Hip Hip Hooray For Summer Treat Stick

As the school year winds down. I came up with these little Treat Sticks using the little 1x8 bags to hold M&M. It makes a nice have a great summer gift. I LOVE the new Create a Critter Cartridge. I have gone a little crazy with it lately. I use the little hippo from the create a critter cartridge. I did find the hip hip hooray a bit too girly to use for any of my boys.

Plus I didn't really want to worry about layering the phrase on the hippo either. I decided to use the 'ol image editor and come up with my own take on the phrase. I also wanted the word summer in my phrase. I decided to print the hip hip hooray for summer on the hippo's butt. The kid's, high school teenagers, really liked them. I think a lot of time we treat high schoolers too grown up and think they wouldn't want such baby-ish trinkets, but really they enjoy being a kid again if only for 5 minutes as they eat the candy and play with the hippo and dream about all the fun they will be free to have, when in a few days, summer offically starts for them.
