    With the end of the school year fast approaching, I thought that I’d share some ideas for ‘Teacher Gifts’ as a way of showing our appreciation for all that they do! This here is one of my favorite ideas & is along the idea of what I am doing….a scrapbook.

    Feel-Good Flip-Book

    Feel-Good Flip Book

    CRAFT MATERIALS:

    creative-bliss Teacher Gifts Poster board
    creative-bliss Teacher Gifts Scissors
    creative-bliss Teacher Gifts Hole punch
    creative-bliss Teacher Gifts Photos, artwork, and/or colored markers
    creative-bliss Teacher Gifts Glue stick
    creative-bliss Teacher Gifts 1-inch bookrings (available at office supply stores)
    Time needed: Weekend Project

    1. Cut the poster board into cards measuring 7 by 5-1/2 inches: you’ll need 1 card for each class member, plus 5 extras for the stand.

    2. Use a hole punch to make 2 holes at the top of each card as shown.

    3. Send a card home with each child, to be decorated with photos, artwork, or colored markers and a positive message to the teacher.

    4. To create the stand, make 2 double-thick pages using extra cards affixed together with a glue stick.

    5. Fold the remaining extra into thirds and glue its flaps to the double-thick pages as shown. Attach the students’ pages to the stand with 1-inch book rings (available at office supply stores).

    Here are a few more GREAT ideas that I think a teacher would just LOVE to get….

    Forget-me-not-pot

    Heartfelt Tote      

    Handprint Aprons 

    Pencil Cup

    These are just a few of the ideas that I came across & wanted to share. Teachers do so much for our children & I just thought it might be nice to show them that we CARE! If you have any ideas that you’d like to share, head on over to Blissfully Domestic Forums!
