Homework Survival Kit

I finally took my own suggestions (hee!) and created our family Homework Survival Kit.   The kit is just one part of BMTM’s Homework Packet and Survival Kit (updated September 2018) and I have been wanting to make it for a while. And, this morning I was inspired by the Crayola buy one get one free promotion at Toys r Us.

Materials:

• container of some sort
• school supplies (pencils, crayons, markers, colored pencils, erasers, scissors, pencil sharpener, glue stick etc)

Creating the Homework Survival Kit

The Container

I did not want to buy a new container so I took 4 empty water bottles we had in our recycling, cleaned and dried them, cut off the tops. and taped them together.

I then used some cute contact paper we had in our craft closet and wrapped it around the bottles and over the edges because they are a bit sharp.

The Supplies

I picked up a handful of school supplies from the store…

Then added a few things we already had…

Putting It All Together

We then opened up all the boxes and put our supplies in our Homework Survival Kit. I also plan to add a number line for math homework, but haven’t printed it yet. Click here for a free number line.

Then we added our label and now we are all ready for whatever homework comes our way!

Here are a few new labels I made to share with you. Simply click on the image to download!
