Back-to-School Bash

Tomorrow is the first day of school for my little guy, so I thought it would be fun to throw him a back-to-school lunch party...



I love Blumeboxes! This is my homage to those adorable flower boxes - with a crayon box twist.



For the menu board I took a chalkboard and covered it with foam paper styled after an old schoolhouse...



I used cafeteria trays that I found at the dollar store - the kids loved them! I also used a pencil box to hold the plastic utensils - definitely take advantage of those back-to-school sales!



For lunch I thought it would be appropriate to serve my son's favorite sandwich - PB & J. I tried to jazz up the sandwich stand with alphabet stickers...



I dug out my son's old plastic school bus to hold the chips. Thank goodness I found another use for this - it was going to be hard for me to part with my little guy's first bus!



For dessert I made rice crispie treats shaped like crayons. This was super easy - just add food coloring to a basic rice crispie treat recipe and then cut out the crayon shape. I printed the crayola labels from the net and attached them to cling wrap that went around the treats.



What would a back-to-school lunch party be without milk?



Everyone had a great time at lunch - this might have to become an annual event!
