It’s the end of the school year which means one thing, your teachers are tired! I’m joking…kind of. Teachers have a pretty heavy responsibility, teaching all of our children is not for the faint of heart. So when teacher appreciation comes around it’s hard to find the perfect gift to say thank you. But I think this easy teacher gift is a top contender. It’s simple, perfect for all types of teachers, and is something they will love.

Easy Teacher Gift

Did you know that teachers get lots and lots of lotions and treats as gifts? So, when thinking of a perfect teacher appreciation gift it is good to look beyond those things. That’s what I love about this teacher gift, it’s a bit different.

I also love how simple it is to add gift cards to, which is really what teachers love. I usually like to find a simple gift to give like this plant with cute tag and then, if it’s a class gift, I collect gift cards to add to it. That way, it looks amazing when you present the gift and they get some fun gift cards too. Win/win.

So let’s talk about all the things you can do with this tag. I did an artificial plant so the teacher can use it in the classroom or take it home. But you can do a real plant or flowers. You can even do a basket of school supplies if your teacher is in need of some supplies. The trick is to add the tag to a ruler and you are set to go.

I’ve got the tags ready for you to use! Just right click and save to your computer, then open in a program like Word or Pages and size how you want.

Or, I have a PDF with several of them ready for you to print.

It’s back to school time, and whether you love it or hate it, the school year always come back around. I tend to be in the summer lovin’ camp and never want back to school to come. But I have to admit, when I meet with my kiddos’ teachers I get a little excited for the year to start because I love our teachers.

So, why not spoil your teacher a little the first day and welcome her to class with a fun first day of school teacher gift?! This apple themed nail polish is seriously so simple but will let your teacher know how much she is already appreciated.

Plus, I have everything you need for this gift so it’s even simpler.

Am I the only one obsessed with school supplies? I hope not! Seriously, I’m like a kid in a candy store when I pass the school supply section…so many supplies I can’t choose just one. This year I’ve taken my obsession to a new level by volunteering to head up a school supply collection for my local elementary school. And if I’m in charge of something like that, shouldn’t I have a fun decoration on my table? This school supply cake will make the perfect addition to our supply drive and is a fun idea for back to school.

School Supply Cake:

Isn’t this so fun and colorful? It’s perfect for your kiddos to get them excited about heading back to school, or would be a great gift for your teachers to help get their room stocked.

And have we started to chat about how simple this is to put together?

Supplies:

• Two round hat boxes-7 & 9 inch diameter
• Colored Pencils (90)
• 2 Scissors
• Glue Sticks (29)
• Crayons (55)
• 3 Bottles of Glue
• Pencils (3)
• Glue Dots
• Rubber Bands (2 large)
• Paperclips
• Ribbon
• 2 Round Foam (sized to fit in the top hat box)

Instructions:

• Using the glue dots, glue the colored pencils around the outside of the larger hatbox. The open end of the hat box is actually the bottom of this cake, leaving the solid side on top so the next layer can stack on top.
• To secure the pencils, add a rubber band around them.

• For the next layer, glue the crayons on the inside edge of the 7 inch hat box. If the glue dots don’t hold you can use tape on along the bottom of the crayons.

• Next, put a rubber band around the outside of the 7 inch hat box and start to tuck the glue sticks in creating a line of glue sticks on the outside edge of the box.
• Place your foam pieces in the box hat so you can place your glue bottles and pencils on top creating the top layer to your cake.
• Spread paper clips around to cover any exposed foam.

• Add a ribbon around both layers hiding the rubber band and further securing the supplies on the cake.
• Tuck two sets of scissors in the ribbon for a cute finish to the cake.
• (If the second layer of your cake needs to be higher you can place a foam piece under it for lift)

I promised it would be simple! Now, it’s time to head to the school supply isle…best isle ever!!

Have FUN making a school supply cake!

I’m about 3 weeks out from school starting around here and to be honest, I’m dreading it!

I love the summer days-whether they are packed with family adventures like camping or hiking or vacations or they are the lazy days at the pool and sleeping in and summer nights in the backyard.

But unfortunately, I can’t seem to make summer slow down.

So since the start of school is coming whether I like it or not, I thought I’d at least add a layer of fun with some fun and simple back to school teacher gifts that you can surprise the kiddos’ teachers with when school starts for you this year!

The idea here is that these are easy back to school teacher gifts that you can throw together pretty quick and easy. Just something simple to make your teacher smile.
