6 Super Crafty Gift Ideas for Teacher Appreciation Day

In Living by Christina Montoya Fiedler2 Comments

Everyone has a favorite teacher. Mine was Mrs. Tate. I can still remember the way she broke into a rap to show us what rhyming was or how she diligently diagrammed sentences with colorful chalk like they were masterful pieces of art. No doubt your child is in awe of a teacher who is similarly as cool. And this month it’s our job to thank these unsung heroes.

With Teacher Appreciation Week right around the corner, May 7-11th  we’re helping you gather some amazing ideas for homemade goodies and treats from where else but Pinterest.

Take a look.

  1. Great ideas especially for the crafty types! Me, I’m about as crafty as an elephant so I stick with gift cards and personal thank you cards.
