After a decade of homeschooling, my kids are all now in public school.
Honestly, I was a hot mess last year, but this year I’m pretty excited for them.
To help them get ready, we’ve been making some pencil topper crafts that are adorable.
They’re super cute and will make my daughter’s pencils extra special when she heads off to the classroom.
The best part about the crafts below is that, for the most part, they’re easy to make and don’t require a lot of extra crafting supplies.
You can customize them with your child’s favorite colors too.
They’re also perfect for tweens and teens who need a quick craft!
