End of School Year Treat Bags

When my boys were in elementary school, we celebrated anything and everything. This included the end of the school year. Years ago, I found the adorable treat bag toppers featured above from an online merchant who,sadly, is no longer in business.You can view my original post here. I did, however, do a little research for you to find some fun toppers and have some ideas on how to fill them. Most of them are instant downloads, so you can print them at home.I usually pick up the bags at Michael's, but you can also use sandwich bags or these .
     This cute topper obviously is perfect for a treat bag filled with a s'mores kit. Include a mini Hershey bar, a marshmallow or several mini marshmallows and a couple of graham crackers. Ideal summer treat.

   Kids always enjoy goldfish. Add some of the goldfish crackers to a treat bag or buy the mini bags of goldfish and top with this design. Fun and easy.

Summer is all about the cool treats. A good idea for this topper would be a gift card to a local ice or ice cream shop, or these cute treats . Maybe even some sprinkles or other ice-cream toppings.  Ice-cream flavored jelly beans would also be fun!

The beauty of this topper is that it can be filled with anything sweet, Choose your favorite candies and fill up the bags!

If you would prefer to stay away from edibles, this one is a nice way to send friends off for the summer. Pick up some balls,or deflated beach balls and each child gets one.

This topper was the closest in design to the one I used in my original post. I can be filled with anything you choose. I filled mine with alligator cookies that we made, candies and store bought cookies. It really is all about keeping it easy and fun.

One last idea is another easy one. Pick up some sidewalk chalk in bulk and toss a few into each bag. Kids love to draw all over the sidewalks in the summer.

I hope you are able to use some of these ideas and tags to make life a bit easier as the school year winds down. You can really fill them with so many different things from sunglasses to sweets . Have your children help by filling the bags and folding the toppers. Have fun!
