Police Officer Appreciation Bags with FREE Printable

| Filed Under: Gift Ideas, Kids Crafts, Printables, Random Acts of Kindness, Tutorials

Last week I helped Penelope’s Brownie Troop work on a service project that turned out so darn cute! The girls made Police Officer Appreciation Bags for all the police officers in their community and then dropped them off at our local police station after their Brownie meeting. Three officers even came out to thank the girls and took pictures with them…it was adorable! I created a simple free printable tag you can print off and use on any kind of bag and the best part is that I kept it fairly generic so that these could work for any first responders in your community…police, fire, EMTs, etc, you name it! Police Officer Appreciation Bags with FREE Printable // SmashedPeasandCarrots.com
Police Officer Appreciation Bags with FREE Printable // SmashedPeasandCarrots.com The bags were filled with a few pieces of each candy from the attached list…a fun treat for them to eat when they get a break or finish a shift!Police Officer Appreciation Bags with FREE Printable // SmashedPeasandCarrots.comAnd since we were gifting them to police officers we glued the tags onto blue and yellow card stock and tied the bags with blue and yellow ribbon. You could always do red and black for the fire department or whatever color you feel works for the first responders in your community that you want to thank!
Police Officer Appreciation Bags with FREE Printable // SmashedPeasandCarrots.comTo print the tags, you can click on the image above and size it to your liking or you can click the link below which I created to print off as four tags per page. Just use heavy white card stock when printing and cut each sheet apart into fours.

Police Officer Appreciation Printable Police Officer Appreciation Bags with FREE Printable // SmashedPeasandCarrots.com To make the tags, I use those crazy cutting scissors you find at craft stores and made a ripple look around the four edges. Then the girls glued them onto 4.25 x 5.5 inch pieces of blue or yellow card stock. Police Officer Appreciation Bags with FREE Printable // SmashedPeasandCarrots.com Police Officer Appreciation Bags with FREE Printable // SmashedPeasandCarrots.com Then they glued each tag down onto the front of a white paper lunch bag, filled each one with the candy listed, and then folded the top down (which I pre-cut with the crazy scissors). We helped the girls punch two holes at the top and then let them tie each one shut with bow made of either blue or yellow ribbon.Police Officer Appreciation Bags with FREE Printable // SmashedPeasandCarrots.com Police Officer Appreciation Bags with FREE Printable // SmashedPeasandCarrots.comThey turned out super cute and the girls did such a great job packing and creating each little bag with care! It really was such a fun service project!!! I hope the police officers enjoyed their sweets!

Thank you for stopping by today!
Love,

Maggie

    This page sends you to a image that is so big it wouldn’t fit on a regular brown paper sack!

      If you click on the link provided you will find 4 images that are sized for an 8.5 x 11 inch paper. You must click the link for that though, not the actual image!

    Were they well received? Such a very clever idea! I want to do something but I’m worried about giving something to eat, I don’t want them worried that it might be poisoned and toss all of it! But, coming from a bunch of little girls I bet they loved it!

    Thanks for the printable, I’m gonna download it then pray about it.

      Hi Nancy! Yes, they were very well received! I think as long as it was store bought candy and not homemade…then it’s kinda like getting kinda on halloween! 🙂

    These are great. Could you fix the 100 Grand to say “for the money”. We’re going to take these to the fire station when we visit as part of our First Aid badge to talk to first responders. Bless you.

    After printing these out we noticed a typo in the 100 grand part. We still used them, just crossed out the extra letter.
