the word ‘ice cream’ while they are enjoying one of the Toll House Mini Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwiches. Maybe even have them talk about what different colors are created when mixed with certain colors while enjoying the Outshine Fruit Bars.

Back to School Fun with cool treats

Fill your freezer with fun for Back to School.

Take it from me, don’t let the unknown take away the fun for back to school. Find ways to still make it enjoyable and fun for all! Fill your freezer with Outshine Fruit Bars and Toll House Mini Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwiches to have happy on hand while making school time fun.

Well, we are excited about being a Growth Hunter Partner and being in the know of the release of @claire_karwowski @pennyandluckbook : The Shadows of Rosehall! If you haven’t heard about Penny & Luck: The Shadows of Rosehall, let us tell you all about it! 

It is intended for ages 6-8 and is a brain-teasing, action-packed STEM mystery chapter book. Nine-year-old Penny Jones and her corgi sidekick, Luck, thought their summer would be ordinary until a twist of magic sends them tumbling into a whole new world! BOOYAH! Science and all things STEM have always been a huge favorite of mine, and now there is a book that engages young readers in both reading but also STEM thinking! Chloe loves that Penny has her corgi, Luck, that follows her along with magic sending them tumbling into a whole new world with flying bicycles, birds the size of watermelons, making things even more fun! 

Take it from us, everyone needs some Penny & Luck! Order Penny & Luck: The Shadows of Rosehall today, and let the adventure begin! #pennyandluck #booklaunch
