Disclosure: After using Kleenex® Facial Tissues for years, I have since partnered with them to bring awareness to others within this post. As ALWAYS, I only recommend products that I truly love, and all opinions included are 100% my own.
Fall is lurking around the corner, school supplies are being purchased in abundance, summer days are wrapping up, and flu season is in our not so distant future. These can all only mean one thing… it is back-to-school time! While the start of the school year may have crept up on you (wasn’t it JUST June?!), after only a brief amount of time spent at your child’s back-to-school orientation night, it is very obvious that it has far from crept up on your child’s educators.
Classrooms are decorated, handbooks are created, and all questions have answers. With so much already in place, you are wondering what you can possibly do to help. After all, you definitely see the importance and value in actively assisting your child’s education whenever possible. Little did you know, this year you can creatively give back to your child’s school while involving your child in the process. Furthermore, it is far more easy, affordable, and fun than you may think!
Discovering the need.
If you are a parent of a school-aged child, than it is more likely than not that you have (or soon will) receive an email from your child’s teacher asking for you to bring in a series of items as able. While these items vary, facial tissues often top the list. Why? Because as wonderful as the start of a new school year may be, the accompanying flu season is simply dreadful. In fact, I have yet to meet a parent that wouldn’t gladly purchase facial tissues for their child’s classroom in an effort to try and prevent their kiddos from getting sick. So, why not help your child’s school, while simultaneously helping prevent your child (and your accompanying household) from getting sick in the process?!
Hidden benefit.
Not only will providing facial tissues for your child’s school/classroom help with the spread of germs, BUT, by purchasing Kleenex® Facial Tissue from Costco, it will also be giving back in the form of Box Tops, which earn the school money! Each bundle includes 15 BONUS Box Tops!
Decreased colds, increased funds… you will officially become a classroom hero!
Why just give back when you can creatively give back?
Now that you have discovered the perfect way to give back, why not do so creatively and include your child in on the process?
Allow your child to take pride in giving back to their school by sharing in the fun and putting their own personal and creative spin on each and every box. Not only will your child’s teacher be incredibly grateful for the tissue box, but they will love the creative decor featured in their classroom. As a result, your child will take great pride in knowing that their creative work is featured for their classmates to enjoy!
How it is done.
Simply visit your local Costco where you are sure to get the best price (including $4 off on the Kleenex Facial Tissue bundle from 8/9 to 9/2 if you are a member). Then, find and purchase one or more Kleenex Facial Tissue 10count Bundles, 230 sheets. Next, come back home and allow your child to get creative personalizing the boxes! Lastly, allow your child to take great pride delivering their personalized Kleenex Facial Tissue Boxes to their teacher and feel great joy in knowing you are giving back to your child’s school.
Craft Supplies
While the craft supplies for your boxes can be completely personalized to what you have on hand or what excites your child most, a few of our favorite items include: construction/colored paper, googly craft eyes, yarn, buttons, stickers, markers, crayons, glue, tape, scissors, and more.
Want to take it a step further?
Looking for a way to give back on an even larger scale? Or perhaps your children have now graduated but you want to continue giving back to a school that holds a special place in your heart?
Simply buy several of the Kleenex Facial Tissue bundles available at Costco and donate them to a classroom. Then, encourage their teacher and the students to each decorate 1-2 boxes (as a group activity) to be displayed year-round in their classroom!

We are a Box Tops school and it’s amazing how much all those individual tops can yield for a school. As we say, it’s hip to clip!! Cute tissue boxes and great craft for kids!
