Well, the kids are heading back to school shortly. This means we will be heading to the shops to search for new pencils, notebooks and binders. But, as kids get older they might be looking for creative ways to head back to school. We have shared all kinds of fun crafts for tweens to make and this collection of cool back to school crafts for tweens to make is a fun way for kids to get ready to head back to class.

collage of back to school crafts for tweens - pencils, diy chalkboard, diy erasers, bulletin board, notebooks and pen cups.

I can clearly remember my school binders, in fact, I still have one of my old binders in a box in my basement. My binder was covered in colourful tape, writing and doodles. I found my own way to make my mark on my school book. Nowadays kids have laptops and phones, but they still carry those binders and they still have a desk at home.

How will your kids personalize their homework spaces? How will they creatively express themselves at school? Maybe with one of these cool back to school crafts.
