Schools Out, Teacher Gifts

End of Year, Teacher Gift Tag

My son attends an infant/toddler preschool class. The preschool follows the public school system schedule, so summer has arrived for him as well. He has two of the best teachers and I thought they should have a little gift showing how much we appreciate them, so I got them a gift card to Dairy Queen and attached the printable I made below. Thankfully, my son will have them as teachers again next year!

Painted Flower Pot for Mother's Day

Materials: Acrylic Paint

Clay Pot (any size)

Ribbon

Flower or seeds

These make cute and simple Mother's Day gifts for any mom. We made two, one for each grandma and my son isn't quite old enough to help, but its the thought that counts.

I already had some ribbon on hand, so I used paint that would coordinate with the ribbon.

Paint the pot the color of your choice

Turn the pot upside down and wrap the ribbon around the measure the length you need

Hot glue the end of the ribbon to hold it on to the pot. Then, glue a line down the middle of the ribbon a little at a time or it will dry fast and wont stick to the pot.
