Teacher Appreciation Week

I LOVE the fact that Noby’s in preschool.  I love how much he’s grown verbally.  I love how many new friends he’s made.  I love the two hour break I get 3 days a week!  And I LOVE that I get to make cute, fun, crafts for the teachers!!!!  I finally have an excuse to make things I find on the internet!!  I’m having so much fun!!  This week was Teacher Appreciation Week so of course I knew I was going to make something.  I started to search Pinterest (AGAIN, If you are NOT part of Pinterest… GET ON IT!!) for something fun to make them.  I found several ideas that were similar, they all involved a water bottle of sorts.  Here they are…

Domesticatedlady.com posted these about TEA-riffic Teachers…

frillsfluffandtrucks.blogspot.com made a pocket tag with a cute saying about quenching the child’s thirst for knowledge….

And my favorite was from lisastorms.typepad.com.  She gave some great insulated cups with lemonade and ice tea inside.

So I decided to combine all the ideas and this is what I came up with…

The gift bags with a “Happy Teacher Appreciation Week” tag…

I went with these sport water bottle filled with both lemonade and iced tea mixes.  Noby has 4 different teachers and I was able to find these bottles in 4 different colors.  Each bottle has a removable ice pack that they can freeze to keep their drinks cold.   It’s hard to tell but the tags I made say, “Thank you for helping quench Noby’s thirst for knowledge!  You are a wonderful “ade” in all the children’s learning!  Thanks for being such a TEA-riffic teacher!”

I’m very happy with how they came out and the teachers loved them!
