100th day of school ideas: Easy ways to celebrate
Part of the fun of celebrating the 100th day of school is creating something that shows off your creativity while commemorating this fun day. Try out one of these easy 100th-day-of-school craft ideas.
4. Make a personalized 100th-day-of-school item for your child
If you’re one of the 2.5 million Cricut Design Space subscribers, you already have a plethora of options at your fingertips. The digital cutting machine offers Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) files that you can download to create a variety of customized designs to transfer to T-shirts, mugs, and home decor. Use one of the pre-made SVGs or use the software to create a design of your own.
5. Have your child create their own 100th-day T-shirt
Hand the reigns over to your child and let them create their own creative masterpiece to wear to school on the 100th day, as mom Sarah Pruitt did in the photo above. “Jacqueline is making 100 stripes on a shirt with fabric paint; it’s going to end up being 50 on the front and 50 on the back,” Pruitt told Mom.com about her daughter’s project.
6. Celebrate 100 years of The Walt Disney Company
If your family is like ours, you never miss a chance to incorporate Disney into your daily life. Since 2023 marks the 100th anniversary of The Walt Disney Company, this is the perfect time to add some Disney to your 100th-day celebration. If a trip to the Happiest Place on Earth may not be in the cards, there are plenty of documentaries on Disney+ that will get you in the house of mouse spirit. Some of our favorites include One Day at Disney Shorts, The Imagineering Story, The Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Adventure Through the Walt Disney Archives.
7. Perform acts of community service
Consider organizing a 100th-day-of-school event that gives back to the community in some way. One way to do this is to work with the school’s parent-teacher organization to help ensure widespread involvement. The school could collect 100 hats or mittens or books and games to donate to a shelter or charity.
8. Bring the neighborhood together with a block party
Celebrations aren’t limited to the confines of the school grounds. If weather permits, you may want to get together with other parents from the bus stop to organize a weekend block party celebrating this school year milestone. Consider an afternoon at a local trampoline park (taking turns jumping to reach a total of a hundred spirited jumps, perhaps?), or an indoor entertainment complex if it’s too cold for an outdoor event.
