Pencil Gift Box filled with snacks for kids.

Are your kids back in school yet? This is the first year that I have both my boys in school (my four year old is going to a half day preschool) so it’s kinda a big moment for us as a family. Somehow I became the mother of school age children instead of babies. Where does the time go?! To celebrate new beginnings for everyone, I made the boys a fun Back To School Pencil Gift Box filled with some of their favorite snacks to welcome them after their busy first day!

Assembling the Pencil Gift Box

After designing these Pencil Boxes on my computer, putting them together is an absolute breeze. Just trim along the edges, fold along the marked creases, and tape in place. I did all the hard work for you so that you could finish these boxes within minutes!

Perfect for Teachers Too!

I used this Pencil Gift Box for my kids but how perfect would they be for a back-to-school gift for teachers too! You could fill it with candy or a coffee gift card to help make the transition to a new school year easier. I know that parents are super busy when it comes to sending their kids back to school. That’s why this box is perfect, only takes a few minutes to assemble and fill!

Back To School

I placed this special snack on my son’s desk to discover while he was starting homework. He was so excited to dig into the snacks that he couldn’t even sit still for the quick picture I took above! It’s nice to know that even though I’m crazy busy balancing work and motherhood, the little things still mean so much to him!

Hope you guys put these Back To School Pencil Gift Boxes to good use! They’re great for after school snacking but would work equally as well for teacher gifts. As always, please refrain from using for commercial purposes or might have to come after you with my ruler!
