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 CRAFT MATERIALS: | |
 |
Poster board |
|
Scissors |
|
Hole punch |
|
Photos, artwork, and/or colored markers |
|
Glue stick |
|
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....
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!
Over at Creature Comforts, there is not only tons of great ideas and inspiration, but this cute little candybar wrapper tutorial. Valentine's Day is the obvious use, but how cute would these be for party favors, wedding favors, or even just wrapped with a ribbon and given as a treat?
Share your favorite party favors, and crafty tutorials in the Blissfully Domestic Forums! We would love to hear from you!!
There are many ways to express creativity and preserve your baby's memories at the same time.
Of course, nothing beats a hand-written journal of your baby's first days...you alwyas think you'll remember every sweet sound and movement, but it goes so very quickly, despite how long the hours seem at first. Even a couple of quick notes in a composition book that you can embellish later will be very precious to you in the days and years to come...
How do you preserve your childrens' memories? Share it with us in the Blissfully Domestic Forum!
