With the end of the school year comes my boys' favorite time of year...
SUMMER BREAK. Time for end of the year treats for the kids to give to a friend or two.
Last year I made up Have a Kool Summer printables to go with Kool-Aid packets.
This year's end of the school friend gift idea came when I found these gummy whales.
Gummy Whales! I had never seen gummy whales before. My brain immediately came up with this play on words--Have a Whaley Good Summer. Like seriously, right there in the store. I was standing in front of the bin candy. I stood there staring at the gummy whales running the play on words through my head all while Bean sat patiently in the grocery cart. It is like he is used to this sort of spontaneous grocery store brain storm session.
P.S. Does your brain think in play on words? It doesn't. Hmmm. So what you are saying I am not normal.
Hehehe, well I knew that.
Anyway, so I came up with this idea. I bought myself a bag of gummy whales and then I went home and started putting some together.
I put the gummy whales in a treat bag, tied it up with a scrap of fabric. I tied on the tag and then put the treat bag in a fun chevron cup. I love these little cups, they are meant for ice cream, but I think they are great for holding treats. Plus the chevron pattern reminded me of the ocean.
Oceans are where whales live. So it really just made sense.

Hope you are excited to have a Whaley good summer! We sure are.
