Teacher Appreciation: You Blow Us Away!

As I've mentioned before I am the "Teacher Appreciation Person" (not the official name, I'm guessing) for the PTO at my kids' school.  This means that several times throughout the year I make a little something for each of the 96 teachers and staff members there.  This usually coincides with a holiday (see my Fall one here).    It also means that I need to so a little something for EACH DAY of Teacher Appreciation Week which, at our school, starts today.

The next few posts will be me sharing what I did.  I realize most of you won't be needing to make 96 things but perhaps it will inspire you to think of something for your child's teacher.  You can also use these ideas as "thank yous" for anyone!

Now, without further ado, my first contribution this week:

It's fun.  It's cheerful.  It expresses appreciation.  It can be put together on an assembly line.  Check, check, check and check!

I'm thinking you can probably break it down and figure out what I used but just in case here are the supplies:

• clear party favor bags
• variety of bubble gum (got this all in the candy aisle of WalCrap)
• twine or ribbon to tie the bag closed
• tag punch (or just cut the tags into rectangles)
• printed tags which I've supplied below

Right click, save and print these tags onto an 8.5x11 piece of cardstock.
