End of Year Gifts for Class ... Silly Summer & Bubble Summer

Sadly we come to an end of this school year. My oldest is going on to Middle school and we say goodbye to the best teacher we have ever had. He was lucky enough to do 4th and 5th with the same teacher. The classmates were the same so I wanted to give them something a little special also.

For Cole's class I did Silly string gift, which I didn't really think much about until I came to pick the kids up to find the kids silly stringed their teacher and got in trouble with the principal .. lol ugh so wasn't on my thought process. I found this idea on Room Mom Extraordinaire (she put her's in plastic bags to hope the kids didn't spray on the bus ... I may have should have done that!).

What you Need:

Silly String (Dollar Tree $1)

Curling Ribbon (Dollar Tree $1)

Card Stock

I went on google search found a rainbow boarder (png so I could easily copy) put into a word doc and then put typed up a word box saying "Have a "Silly" Summer. From Cole. I printed on heavy card stock an then cut out, punched a whole and tied on with curling ribbon.

For Caden's class I did bubbles, which also got used by the whole class but this didn't make a mess and the teacher took them outside for it and no harm no foul .. lol.

What you Need:

Bubble Wands (Michael's $1 buy one get one 1/2 off)

Curling Ribbon (Dollar Tree $1)

Card Stock.

I went on google search found a boy blowing bubbles (png so I could easily copy) put into a word doc and then put typed up a word box saying "Hope your Summer "Bubbles" with Fun. From Caden. I printed on heavy card stock an then cut out, punched a whole and tied on with curling ribbon.

Summer Time Gift Idea

Another fun gift I put together for this hot summer we are having this heat wave!  I found a great idea for a Pool Floatie Gift on Practically Living.  So easy to put together and it was such a hit with the first kid we gave it to that I made it for 2 more parties.

What you need:

Pool Floatie (Dollar Tree)

Beach Towel

Salt Water Taffy

Popsicles

Sunblock Spray

Carmex

Candy or whatever you find snack wise

Blow up the floatie, NOW if I would have been smart I would have Rick blow up with the air house, got a little light headed on this one .. lol.  I wrapped a ribbon around the towel and then added the other items to the center of the floatie to hold it all into place.  SUPER easy but so cool!

Have a GREAT day!

Summer Time Gift

Well I had plans to make a gift for Caden's teacher to feature today but I didn't get around to a gift for her.  So instead I'm featuring a summer themed gift I made for my boss.  She goes to Florida a lot for work and for pleasure.  I wanted to give her a fun in the sun gift.  I saw several examples on Pinterest so I just took a little from all and made my own.

What you need:

Beach Bag

Beach Towel

Flip Flops

Sun Screen

Chapstick

Trail Mix

Magazine

Ribbon

I took all the items and stack them together.  I tied them up with a ribbon and added to the beach bag.  Fun in the sun all in one bag :).

Any Summer Plans?

End of Year Gift ... Have a Fun Summer Teacher Gift

Now for the teacher gift!  As many of you know this has been a rough start of the year for Cole.  Last year he had such a hard time with his impulse control and having a teacher that didn't understand him or saw his heart.  This year we have gone through a battle but I think we have found the right stuff.  We have him on some great medication for his ADHD which allows him to think (no more my head hurts mom to many thoughts).  AND we have a TEACHER who is to the moon and back the best thing EVER!  She saw who he was and has helped push him to become GREAT.  This is the first year we have ended with such a positive end of year review.  

I wanted to give her something special to say thank you.  I found a great idea on Pinned Sisters for a Teacher Summer gift.  I took it and made some changes and made my own. I couldn't find a printable so I made my own if you would like it here it is (click here), print on a 5x7 cardstock.

What you Need:

Tea Container 

Beach Towel

Sunscreen

Drink (Crystal light or a Slush Adult Drink)

Life Saver Candy (Or Sunkist Candy) 

Magazine

Ribbon

Cardstock

I rolled the towel and rapped it with ribbon to make it tight to fit in the container.  I stuffed it in with the sunscreen, drink (adult drink because she deserves it) and Candy.  My jug was a little short so the magazine didn't fit in, so I tied it to the outside with ribbon.  I printed my message on the card stock and attached with a ribbon.  Easy but so cute!!

Teacher Appreciation Gift ... Summer Bucket

Last on my list to do for the Teachers was suggested by the PTF to do a summer themed gift.  I found a cool idea for a Teacher Relaxation Bucket on Coffee Cups and Crayons.  I took her idea and ran with it!

What you need:

Bucket

Water Bottle

Flip Flops

Book

Straws w/ Flamingo

You can find most of these items at the Dollar Tree.  I ran out of time and would have added a fun printable, but as usual I ran out of time.  Add all your items to the bucket (easy carrying case).
