Schultüte

...time is flying…


This picture was taken 6 years ago, on my daughters 1 day in school.
It’s an old tradition; When children in Germany set off for their first day in school upon entering first grade, their parents and/or grandparents present them with a big cardboard cone, prettily decorated and filled with toys, chocolate, candies, school supplies, and various other goodies. It is given to children to make this anxiously awaited first day of school a little bit sweeter.
You can by them readymade…but of cause with a studio filled with all kind of papers It’s so much fun for me to make them by my own.

This year, after the summer holiday, it’s our sons turn!
