Teacher Christmas

I know this post is a little late for this year, but honestly you could easily pull this off still if you want!  Once you buy the very few supplies these come together in minutes!  I try to find or do things for the teachers that are practical yet show that we are thinking of them.  I found TONS of cool ideas on Pinterest this year and this one has been so well received!

Here's the poem you could print or simply write inside of a card:
Since November you’ve been shopping, barely sleeping, hardly stopping.
Now it’s late, you’re in a scrape, out of paper or out of tape. Hope this wrap helps save the day!
Have a Happy Holiday!

**Side note, I did find this poem and the idea in a few different places.  I do not know who the original clever person is who came up with it though to give credit where it belongs.  I'm simply sharing with you all my interpretation =)

Supplies- Wrapping paper, tape, ribbon, hole punch, and a card (or print the poem)

The original post looked so cute and I could not figure out how to get the note and tape attached.  The wrapping paper I bought as a 4 pack, so each roll had plastic bands keeping the paper rolled up.  I used a paint brush to gently push between the paper and the plastic to give enough room to fish through a piece of ribbon.

 Added the poem and tape and pulled the ribbon nice and snug.  I was able to transport these to the school, juggle them alongside of a stroller and there were no casualties to report!! 
 Don't forget others around the school that you may want to show appreciation to such as the librarian, PE Teacher, Art, Music, Custodial staff, etc.  This year I whipped up a few batches of peanut butter cookies RECIPE and put them into ziptop bags with a printed tag that said "We are NUTS about you!  Merry Christmas!" 

It truly doesn't take tons of money to show those around you appreciation!  All told with supplies and ingredients this was all under $6!
