Simple and cute teacher gift!

My baby girls 1st year of pre-k has come to an end!  I honestly can’t believe how fast this year has come and gone.  She’s learned so much and made so many great memories.  Our class all got together and did a group gift for the teachers, but I wanted to give them each a little something from us as well!  I had a crazy week so I had to throw it together at the last minute so this is something that really really simple anyone can do!

Materials:

-Ceramic pot

-Flower or plant of your choice

-Ribbon

-Hot glue/glue gun

-paint, pens and markers

 

Directions:

1. Buy a plain pot and plant your favorite flower/plant in it

2. Hot glue ribbon around the top

3. Decorate the pot with paint

I chose a Gerber Daisy because they’re our favorite flower.  They just look so happy, don’t you think??  I added a little tag on ours that said “thank you for helping me grow” which the teachers LOVED!  I would have loved to put Emma’s hand print on the pot but she wasn’t home but that would look super cute and be a really nice memory for their teachers!  You can really get creative with this and have your little one decorate the pot, add glitter, rhinestones, whatever you want!
