I’m planning on hitting the dollar store later today for the bags and items so that I can make a bunch of these cute Back to School Survival Kits from Tip Junkie for the kids in my neighborhood!! I know they’re going to LOVE it!
All you need is a cute brown bag with handles, the cards printed from the link below, and the items that match the cards.
Another great idea for using the cards – stick one per day with the corresponding item in your child’s lunch pail! What a happy surprise! Have fun!

Hey Julie,
I used the Scripture Survival kit as a MOPS Steering Team survival kit for my leaders at our recent retreat. It was a big hit!
Sister – those MOPs ladies are so blessed to have you as a leader! You’re awesome! Keep up the great work and fill me in on any other fabulous ideas you come across! Love you.
Since my son already started school I’m going to tuck these little treasures into his lunchbox each day! I know he’ll love it! Thanks for sharing the cards, Julie!
I think this is a great idea!!!!! I also have two granddaughters that are not of school age yet. Would like to give them something too. Any body know of any “survival kit” for them?
