This week is Teacher Appreciation Week. Both the kids and I are so excited to share the fun gifts we’ve been creating the last few weeks for our Preschool Teacher.
Today we will be giving her a Pencil Vase with fresh flowers (not the egg carton tulips that I just placed in there for the picture!) from the children as well as a potted plant with a little stake in it that reads “Thanks for helping our children grow.”
These Teacher Pencil Vases are super easy to create. A few simple supplies…
- flat straight-edge glass vase (not curved; Dollar Stores carry nice generic ones)
- hot glue gun
- decorative ribbon
- pencils
Then all you do is hot glue your pencils around your vase until it is entirely covered. Finish it off with decorative ribbon. If you want it to be a bit more colorful you could also do colored pencils instead of the standard #2 pencils. Voila…a quick and easy (and thoughtful) Teacher Appreciation Gift!
cute and easy…a winning combination!
super cute idea!
