The Best Thing About The First Day Of School

Posted in Art Supplies, Back to School, Fun Ideas, Gifts for Kids, School Supplies at 5:59 am by Deb Savvy

Remember when you were a little kid and how exciting exciting it was to have all those new school supplies. Especially that brand new box of crayons. If you were really lucky, you might have had that fabulous box of 64 colors with the built in sharpener.

Things haven’t changed all that much over the years. Those new crayons are one of the best things about the first days of kindergarten and first grade. And that classic box of 64 colors has gotten even better!
