Au pairs participated in Step Into School event at the Louisiana Children’s Museum this past Saturday.  As in the previous year, they helped children make (i.e. decorate and roll up) German Schultuten.

A schuletute is a gift tote (paper cone) that first-graders get from parents and grandparents on the first day of school. The tote is filled with candy, chocolate, and toys to make children’s first-day-of-school experience “sweeter”.

Many young artist enjoyed painting , trimming, and putting glitter on their creations.
