Pencil Crate Teacher Appreciation Gift

This week was Teacher Appreciation week at Samantha's school, and believe me, I APPRECIATE her teacher. Samantha is in Kindergarten and I think Kindergarten teachers are some of the most important teachers a child will have. They introduce a child to school and can influence that child's attitude about education and learning forever. Samantha has an amazing teacher who has really helped her blossom this year and gain an enthusiasm for school. Thank you Mrs. Melzer!

For Teacher Appreciation Week the school sent home lists of items each teacher had requested. Mrs. Melzer asked for washable markers, Smarties, Ziploc baggies, and stickers. Being me, I couldn't just put these items into a gift bag like a normal person. With a little Pinspiration I came up with my own fun little container. Here it is:

I found a mini milk crate at Target and hot glued pencils around the edges.

This is the Pinspiration

Teacher loot. I love how twine can make anything look charming!

Who doesn't love an apple cozy? They are about as practical as barefoot sandals, but oh-so cute!

There you have it. An adorable gift for an amazing teacher.

Happy Crafting!
