“When do we go back to school?” My girls ask this on repeat—so I made a fun paper chain countdown to give them a visual (and get them excited for the big day! 📚✂️). All you need is construction paper, scissors, and a stapler. Each day they’ll take off a chain until it’s finally the first day of school! 🎒💛
