Last day of school Teacher Gift 2016

My kids helped me paint canvases for a final thank you their teachers.

Teacher Valentine

My kids thought popcorn would be a fun teacher treat this Vslentines, and since we had 8 to make and was short on time, this was what we came up with. 

Teacher ornament gifts.

I had my kids help make the teachers personalized ornaments this year.

End of the year teacher "Thank You"s

I gave each of the teachers and the school secretary a jar personalized with their name.  I let my kids pick what to put in them. I also had each of my kids write a final thank you to their teachers. 

Etched Mug

I made this for our principal for a going away gift.  I used a black mug and used vinyl for a stencil.  I then used glass etching.  It was hard to get a good picture of it, but I like how it turned out.  I etched his name on the other side.

And I did a matching card:

Valentine Teacher Gift Boxes

So I was curious if I could make clear boxes from transparency sheets...so I gave it a try.  It worked!  I used brads and vinyl hearts to hold it together.  I thought they'd be great for my kids to use for Teacher Valentines, so I let them decorate the boxes with more vinyl hearts and then cut them each a paper heart tag to address to their teachers.  They had fun and it was fun for me to learn something new.

Christmas Teacher Gifts

Christmas gifts for teachers this year.  I personalized a small cutting board and let the kids pick an apple from the Chocolate Factory.  I bagged the apples in a colored red and green bags then placed it on the cutting board and cellophaned it together.  I let the kids decorate their own tag and address it to their teachers. 

Thankful for our Teachers

There's been lots of talk about things we are grateful for at our house this month.  One of the things we are grateful for are the teachers at school.  We have had a pretty good year, so I let my kids fill out the acorn card telling their teachers something about their teachers they are grateful for, then attached  some fun leaves with the card to some sparkling cider.

Teacher Appreciation Gifts

 This is what I came up with for teacher gifts:

Teacher Gifts

This year for the teacher gifts, we gave these tins labeled "For Your Mistle'toes'" 

Inside the kids put some Christmas socks, lotion and nail polish.  I let the kids pick out the paper and help decorate the cans. Nathan chose to color his own paper, which was super cute. 

Teacher Gifts

The school year is at an end this week, so I made a little something to go along with a card to tell Kyla's teacher how much I appreciated all of her hard work. She really is a great teacher. Kyla has also had a classroom "Grandma" helping all year, so we made one for her, too. I also had Kyla make each of them a card to tell them Thank You as well. (She was thrilled to do so)

I had fun making these fun little pin wheels: (I've made some hairbows with them, so more to come on that soon)
I got the printable for the pot at Skip to My Lou.

Teacher Gift

I debated what to do for Kyla's teacher, but finally decided on this apron. This is the first time I've added a pocket on the front.And since it's kindergarten and they are learning their letters, I chose the letter trim.
