Teacher Thank You
1. School Supply Cake for Teachers ~ Now that the kids are back in school, its time for teachers to start requesting those extra supplies they need for the classroom. Instead of sending them in a plastic bag, knock their socks off with this fabulous cake!
2. First Day Survival Kit ~ This Teacher Survival Kit is super cute and easy! They are mini floss organizers found at craft stores filled with Band-Aids, a hand-sanitizer, treats, and other small school stuff. How cool is that?! Anything can look cute when you divide it up into little compartments, right?
3. Calculator Teacher Gift Tag {printable} ~ Print out this gift tag that says According to my calculations, this is going to be a good year and attach to a jumbo (or regular) calculator for a cute little back to school gift.
4. Sunshine Pencil Wreath {Tutorial} ~ This sunburst pencil wreath would make an adorable Teacher Appreciation gift. And since the center is made of cork-board, it can double as a little memo board too. Dont forget to include some cute push pins.
Meet The Teacher
5. Back to School Teacher Treat Boxes {Cutters} ~ With you as my teacher I’ll be one smart cookie! This simple cutter project makes a sweet teacher gift for back to school. Simply print the tags and add freshly baked cookies to the treat boxes.
6. Printable Teacher Gift {pencils and holder} ~ These free printable labels are perfect for a pencil holder. Simply print the free label, attach it to a recycled can and fill it with pencils. Your kiddos new teacher is sure to love it!
7. Back to School Treat Sack ~ These treat sacks are the perfect gifts for tween and teenager kids to give to their new teachers. They have an office supply look, definitely not juvenile like a yellow bus. The brown sack is filled with treats or a candy bar, the card is attached with a clothespin (or you could use a paper clip) and are wrapped in red baker’s twine.
8. The Hi-Lite of My Day ~ This is a quick go-to gift for teachers. Download the free “Hi-Lite of My Day” gift tag and attach it to a bag of highlighters. It can’t get any easier than that!
Cool Teacher Stuff
9. Simple Back to School Gift ~ A fun and inexpensive gift for the new teacher. All you have to do is print the free “School Days” tag on card stock, fold in half, include a note to the new teacher and add it to a “bouquet” of pencils. If you decide not to use the free tag you could easily make an apple from card stock to add to the pencil bouquet.
10. Back-to-School Teacher Appreciation Gift ~ An adorable sweet treat jar for teachers! Simply print out the lid labels that say, Teacher Treats-To Share, or Not to Share and attach it to a jar. Fill the jar with sweet treats such as skittles or m&m’s and embellish the jar with twine and ribbon scraps. Each jar only cost $5 which included the candy.
11. DIY Survival Kit ~ I adore this modern design survival kit! It includes a cute little notebook, Sharpie markers, packets of Via coffee (if they aren’t a coffee drinker you could use Crystal Light packets), and a bookmark that says, “It takes a big heart to shape little minds”. The bookmark is a free printable as well as the delivery label.
12. Treat Box & Candy Bar Cover ~ This french fry inspired treat box is super cute! The treat box template and candy bar wrapper that says “We’re looking forward to a “sweet” year with you!” are free downloads. Simply download, print, and insert candy into the treat box or wrap a hershey bar with the wrapper.
