Does your school celebrate the 100th Day of School? In Kindergarten the kids each get to come up with a 100 Days Project, anything that has 100 items. This week marked the 100th Day of School for our kiddos – – maybe you’ve already past that milestone, but if not, here’s a fun idea for a celebratory project – heart garland!

It turned out so cute and was a super easy project that she could see immediate progress on as she punched the hearts.

100th Day of School
As a kindergartner my daughter needed a project to commemorate the 100 Day milestone. We went through lots of ideas but last minute thought of heart garland and it’s perfect! We used:
—10 pieces of colored cardstock
–sewing machine or twine and glue
To help her know that she had 100 hearts, we broke it down to make it easy. She punched 10 hearts out of 10 different pieces of paper. So she had 10 piles of 10. She counted again at the end to be sure it was 100.
Simple Heart Garland Assembly
You have a couple of different options for assembling the hearts into a garland, sewing or gluing.
We sewed the hearts into a strip. YES, you can use your sewing machine to sew paper – its super easy! She helped by handing or placing each heart and I helped guide them through the sewing machine.
Another option is to lay out a long piece of twine and then run a line of glue along the backside of each heart. Then place the twine over the heart in the line of glue.
She plans on giving to her teacher to use for classroom decor after the projects are over – so fun!
100th Day of School Ideas
–Apparently I lean towards a heart theme because a couple of years ago this is what my oldest daughter made, the 100 Day Heart, from rolled felt
—100 Days Cat Shirt – love the glitter cat on this one!
