To ease the transition, here’s a little poem for you.  Simple parent directions:  Read the poem to your child and take a little bit of glitter and sprinkle it under their pillow.  Teacher directions to make them in bulk are below the poem).

I made the above Back-to-School Fairy fancy containers for my nieces.  I put the poem and a glitter in a small sealed bag and wrapped the scrapbook paper around it.

If you have elementary age children, they may enjoy making them for your teacher friends.  My children made 50 sets for some of our First grade teacher / friends.  

Supplies for the Back-to-School Fairy for Teachers

Supplies List:

Note: I was able to purchase all of the supplies at Walmart

Teachers:  You only need a pinch of sequins.  I don’t want parents writing me upset about the mess!  The kind featured above is for ages 6+ and is the large chunky kind, one Walmart size bag was enough for 60+ kids if you just give them a little.  I think each child’s bag had about 10 pieces.
