Do you or your child have a special teacher in your life? Take advantage of one of teacher appreciation holidays to show your gratitude. My two kiddos have had lots of very special teachers over the years. Also, as the daughter of an educator, I feel very strongly about showing teachers what they mean in your life!

Here are some great ideas for teacher gifts and greeting cards that will allow you to have some creative time with your children. Just remember to keep it simple and have fun. You can make the ordinary extraordinary, and your teachers will always appreciate and enjoy a handmade gift from the heart. Happy creating, and thanks to all the great teachers I've had who made me love art and creativity!
