First Day Magic Dust Materials: Confetti, string, beads, pipe cleaners, pom poms, paper, and any other things you can create your own confetti mixture with. A container for your magic dust such as a Ziploc bag or a small jar. A printer, or a pen and paper to print the poem to go with it. This is a simple way to calm your child’s nerves on the night before their first day of school. You can have your kids help with this project or do it yourself without them knowing, so they think it’s from a magical place. Mix several materials of different textures, colors, etc., and put it into a Ziploc bag or a small jar. Write a poem to go with the magic dust, explaining what it will help your kids with prior to going to school the next day. Get them excited about it by telling them it will guard them against any bad experiences, and it will help them to make friends and have fun.
