last day of Preschool & teacher appreciation

Today was Evie’s last day of pre-preschool. What a difference a year makes! I am so proud of her. She is so sweet.

Here are a few teacher appreciation gifts I put together this year. Hope they help as you thank your teacher for a great year!

First of all, mothers. I’m a little behind in posting this picture. These were the blocks I did this year for my mother’s day boutique. I think they are so adorable! It’s even a photo holder!

These 10 blocks spell about 15 different words about teaching. I found them from here. We gave these to her preschool teacher.

This is a fun one that is a roll of paper towels, and to-go clorex wipes. What teachers doesn’t need cleaning supplies!!?

Make-your-own-monster

Evie’s cousin Jackie spent the night. We went swimming and watched a movie and they made their own paper plate monster. They really had a lot of fun with this and lasted longer then I thought a 3 & 4 year old would doing this project.

I placed bowls of items from my pantry and craft cupboard on the table, gave each girl a paint brush and a small bowl of mod podge and off they went! Some plates turned out to be more monster-like than another, but overall, they loved creating their own art!

We had dry noodles, chow mein noodles, nibs, nilla wafers, m&M’s, chipboard pieces, marshmallows. I just pulled from what I had on hand.

Evie had so much fun creating her pictures, that when she ran out of paper plates, she picked up one of our dinner/salad plates (stoneware!) and started creating on that. She had no idea that you don’t do that. (hilarious) & I didn’t realize what she had done until she was this far along: (I did find her more paper plates after that!)
