Teacher Appreciation Gifts

Posted by admin


Hello Friends!
I'm working on Teacher Gifts.
I want to share a few more Teacher Gifts that can be used with the
My inspiration started with a simple cardboard cup holder from Jack In The Box.
(I've done similar projects for Christmas/Neighbor gifts).

Thank you to 2 silly monkeys for the new version of the M&M poem print out.
http://2sillymonkeys.blogspot.co.uk/

I simply added a few Teacher gifts that followed the theme of the poem,
 I made a bookmark from School Themed Fabric and added crayon buttons.
Teacher Bookmark is lined with interfacing stabilizer.
(Fabric was found at JoAnns Fabric Store)
I also covered clothes pins with ribbon to attach the poem to the box.

 The best part of the gift is a FULL  JAR of  M&M's!
Home made M&M cookies are also great!
I also made a half apron made from Teacher Themed fabric with pockets for art projects.
Other items to add:
hand written appreciation card

 Box of Crayons
Gift Cards/Gift Certificates
School Supplies

Simple to make!
Begin with a drink/cup holder
(This is how the box looks after I spray painted it with Chalkboard Spray Paint.)
I had my daughter write on the box with white chalk on the box.
It really works!
Let your imagination and creativity take over and have fun!

(The flat crayons and hand buttons by Favorite Findings can be found at JoAnns Fabric Store.)

Enjoy!
Thank you Teachers!
We appreciate you!

My Magnificent and Marvelous Teacher

Posted by admin

Teacher Appreciation Gifts!                       
You may remember the M&M Poem from last year.

I found the small clear paint cans from Michael's Craft Store.
We decorated our cans with Teacher Stickers from Stickopotamus Back To Class SPSN03.
(The stickers may no longer be available).
One large bag of M&M's 42 Ounce size (Walmart) will fill two cans.

We attached My Magnificent and Marvelous Teacher poem to the cards along with a note.
Enjoy!

Green is for the inspiration you give me each day.
Blue is for your patience in showing me the way.
Orange is for your warmth and caring style.
Yellow is for the way you always make me smile.
Red is for my life that you have touched this year.

You place knowledge in my hands,
that melt into my heart and live forever!
You're a "Magnificent" & "Marvelous" Teacher!
Thank you for being my M&M!

A Little Apple Inspiration

Posted by admin

Welcome Friends!
A little Apple Inspiration for you!
You're the APPLE of my eye!
(Carmel Apples are from Country Living)

There is something wonderful about apples!
I'm inspired by the color, shape and beauty!
Apples go with everything!
Apples reminde me of Fall. 
 I miss seeing Johnny Appleseed coming home in my
kids backpacks!

Do you decorate with Green Apples?

I love green Apples with Pumpkins!
It seems, I can't display a pumpkin without a green apple.

Green apples are a easy accessory to decorate with.
The color makes them WONDERFUL!

Yellow Lemmon are great too!
Fall is so exciting!

Do you love Green Apples?
Do  you love the smell of Apple Pie Candles?
I feel new energy!

I have something to share with you next week!

PS.  The Back to School Fairy did arrive, it was GREAT!

Hello Friends!
More Back To School fun stuff to share!

(I Found the idea Here:  Pinterest-I added a few more ideas to it)
http://lisasworkshop.blogspot.com/2011/06/oh-places-youll-go-end-of-school-year.html
Throughout the years of your childs education,
 secretly give your child's teacher this book to sign
at the end of each school year. 
Present this gift/book to your son/daughter on
Graduation Day(Senior Year) from High School!

I'm going to include
 a picture of my child's first day of Kindergarten, along with  pictures of their teachers throughout the years. 
If you have missed a few years, it's never to late! 
I'm back tracking a few years for my youngest one!

I love this gift idea for the TEACHER on The First Day Of School!
