Schultuete

My brother and his family just moved to Germany.

When I say just I mean like 3 weeks ago.

Right after they left I found out about the Schultuete (school cones).

Thank you pinterest.

They're a German back to school tradition that started in the 1800's.

Its basically a cone filled with school items.  Germany's make huge ones with

first day of school outfits, pens, markers, anything you could need for school really.

I new right away that I wanted to make some for my brothers kids heading off to a new school 

in a new country.  He only has 2 in school full time right now but I decided not to leave out the

little ones and made one for each.

Since I didn't have a lot of time on my hands and I wanted the schultues 

to reach them before they started school.  I used mostly what I had on hand.

I ran to Targets dollar spot it get the school supplies.

I also sent some Chic Fa La sauce for my brother and his wife.

Who doesn't love this sauce?
