Infant Gift Guide 2017
It’s my favorite week of the year – the week that I get to share my annual gift guides with all of you! I love putting these together because I am always being asked what makes a great gift for a little one, being a teacher brings a unique perspective. I love to share my favorite items, and the ones that I’ve seen young children love – and use – over and over again. Here’s what I recommend for infants, in fact, my daughter is getting a lot of these items this year! **All links are affiliates** Sassy Look Photo Book – This photo album was specifically designed for little…

Quick, Easy Teacher Gift
Do you still need a quick gift for a teacher in your life? Whether you’re looking for a great idea for a co-worker, or your own child’s teacher, I’ve got you covered. I just made these brand new watercolor note cards, and they’re editable so you can add your favorite teacher’s name in a fun font for an easy personalized gift. If you want to add a little more, tie the note cards in a ribbon and slip in a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card for a treat that any teacher is sure to appreciate (and actually use!).

Gift ideas for your students
I love to give my students something for the holidays, but when you’re buying the same thing for 20+ children it can get a little pricey. I’ve rounded up a few ideas for you, I haven’t decided which one I’m going to use yet! Personality trait name plates inside of ornament framesThis idea is a fun adaptation of a gift that Laura Schroyer made for her students. Laura used Wordle, I also like Tagxedo, both sites let you input the words that you want to use and create shapes out of the included words. This is a great way to recognize what is special about each student in your class, and…

Favorite Things – Preschool Teacher Edition
It’s almost Thanksgiving, which of course means that it’s time to start thinking about Christmas (didn’t you know that?!). I love gift guides, I use them all of the time to find the perfect gifts for my friends and family members, but my favorite lists are the “Favorite Things” lists (thank you Oprah), because they help inspire my own Christmas list. This year I put together a list of my favorite things for school – these aren’t necessarily the best supplies for the classroom (but I do have a great Preschool Classroom Supply list), but rather, products that make things a little bit easier for me throughout the day. These…

Typically we go all out on our parents gifts – handmade gift, handmade wrapping paper, and a card to go with it all. I’m always looking for new card ideas, because I have a tendency to make things more difficult than they need to be. This year I found a super easy idea that the children love: Thumbprint reindeer Here is a picture of the ornament that I was inspired by: And here is one of…
