First Day of School Buffet

The first day of school is big deal; and therefore, it deserves to be celebrated. It's a hectic day for everyone, but I love the idea of surprising kids with a simple after school "back to school" buffet. Today, I am sharing some fantastic ideas and free printable labels that will add to the fun.


The centerpiece of my simple first day of school buffet is this super-fun giant chocolate chip cookie(You can find the recipe for my soft and chewy cookie tart here.) The cookie tart is delicious plain, but for some added fun, you can use store bought icing to add a special message for your "smart cookies".


Sweet tarts are also a tasty treat, and they are perfect for the first day of school with a "Here's to a SWEET start to this school year!" tag.


And how cute are these gummy "book WORMS"?


And these packs of excel gum are a cute addition to a first day of school buffet with "I hope you had an EXCELlent day!" tags.


And teddy bear crackers are great in a jar with "It's going to be a BEARy good year!" tags.


Finally... it's fun to add a non-edible element to the first day of school celebrations. I love these silly and colorful dollar store glasses in a jar with a tag that says, "LOOKing forward to a great school year!" 


To download any of the tags I designed (below): click on the tag below, right-click, save it to your computer, and print it like a regular 4x6 photo.




See how cute the first day of school buffet looks when it all comes together?


My boys are going to love enjoying these treats when they get home from school, and I'm going to love hearing about their first day!
