Last month my 5 year old son started Kindergarten! I was very excited but mostly nervous. A few months ago I came across a school supply cake & decided I would make one for my sons Kindergarten class. I almost didn't make one, because of money, but luckily we had grandparents help buy some of his school supplies & I also started babysitting. So I was able to have enough school supplies to make this. I also had a lot of stuff left over from our homeschool supplies that I had purchased from Target last year when they had it 90% off, so most of that went into the teacher's gift. I also shopped the sales at Office Depot/Max last year & this year too, so we have plenty of extra notebooks, & folders.
To begin, I took the rest of the school supplies that had to be taken to school but wouldn't fit in my sons backpack, & the extras I bought & put his school supply cake together. It took me about 3 hours total to make it, however, I kept getting interrupted by kids every other minute so I worked on it throughout the day. I added the final touches the next morning, which was hot gluing the ribbon, & making the mini chalkboard. I was not able to take pictures of the whole process unfortunately, but I did take a few in the beginning. I'll explain how I put it together in the video. Here's some pictures from my thought process though. I'm also going to add a video on my Youtube channel as well. I'll post a link at the bottom of this post.

These were a huge hit this evening at my sons Meet the teacher night. His teacher loved the gifts, & was very surprised. No one else had brought anything like these.
