Creating a DIY School Cone: A Unique Way to Celebrate the Start of School
The beginning of school is an exciting milestone in every child's life. A cherished tradition in Germany is the "Schultüte" or school cone. This colorful, cone-shaped package is filled with candies, small gifts, and useful school supplies. Why not make this year extra special by crafting your own DIY school cone?
What is a School Cone?
A school cone is a large, cone-shaped container traditionally given on a child's first day of school. It is packed with treats, small toys, and school supplies. Creating your own school cone can be a wonderful activity that involves your child in the back-to-school preparations and makes them feel special.
Materials for Your DIY School Cone Before you start, gather the following materials:
- Colored cardboard or construction paper
- Scissors and glue
- Ribbons and bows
- Stickers and decorations
- Tissue paper or crepe paper for the top closure
- Fillings: candies, small toys, pens, personalized name labels for pens, and a school set
Step-by-Step Instructions
Create the Base Shape: Cut a large triangle from the colored cardboard. Roll it into a cone shape and glue the edges together. This will be the base of your school cone.
Decorate: Let your child decorate the school cone as they like. Use stickers, ribbons, bows, and other decorations. Personalize it with name labels for pens to make the back-to-school experience even more exciting.
Add the Closure: Cut the crepe paper or tissue paper into strips and glue them around the top opening of the cone. This adds a finishing touch and ensures the contents stay secure.
Fill It Up: Now for the fun part! Fill the cone with candies, small toys, and useful school supplies. Don’t forget to include the Melu Kids school set, which features personalized name labels for pens, rulers, water bottles, and more—ideal for the start of school.
