These Back To School Tic Tac Labels are the perfect way to start the new school year! Download, print, and give them to students, teachers, and friends!
Here are a few more Back to School printables we think you’ll love – School Banner, Back to School Family Dinner, and Printable Lunch Box Notes. 
We are taking over the Tic Tac world with more themed labels than I can even count! These Back to School labels are my favorite set yet. I love them because they are simple. I love them because my kids love them. I love them because they make my kids feel special. I love them. (Did I mention that I love them?) You can love them with me! Want to make your own? Here is the simple tutorial –
BACK TO SCHOOL TIC TAC LABELS
MATERIALS –
- glue stick*
- labels (download here)
- tic tacs in a variety of colors
- scissors
*If you’d like to get even fancier, print these off on sticker paper, and eliminate the need for a glue stick.
DIRECTIONS –
- Cut out labels.
- Glue the labels on the Tic Tacs
- …that’s it!
How freakin’ easy is that?! You can leave them as is, or apply ribbon, buttons, washi tape, glitter, or whatever your heart desires!

This would be a FABULOUS Valentines day idea….. especially for boys who wanna be cool and funny, but not cutesy… and for their moms who love to be creative and cutesy and try not to force ideas on their boyish boys and struggle to find boyish funny cool crafty unique designs for valentines day. Thank you 🙂
Sarah says
Lol! Jane- I loved this comment. Yes and yes. 😉 Those boys who wanna be cool and funny might also like the love bug poop I made for the Valentines Tic Tac labels. 😉 Here’s the link: http://www.somewhatsimple.com/tic-tac-valentines-free-download/

I consider myself to be pretty casual and easy-going, but I really think that having children – particularly young kids – mix the idea of medicine/pills vs. candy really isn’t a good idea. Not to mention giving the impression to adolescent/preteens that “pills” will help you be More Awesome! Smarter! More Fun! Have More Energy! etc. Kind of like how we view candy cigarettes now – it’s really pretty disturbing to see kids pretend to smoke, even if it’s candy; same thing here – really disturbing to see kids pop pretend pills to get through the day.
Like I said, I know this makes me sound super uptight, and I am absolutely the anti version of uptight (and otherwise think this is a cute idea) but I don’t think that this is really appropriate for kids (teachers – definitely!)
Sarah says
Heather- thank you for your comment. You have a very valid point- one that I agree with and ALMOST didn’t post these because of that exact reason. So knowing that I agree with you, perhaps you (and any one else who might feel the same) can let me explain why I did end up making and posting these.
When I first started creating these, I knew that I did NOT want to use the words pills or medicine (for the exact reasons you mentioned). I sat down at my computer and pulled up the thesaurus to look for words that could describe little pieces of candy. (I also almost posted a disclaimer at the end, but didn’t want to put “ideas” into people’s minds just in case they didn’t think of this in the first place.)
I also believe that with everything, parents need to use judgement when it comes to their children. I knew that mine and a good many others would be able to grasp the concept of tic tacs and that they are a breath freshener/candy. I also only used these as a reward for good school behavior, so they didn’t think “these will make me awesome!” but rather, “if I do good and participate in PE, mom will give me a red tic tac with the dodge ball on it” or “if I do my best on this test, I’ll get a green tic tac”. They DO NOT take them to school. I don’t know that any parent would let their kids – there are so many rules in schools, these would get confiscated in a heartbeat, with or without my labels. These were created to be a fun thing in the home + a reward system. And I apologize if it didn’t come across like that in the post.
But like I mentioned, these might not be for everyone. And that’s what I love about this world- we’re all so different and have different likes and needs. So yes, parents use discretion. Or use it as a teaching moment + object lesson for your kids/teens. Talk to them about pills and drugs. Show and talk to them about the difference between candy and the real deal. These labels CAN be used for good and might be a lesson that will stick in their minds forever. And that’s why I finally decided to post these. (And yes- teachers have LOVED these!)
So I guess I did end up writing that disclaimer. 😉
I do appreciate and respect your comment and your desire to keep our kids drug and tobacco free! I wish more parents were like that – the world would be a much better place! So thank you!

These are great and I love them. I’d love to do them for teacher appreciation week. Do you have a word doc version?
Thanks

By the way lady, I sure do hope your kids never accidentally get into your bottle of xanax that you think you have in a secure place.

Believe it or not, back in the days of yore (when I was just a child), my mother and father would spend time with me, I didn’t need rewards for doing something to the best of my ability. I knew I just needed to. It seems that children today are praised entirely too much for mediocrity, ie: graduation from pre-school or kindergarten. Come on people! Give children something to strive for, that true quixotic achievement, to reach as far as the stars and to dream the impossible!
