What you will need for this graduation treat.

  • Wiggly Eyes
  • Construction Paper (Black or your school’s colors)
  • Twine / String
  • Furniture Button
  • Sharpie



Instructions for Lil grad, the graduation treat idea for primary school

  1. Glue on the wiggly eyes to your cup. We used applesauce cups but you could use pudding cups or fruit cups. Whatever fits best for your kids’ classroom.

  2. Cut out a square piece of construction paper. We made classic black graduation caps but you can choose whatever colors work for you.

  3. Color a furniture button with a black sharpie and glue it to the top of your “cap.”

  4. Create the tassel using two strings of twine. Fold one piece of twine in half and use the other to tie in a knot creating the hanger part.

  5. Hang the tassel on the button and glue it down if needed.

Create these little grads using apple sauce, pudding or fruit cups. So cute for your elementary kids graduations.
