Instructions
Place the poster board on a flat surface in front of you, with the shorter width side at the bottom. Starting in the right lower corner, roll the poster board from the lower corner toward the top corner to form a cone. Holding the cone, release it a little so that it unrolls (just a little, not all the way) to make the inside part of the cone larger. (It may take a couple of practice rolls to achieve this). You want the top (open part) of the cone to be larger than the bottom (tip). Think of an ice cream cone shape. Secure the seam all the way done the cone on the outside with clear tape. (Packing tape works the best.)
Print out multiple copies of the free Minecraft printable. Tape the pages (decoration side out) around the outside of the cone you just made until it is completely covered in Minecraft paper.
Wrap some of your back to school cone gifts in tissue paper. Stuff the bottom of the cone with tissue paper to prevent smaller items from falling out (especially important if the point, or bottom, of your cone ended up having a bigger opening).
Put the bigger (more important gifts) into the cone first, so they're the last things that are opened.
Layer in different gifts, tissue paper, school supplies and candy.
End your back to school cone by either taping tissue paper over the top or just stuffing in different pieces of tissue paper from the cone.
Present the school cone to your student on the first day of school! (Don't forget the back to school pictures!)
