Teacher Appreciation Manicure Gift Envelope

April 20, 2018 By McKenzie 1 Comment

It is hard to believe that the end of the school year is near! It is teacher appreciation and end of year teacher gift season! As a wife of a former teacher, I know that teachers don’t need anymore mugs or even chocolate. Give gifts that you would want to give to your friends! They don’t need to be expensive, just thoughtful. I absolutely love Color Street nails for that exact reason. They are 100% nail polish strips that last longer than traditional nail polish, are super affordable, and they make perfect gifts!

These gift envelopes are the perfect way to “wrap” Color Street nails. You just print them out on cardstock paper, cut them out, and tape or glue them together. On one example, I used double sided tape to tape them together and on the other one I used washi tape. You can do it however you want! [Read more…]

Handwritten Water Bottle Teacher Gift Idea

May 10, 2017 By McKenzie 1 Comment

My husband used to be an elementary school teacher. It was always interesting to see what kinds of gifts his students would bring him. A lot of times, he would end up with loads of candy. Candy is nice, but there is only so much candy one person can take before it gets a little old! When it was time to come up with a gift to give my daughter’s preschool and dance teachers, I knew I wanted to give them something practical and personal. That’s when we came up with this darling handwritten water bottle teacher gift idea!

These water bottles turned out just so sweet with this little 5 year old handwriting and artwork. I know that they will be treasures for her teachers and will be sweet reminders of my daughter each time they use them. I think the best part was just how simple they were to make! Here is what you need to make your own… [Read more…]

Recess Revival Kit Free Printable Teacher Gift Idea

I felt the magic of swiss herbs in Ricola® Herb & Throat drops as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars. #swissherbs

Back to school! Can you even believe that it is time to think about school again? My husband used to be a classroom teacher and I always loved seeing the different teacher gift ideas that people had and that he would receive. They were all so sweet, but you could definitely tell who put thought into what he would really want. I love the idea of giving a teacher something that they could actually use, like this awesome Recess Revival Kit! For elementary school teachers, recess is the only time most of them get to relax a little and prepare for the kids to come back again. Most elementary school teachers don’t get a prep hour, so a gift to let them restore energy and get a little rest and relaxation during recess is perfect! [Read more…]

Magnetic Chalkboard & Dry Erase Learning Board and GIVEAWAY

July 15, 2014 By McKenzie 9 Comments

Can you even believe that it is almost time to send the kiddos back to school again? I am teaming up with a few other fabulous bloggers to show you our ideas to survive back to school season and be able to celebrate it in all of the awesomeness that it truly is!

Menu Board | Personalized Teacher Gift | Teacher Survival Kit | Memo Boards | Magnetic Learning Board

Back to school means something totally different when you have a child who isn’t in school yet. Just because my daughter doesn’t go to school yet, doesn’t mean I don’t want to spend the time teaching her and let her make her own discoveries. That is why I chose to make a magnetic chalkboard and dry erase board that can be used as a learning center for all kinds of learning activities.

To make your very own learning board, you need…

*Cookie sheet

*Chalkboard vinyl, dry erase vinyl, blue outdoor vinyl, and red outdoor vinyl from Expressions Vinyl

*Paper cutter

Cut a piece of the chalkboard vinyl to the size of the cookie sheet. Stick the vinyl to the cookie sheet.

Cut the dry erase vinyl as the same size as the other side of the cookie sheet and stick the vinyl to it.

Cut the blue vinyl into little strips and stick them onto the white board.

These are the lines to write on so they need to be spaced apart enough to write on.

Cut the red vinyl into little strips and cut those strips into smaller sections. Put those red pieces in a line in the center of each of the sections. Now my daughter can practice writing on this dry erase board that can easily sit on her lap.

She can also draw on the chalkboard and play with all of her Pre K learning packs that she has. They can easily stick on the cookie sheet because it is magnetic. You can find tons of these Pre K packs on my friends blog, Over the Big Moon.

Now for an extra special part, a giveaway! Expressions Vinyl is giving away one lucky reader a $100 gift card. To enter, use the widget below…
