My Future's So Bright, I Have to Wear Shades Craftivity {FREEBIE}

Are you looking for a fun way to spruce up your bare bulletin boards at the beginning of the year?  At the beginning of the year, it's essential to set a positive tone, right away.  I love to do that in many ways.  One of my favorite ways is to take a photo of kiddos on the very first day and do this fun craftivity.  Who doesn't love a photo?

We have Back to School Night on the 3rd day of school so this is always a crowd pleaser for the parents!

Quick Tip #1: Hang up a rug or a blanket as your backdrop.  This sign is from my End of the Year Bundle.

How to Use this Craft:

-Take a 4x6 photo of each kiddo (color photos look best, but black and white is fun with colored sunglasses)

-Print out the colored sunglasses

-Let students pick their glasses and glue onto the photo

-Pass out the writing paper (there are 2 different line options to choose from)

-Have students write a goal or two that they have for the year

-Glue the photo and writing onto bright paper for a POP of color

Quick Tip #2:

If I have time, I love to have a little gift for my kiddos on the first day.  It lets them know I care about them and am excited for the upcoming year.  This by no means is necessary.  I bought a 6 pack of neon sunglasses at the 99cent store for just 99 cents.  What a deal!  I added this little {freebie} tag to them and passed them out at the end of the day.  Our class looked pretty awesome walking to pick up with our neon shades on!

I hope your kiddos have as much fun with the creativity as mine do!
