end of year teacher gifts

it's that time of year again to thank the wonderful teachers for a great school year.  last year a friend and i created these for our preschool teachers.  i wanted to use the same concept but change it up a bit these special ladies.  i asked the other parents to donate gift cards to the teachers along with having their child write his/her name on a circle. 

you'll need gift cards, notes, wooden dowels, glue gun and a bucket

i love the way preschool children write :)

i added little summer cut outs, you could also just use stickers if you'd like!

glue the gift card to the dowel.

each child has his/her own "stick"

you'll need something to hold your sticks into place.  sand would work perfectly......but i just had rice at my house.

arrange the gift cards as you'd like...

in order to get my ribbon to stick, i used a little hot glue on the back

i also used a dot of hot glue under the bow to hold the front in place

here they are all finished and ready for graduation! 



and there he is......all ready for kindergarten!
