Teacher Appreciation week is coming up soon (unless it has already passed)!! I know when I was teaching, Teacher Appreciation week was always fun. It was so sweet to see the kids come in with special presents for us teachers - not only were we excited to get a small token of appreciation, but the kids loved it just as much. They loved to see what we were getting - and loved the feeling of handing us some sort of little gift.
Typically, the things I got as a teacher were stuffed animals, fresh fruit (aka a banana that had been sitting at the bottom of the bookbag all morning), coffee mugs, and here and there, a gift card to Starbucks or a favorite store.
Here are a few "sweet" things that I have done recently for teacher appreciation gifts-
A flower pot filled with flower shaped cookie pops - These pots were painted by the children. They each put their handprints around the sides and wrote their names on top of their prints. So cute! Another option for this is that I can paint these as well and personalize them with the teacher's name, etc.
Another item that I did this week was for a preschool director - just another option of something to give to a teacher. And what you may not realize from the picture, is that this is a JUMBO cookie. This cookie is 6 inches around (double what they usually are).
And last, this was a cookie platter (created for a teacher appreciation breakfast). These are MINI cookies - these are about 1/2 the size of my normal cookies.
And to see some that I did last year, take a look here - http://creativecookies.blogspot.com/search/label/Teachers
LOTS and LOTS of options! And as always, if you have an idea for something unique that I don't have pictured, please let me know and I will see what I can do.
If you want to order a teacher gift, get your orders in soon! I am filling up for the next couple of weeks - and I will not be taking anymore orders for the weekend of May 18-20th.
