Book for Teacher

Give your child's teacher a book about them from their child's point of view for Teacher Appreciation Day.

Supplies:

Take about 4 pieces of computer paper or construction paper and fold them in half, then hole punch.

Draw an apple and thick, block-like letters for your child to color in.

 Think up some questions to ask your child about your teacher. Write the questions with a black marker for them and then have them write the answer and draw a picture to go with their answer in crayon under the question.

Popsicle Stick Jewelry Box

Mother's Day is right around the corner and now is a great time to get started making gifts. 

Mother's Day Jewelry Box

Supplies:

Popsicle Sticks

Scissors

Hot glue gun

Crayons

Stickers

String/Ribbon

 

Cut four popsicle sticks in half to create the corners of the box. 

Put in a strip of hot glue down one of the cut in half pieces of popsicle stick and then lay four whole popsicle sticks on top of the glue. Do this four times.

 

Put hot glue down each end of the popsicle sticks at the corners and then attach the corners to each other.

 
Make a cover for your treasure box by laying down two popsicle sticks and lining them with hot glue and then placing popsicle sticks long ways on top of the two popsicle sticks with hot glue on them. Leave a little gap between the last popsicle stick and the one before it so that you can use ribbon or string to tie the top on.

 

Place the lid on top of the box and tie it to the walls of the box with string or ribbon. Insert the string where the slight gap was on the top and then tie it in between the popsicle sticks on one of the side walls. You might need to push the popsicle sticks on the walls back a little to get the string/ribbon in between them.

Then let your child color the popsicle sticks and decorate the box with stickers.

Now to make a Macaroni necklace to put into our jewelry box for Grandma. 

Make your own Wrapping Paper

Wrapping Paper

Great for wrapping family gifts. Especially on Mother's Day!

If you shop online you are used to getting these in a majority of the boxes that ship to your house. Instead of throwing them away use them as customizable wrapping paper.

You don't have to wait to get a shipment to get this brown paper though, they also sell this stuff at the dollar stores.

Simply lay out the brown paper, give your child markers, crayons and or stamps and let them freely decorate.

When finished use the decorated brown paper as wrapping paper for a personalized touch on a gift.
