Teacher Appreciation Week is May 6th – 10th and I had to rack my brain to decide what to give to one of Zachary’s teachers.  However, I know she has a cereal dispenser on her desk to reward the kids when they are caught being good (Thanks Mrs. Baria – that is SO much better than chocolate!) so I thought she would really appreciate this gift!  It says, “Thanks” and gives her something useable for her classroom!

Though I only made one box of cereal, you could fill little baggies and tie them up with string to save money and allow you to make tons more gifts.

Materials Used:

• Free “We Are Lucky to Have You” printable
• Curling ribbon (pack of 4 colors from the dollar tree)
• 4 x 3 inch piece of bright patterned paper (from Target)
• 3 – 9 x 1/2 inch strips of coordinating paper
• Box of Lucky Charms from Target $2.99

—The only thing I bought was the box of cereal, everything else I already had! So…

Total Cost of Teacher Appreciation gift = $2.99!

Printing Tip - Print on regular printer paper or photo paper. I printed my first one on cardstock and the color bled. To keep it crisp it is best to do it on photo paper, but regular printer paper will have less color bleeding than cardstock.

Directions:

Step One:  Print out the free “We are lucky to have you” printable and cut apart each label.

Step Two: Cut a 4 x 3 inch piece of bright patterned paper and affix the tag to the paper square.

Step Three:  Cut three 9 x 1/2 inc strips of coordinating paper and affix in 3 lines across the top 3rd of the cereal box to add a bit of decoration.

Step Four: Decorate with cute ribbons and attach the label.

Ta-da! Easy-peasy (and cheap) Teacher Appreciation Week gift!

Teacher Appreciation Week is May 6th – 10th… are you ready? I am getting there. I am trying to do teacher appreciation gifts that the boys’ teachers can actually use this year. Plus, I need to keep them pretty inexpensive!  With all three of my kids in school now and two of them with multiple teachers – plus two in dance – I have a TON of gifts to make! (BTW, *SIGH* I miss homeschooling)  Seriously, I have for Thomas 3, Zack 6, and Tripp 7 = 16 teachers and 5 days in the week is 80 gifts!  Crazy, right?

I actually made 2 different pages within this free teacher appreciation gift printable. So, only print the page that you need! Page 1 says “thanks for helping us stick…” for you parents out there that are PTA members. This page has 12 2-inch square printable labels on it.

For the parents that want just a couple for their own kids’ teacher(s), print page 2! It has 4 printables that say “me” instead of “us”! So, it will save you ink! You won’t have to print 12 of them if you don’t need to. You’re welcome! LOL!

Materials Used:

• Free “Thanks for helping me stick to my goals” printable
• Curling ribbon (pack of 4 colors from the dollar tree)
• 2.5 inch square of bright patterned paper (from Target)
• Plastic packet of push pins with label removed (from Dollar Tree)

—The only thing I bought was the push pins, everything else I already had! So…

Total Cost of Teacher Appreciation gift = $1.00!

Printing Tip - Print on regular printer paper or photo paper. I printed my first one on cardstock and the color bled. To keep it crisp it is best to do it on photo paper, but regular printer paper will have less color bleeding than cardstock.

Directions:

Step One: Remove the unsightly label from the push pin package. The label will leave a small amount of glue as shown in the image above. No worries! We will be covering that part up with our cute gift tag!

Step Two: Print out the free “Thanks for helping me stick to my goals” printable and cut apart each square. The squares are 2 x 2 inches in size.

Step Three: Cut 2.5 x 2.5 squares in coordinating patterned paper and affix the tag to the paper square.

Step Four: Decorate with cute ribbons and attach the label to cover the glue spot.

Ta-da! Easy-peasy (and cheap) Teacher Appreciation Week gift!
