You may remember this gorgeous map that we purchased for our recent Back to School Party. It was a hard decision (we are so in love with this map) but we are giving it away to one lucky winner! You can see many more amazing maps at These Are Things.
If you’d like a chance to win this map, just leave a comment on this post. You can comment on every post this week that features an item you would like to win. At the end of the week I’ll pick one winner from each post. I’ll have 5 prizes and 5 winners. Oh, and make sure to leave your email address in the comment form so that I can contact you when you win! I’ll post the winners next Monday.
p.s. If you’re reading this post on Facebook, please click through and leave a comment on the actual blog post. Facebook doesn’t allow giveaways that aren’t regulated by them and it’s also easier to keep track of everyone if all the comments are in one place. Thank you!

Send everyone home from your Back to School Party with their own bag of school supplies. Just print out these back to school labels and attach them to a brown lunch bag. Or you can use these labels on your child’s lunch. A little note from home will bring a smile to their face. These lunch labels fit on printable Avery Labels #8163 (when printing, do NOT scale to fit the page).

Need some back to school ideas? Having your own Back to School Party? Here are a few more details from our faux dessert table + a free download to use for the straws on the glue bottles.
- For the lunchboxes: Put styrofoam squares in the lunch boxes and then push scissors and highlighters down into the foam and cover with paperclips.
- For the tabletop: On a black and white copy machine, enlarge the pattern from a composition book onto 11×17 paper and tape them to the top of the table.
- For the packs of crayons: Cut a math flashcard in half and tape or staple it on the bag.
- For the garland: Cut triangles of scrapbook paper and then paperclip them onto a ribbon.
And that gorgeous map in the background is from These Are Things.

Here is the tutorial for the back to school pencil cake: You’ll need two styrofoam cake rounds, a few inches smaller in diameter than your cake stand.
1. Using tacky glue, glue the two cake rounds together and let dry.
2. Put two file size rubber bands around the styrofoam cake. Carefully slide pencils under the rubber bands until the entire styrofoam cake round is covered.
3. Add loose rubber bands on top of the cake for frosting.
4. To create the pencil candles, push red pencils with yellow eraser caps into the foam top.

Fall is here, hear the yell. Back to school, ring the bell…
Numbers, letters, learn to spell. Nouns, and books, and show and tell…
It’s time for a back to school party! We’ve designed a faux dessert table for this party with the school supplies taking the cake as both the decorations and the party favors. We’ll show you the details all this week.

Read all about it–more teacher gift ideas. For a longer lasting present, we love this personalized stamp from Paperwink. You can customize it to include the teacher’s name and the year that he or she started teaching. Teachers can stamp the classroom books that belong to their own personal collection, so there’s no confusion.
