Teacher gift/ Craft Idea



What are your kids giving their teachers for an end of the year Thank You gift?

 I wasn't sure until now. I couldn't come up with an idea that wouldn't cost me a fortune considering my son has 5 teachers in his pre- K  class. Then I came across a website called Happy Mail for kids. It is a personalised mailing business, that sends mail to kids. 

What's Included in a mail kit?
  • personalized letter
  • lots of fun stickers
  • an easy to make craft
  • recipes for busy families
  • a message from You
  • and more!


On their site they have a bunch of cool craft ideas for kids. One of the crafts was a coffee mug full of cookies.Basically you get a plain white coffee mug from the dollar store, let your kids paint it with craft paint, fill with some yummy home made cookies. Wrap in clear plastic and tie a bow around it. Done. A cute Thank You gift for under $5.00
