Eye balls

using a large egg carton

Yes, I bought more colored googly eyes

plus I found this awesome printable 

to use them!

Purple cauldrons!

Found these in the craft section.

The white ones I use for my

mini eraser cups are in the snack 

area. These were in the art section.

I take out the bottom stake and we use them as pointers.

See how I used the white chalk writer

I used the chalk marker for this frame.

The frame and purple paint

all came from the Dollar Tree.

I am thinking a race with these.

Don't forget to check out local sale groups.

I got all of these fancy scissors

Hot Chocolate Party with Mug Gifts

This year we went back to school after winter break for one day. I am not starting anything new, so I decided to have a hot chocolate and pajama party instead.

If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram (you're just a click away if you want to follow me :) you saw this photo:

So here are the details:

This is a perfect gift for your students.  We aren't celebrating Christmas, and I don't want any hurt feelings, so we will celebrate hot chocolate instead.

Every year, I buy plastic mugs from Oriental Trading when they clearance them out lol It doesn't really matter what the insert is because you take that part anyways.

Then I grabbed these Labels for personalized mugs:

Then I pick out kids that match my students!  The look on my kids faces are priceless. :)   There are tons of choices. This year I plan to take a photo with the kids holding their mugs next to their faces :) I missed that last year, so that's my tip to you :)

For the party part

I am going to heat up chocolate milk in my crockpot and add marshmallows, sprinkles, and whipped cream too!


Note to self: I tell the kids to take out the insert and NOT wash it.  Even when it's laminated, it won't make it through the wash. I learned the hard way.
