It is Teacher Appreciation Week so Heather and I thought a fun handmade gift would be fun to give to our kids teachers, here are a few ideas that you can use to thank your teachers for all they do. For the first idea we just went to the store and picked up some cheep clip boards and decorated them. For the paper we used DCWV, the background was from the Kidlet Stack and everything else was from A Type of Art because it really related to teaching with all the numbers and letters. We also found two Cricut cartridges that had some fun school related cutouts that was a nice finishing touch.

As for the paper clips they are so simple, we just used Hero Arts Remember Your kindness stamp set because it had a stamp that was a circle and cut out an extra circle and basically glued the two circles together sandwiching the paperclip.

Our kids are really excited to give these to their teachers, they wrote a nice little thank you on the back of them with a marker. Coming from a teacher please take a few minutes to make a nice little gift for your students teachers, it really helps to know that they are appreciated for what they do. We did 2 different ideas for you to hopefully take and go with, click here to view the other post.
