30 Kid-Made Teacher Appreciation Gifts
Fun & thrifty teacher appreciation gifts that teachers will actually USE!
It’s hard to believe we’re already heading towards a new school year! Didn’t summer just start??
Because my girls and I want to start the new school year on the right foot (and because we need things to do for the rest of summer), I’ve rounded up a list of 30 of the most clever DIY teacher appreciation gifts.
Be sure to save this list because there are so many adorable ideas that you’ll want to re-create them for Christmas, end of the year, or just because! And your teachers will adore them!! (I know that there are quite a few on this list I would love to have even though I’m not a teacher!)
