Au Pairs Participate in Step Into School

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.

NOLSchultute

It is a German tradition to present first graders with large, brightly decorated cones on the first day of school. Each cone, or tute, is filled with toys, school supplies and candy, just to make that first day extra sweet and special.

Come and let Svenja, Jackie and their Au Pair in America friends help you make your own Schultute.

Where? At the Louisiana Children’s Museum, of course!
