Awww, cool! I know this is common in Germany for the first day of school, but I have never seen this done in the U.S.

I just saw a friend's the other day and she had decorated her little girls in a mermaid theme but she had not yet filled it with all the goodies. Good luck as your little one starts school!

yes, I heard it's not common in the US as well as in England. it's very traditionall here in germany and the cone gets filled with little toys, school thingies and of course with lots of yummy candies...

we have two weeks more to go...

I don't understand? Is it just like a present for them? And what are the cigarettes and nail scissors for?

LOL - yes, it's just a present. they wear them on their first day of school! the cigarettes were only to keep my patience while making the cone LOL and I needed the nail scissors to cut out all those tiny little stuff! I am not a hybrid girl so I don't have any special equipment
