Teachers day pencil shaped card + Free printable template
Teachers day pencil shaped card – back to school gifts
Today’s class was a big success.. but that meant that I had to do a lot of background work.. Plus 2 kids did not come so everything became faster.For Teacher’s day [ 5th Sept] I wanted the kids to make something special to take to school. First we made a pencil shaped card. I have a template that you can print for free.. See end of post to download the template. One A4 card stock creates 1 pencil shape card. Then we made a Sun – “Thank you for helping us grow” [ Sun = sunlight = growth… Get it? ] .. we added a note -“Thank you for being the sunshine in our lives”
To make the card,
- Yellow A4 patterned cardstock
- Printer to print out the template
- Crayons
- Scissors
- Double sided tape
Steps-
- Take a print of the template on the yellow card stock.
- Cut to shape
- Using crayons, fill in colour. Pink for the rubber . Grey for the metal. Green and orange for the pencil . Light brown for the wood bark.
- Using double sided tape, stick on the #1 Teacher apple on to it.
- Fold along the dotted edge to make a pencil shaped card
- Write your message inside. We wrote a personal message addressing Lil p’s class teacher.
