Xmas Gifts for Teachers


Come Christmas time its always a challenge to find the right gift for the kids teachers. Sure I could easily go out and just buy something but I feel that they should have something a little more special. So each year I try and find a craft project that is easy enough for the kids to do but still looks lovely. (The one thing I absolutely can't stand is parents making the project and claiming that their child did it.) So this year I bought some kaisercraft flourish baubles which both my 6 & 8 year old could confidently paint. I then sprayed each bauble with glimmer mist (only because I'm a control freak and didn't want to see any wasted otherwise the kids would have happily sprayed away). My 6 year old felt putting the rhinestones and pearls onto the baubles was a bit tricky so my 8 year old has done all of those. I got the rather mundane task of adding all the hanging ribbon. Each bauble will be teamed up with a bag of Haigh's chocolates (teachers need something yummy after all and you can't go past Haigh's) to make what we think is a rather lovely Christmas present. Hope you like them too!
