Testing treats for my students!!



This week and next week my students will be taking the Maryland State Assessment Tests (MSA) for Math and Reading.  I like to keep their spirits up and encourage them to do their best!!  I created these little treats using the Everyday Paper Doll cartridge using the farmer overalls.  I used the Real Dial Size button and cut each one at 6 inches.  A white gel pen was used to write, "Do your best on the test SMARTIE PANTS", blue 12 by 12 cardstock and of course..... the Smarties candies which my third graders love!  (Walmart had a large bag of Smarties for $2.00 )  I was able to get 8 overalls per 12 by 12 page and used mono adhesive to attach the candy.  These are super easy to make!!  I know my students are going to "rock" the test!!!  Have a great week everyone!!!!!!!!!!

  6. I made these last year for my students before PSSA's. Did you get your idea from Family Fun magazine. It was in there I believe as a valentine, but thought they made great testing treats!

  8. Hi Rae-beccadesigns!
    I have not seen the Family Fun magazine's version but I would love to! I made these last year but used a denim pant from the same cartridge-I thought this year the overalls would be super cute! :)

  9. I used the denim jeans from paper dolls using denim looking paper. If I get creative this weekend I may make some for next week. The kids love them!
