President’s Day for Preschoolers
The best thing about February being such a short month is just how fast it flies by – we’re already well into it and President’s day is next week!

Here are all of the resources that I have available to help you explore what this day means with your preschoolers. These can all be found in my TPT store. Click the images below to…

Teacher Valentine Gifts
Last week I rounded up all of the teacher Valentine’s Day gifts I’ve shared in the past and I promised that I would also feature what I’m doing this year. Here it is! This year my daughter has multiple teachers, which has made the entire teacher-gifting experience a bit more of a challenge. For Valentine’s day I decided to keep it small. I made each teacher a quilted bookmark and I’m going to pair these with some cookies. I’m really trying to create handmade gifts that will actually be used and appreciated!
