M&M Teacher Appreciation Gifts

between my kids we have 7 teachers in our lives!  so for teacher appreciation week i wanted to come up with something which the kids could help with and was fairly easy to put together.  so in come pintrest.com.  after a short search for "teacher gifts" i found some amazing ideas.  i decided to go with the M&M Gift which i found on this blog:

http://www.domestically-speaking.com/2010/05/m-ms-teacher-appreciation-gift.html

i found 3 very large bags of M&Ms in various kinds.

then i took a few of my mason jars and filled them up!  very easy and kid friendly as long as you don't mind them eating abut half of what they put in the jars.

then you print up this cute little poem:

Green is for the inspiration you give me each day.

Blue is for your patience in showing me the way.

Orange is for your warmth and caring style.

Yellow is for the way you always make me smile.

Red is for my life that you have touched this year.

You’re a very special teacher just like this jar, that’s clear.

You place knowledge in our children’s hands

and melt into their hearts and lives forever.

You’re a "Magnificent" & "Marvelous" teacher

Thank you for being my M&M.

i put mine on colorful card stock paper and punched a few wholes and threaded red ribbon around the card.

the teachers loved it and loved the card.

if you are a teacher know that this week all of your hard work and sweat is appreciated.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
