100th Day of School ideas!

Today is my son's 100th day of Kindergarten!   Wow time has flown by so fast!

Most schools require the kids to either dress like an 100 yr old or do a project.  Our kids' school does the projects and send home ideas like counting out a 100 pennies and sending them in, making a log house out of 100 pretzel rods, etc.


Well last year we opted for out daughter to glue 100 buttons on a shirt!

Items needed:
Aileen's Okay to Wash Fabric Glue - $2.99
Cotton Shirt - $3
Bag of buttons (100 min.) - $4
cardboard
wax paper

Place the card board wrapped in wax paper on the inside of the shirt.  This way the front shirt won't stick to the back of the shirt.   Then glue on 100 buttons!


This year we opted to do a monster shirt for our son with 100 googly eyes glued on it.

Items needed:
Aileen's Okay to Wash Fabric Glue - $2.99
Cotton Shirt - $3
100 Googly Eyes (I bought mine last year at Target after Valentine's Clearance at $.25 a bag)
Puffy Fabric Paint - $1.29
cardboard
wax paper

You will need a few days to work on this project.  Place the card board wrapped in wax paper on the inside of the shirt.  This way the front shirt won't stick to the back of the shirt.   Help the child draw out the monster design  and allow to dry on a flat surface for a minimum of 4 hours (we let ours dry overnight).

Count out 100 googly eyes and have child glue them all over the monster.  Let shirt then dry overnight again.  Gently peel off wax paper from the inside of shirt and make sure all eyes are secure on front of shirt.  You may to need to reapply a little glue!

  1. When my daughter did this in Kindergarten, we took a picture of her EVER DAY for the first 100 days of school and then I helped her make a 5th photo album that she proudly brought in with her on the 100th day celebration!
