Back to School Dinner Tradition

Back to School Decor

Back to School Menu

Mom, are you ready for this?! This is no ordinary invitation.  Each child gets to put in a request for a dinner item and a dessert item.  It might be wise, depending on how many back-to-school kids are at your table, for you to pick one request from each child.  The kids will love seeing their request making a statement on the dinner table. This might be the most interesting dinner you have all year!

Back to School Interview

Take a moment before the meal and have each child fill out this cute back to school interview.  It’s amazing how much kids change in one year.  Sometimes I wish I could stop time and keep them small for a little longer.  Years from now, this little paper will be a family treasure.    

Back to School Bookmark Note

Before dinner, take a minute to write a personal note to each child on this printable bookmark.  Once your note is done, fold in half and glue together.  Now your child has a little piece of encouragement and love with them every day.  If you’d like, you could laminate the bookmark (I LOVE this laminator in case you’re looking for one), punch a hole in the top, and add a ribbon.

Taking a moment to really connect as a family before the rush and business of the first day of school is so important.  Enjoy this time together and don’t forget your free printables!
