Hook the Drive-By Crowd
The drop-off/pick up area is a visual treasure site, with parents inching forward, waiting their turn. They'll read these shaving cream knock-off signs and smile!



Install signs the first morning of your Scholastic Book Fair, and use them throughout the week. Reposition them to line the school entrance for your Book Fair Family Event and go all out with tiki torches or candles (with guards) at the base of shovels.

How To:
If you can't dig in the dirt, plant the shovels in pails filled with sand. Decorate rope with styrofoam balls (buoys); drill hole in styrofoam with a pencil and attach to shovels, as shown above. Position your signs on stakes so that verses progress as drivers inch forward. Change them daily and enjoy the feedback!
