Teacher gift ideas!

This was Blaines last year at preschool. We had the most loving and amazing experience with Kiddie Korners Preschool in Petrolia. The teachers and staff are caring wonderful! I did a short stint as VP of the bored of directors and then left the bored as of June for personal reasons. Its a co-op style preschool and a true preschool as in no naps, a learning setting and small class size. There are 2 teachers, the director and the cook. All meals are homemade and made right in the school kitchen. Once a month each parent has to come in and clean for an hour as well as bring a snack on their snack day.

Blaine loved it and still talks about his teachers and preschool friends. As Blaine is home schooled this will be his final year with “Teachers” so I wanted to make something special. We always do gifts for the teachers at Christmas and end of school.

This end of the year I did watering can flower pots with flowers on them for each of the teachers. I did a mug for the OT and I did spices for the cook.

What you will need:
Mini metal watering cans (I got mine at Dollarama)
Either stickers or cut vinyl (I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut and design)

Dirt

Lighter
Flowers

Empty green pots that fit in your water cans

Mug
Spice set from Epicure

modgepodge (if using stickers)

Either cut my hand from vinyl or use scrap booking stickers to create your desgin on the side of each flower pot, the side of the mug and of course on the blank spot on the spices box

 Once you put your vinyl on your spice box that one is all finished!

Decide what saying you want on your mug I went with “Without SPL this would be booger” and it has a photo of a burger on it.

If you are using stickers put a thin coat of modgepodge over the stickers. Hand wash only the mug.
If you are using vinyl take the side of the lighter and run it over each letter with light pressure.

On the mini water cans. Do the same as you did with the mug but on the water can.

Take some of the dirt and fill the little green pot(s) you got, add your flower, add more dirt.

Put your mini plastic pot inside your mini watering can.

There you go three simple great teacher gifts that they will love, I know because the teachers at Blaines school loved them!!!
