AEDM 13 Day 23 Tammy Doiel presents a Thank You Gift for Teachers

The first Christmas crafty post of this season!
When I found Tammy Doiel´s Creative K Kids I knew I´d love to try some of her projects. Creative K Kids is a blog about her family that includes crafts and activities that they have done as well as many of their favorite recipes. 

 The one I chose first was the  "Thank You Gifts to Teachers", right on time for our end of classes here in Buenos Aires. She even gives you a list of gifts to keep in mind which pleased my List Maker self immensely. :)

For her family school presents mean:

• A gift for the children’s school teachers 
• A gift for their Sunday School teachers 
• A gift for their Wednesday night children’s program teachers 
• A gift for their music teachers , P. E. teacher ,  piano teacher 
• And the list could go on!

Now it is your turn to make your own school gifts list!

Are you looking for inexpensive, meaninful gifts that you can make for those important persons in your kids lives? Check this one out!

You can read the recipe for the yummy rolls here in this post.

Once you have it, you can follow her instructions. Do what she did after printing them :

• I had the kids decorate the outside of the printable – making sure they did not get glitter on the non-decorated space where I was going to stick the picture. Since I have developed a great friendship with tacky glue, and I wanted to make sure the decorations did not come off, tacky glue was used!  So we put some drops of glue where the confetti was and the kids used Q-tips to spread the glue out.  We then sprinkled glitter on those spots. They also put more glue on and put on pom poms or glass rhinestones or sequins. This decoration does not have to be done, but I wanted the kids to have a part in doing the ornaments for their teachers.

• You could cut out a rectangle and place the picture under the hole that you cut out so that it is a frame–but that was way too time consuming for me.  So I just used my scrapbooking stickers on the back of the photos and stuck it on top of the printable.  

• Lastly, I punched a hole in the top, put a paper hole reinforcement on the back of the ornament, and then put a ribbon through the hole to hang the ornament from.

Such a simple and fun project to do with the kids. You can use the same concept and make your own design for the decorative frame. The possibilities are endless!
