Teacher Appreciation Week

As I am sure most of you know, it's Teacher Appreciation Week.

My daughter Savannah is in her 2nd and last year of preschool with the same teacher,

Mrs. Healey and assistant teacher Mrs. Buth who we LOVE!

Hopefully in a year when Sawyer is in Preschool he will have Mrs. Healey too!

I am a Room Parent for Savannah's class so I am involved in a lot of prep process.

Decorating the Door, organizing different ideas for the three days our kids have class, etc.

Since its a Lutheran Preschool I decided to go with a Bible Verse Theme this year.

We did Flower Day on Monday - every kid brought a flower in for each teacher.

We put them together in a vase with a Thank You Balloon for them both.

Wednesday was Lunch Day. We all pitched in money to buy both teachers lunch from their favorite restaraunt.

Friday is going to be Gift Card Day. Another parent shared this adorable idea from this month's Family Fun Magazine found here

Family Fun

Together with our Cricut's we managed to cut out 80 flower shapes to use for the flower bases.

She used her Hello Kitty Cartridge and I used my Accents and Shapes Cartridge to make the flowers.

We glued them together at the base leaving the tops open for the gift cards.

We sent 2 flower pockets home with each kid for them to decorate and bring back with their gift cards for the teachers.

Easter Fun with Bunny Bait and Bunny Paws

I found this adorable idea for some “Bunny Bait” to make for Easter gifts.

We decided to take it literally at our house and make it as actual bait for the Easter Bunny on Easter Eve.

Here is a link to the original post by Bake at 350
Bake at 350

I changed out the Candy Melts for Easter Marshmallows since we had them on hand.
We shaped them into Balls and put them into a Carrot I have for the Easter Bunny to find.

The Easter Bunny really enjoyed it from what we can tell. He left a trail all through our house with his paw prints when he hid the kids Easter Baskets and Gifts. :)

The kids enjoyed the hunt for their baskets as well.

Savannah followed the pink paw prints and Sawyer followed the blue paw prints.

I think this may have been even more fun for Jeff and I than it even was for the kids and the kids had a LOT of fun.
Can’t wait for the Easter Bunny to come back again next year!
