“A teacher is a compass that activates the magnets of curiosity, knowledge and wisdom in the pupils.” – Ever Garrison

For many formative years, teachers are one of the most important adults in a child’s life & nothing says Thank you like a handmade card for the Teacher.  A quick “thank you” note or email takes a moment to write and send but the pleasure it gives is enormous.  Last year we made a gorgeous Pencil shaped card, so the kids wanted another  shaped card.

I decided to keep it simple this year.  Opened PowerPoint and made a stack of books .. 3 rectangles placed on top of each other  slightly misaligned. Converted to pdf and printed on white card stock. The kids colored the books using crayons. I took printouts of my favorite apple image that said #1 Teacher. Pinned it on top. .. For the inside, I printed a Chalkboard image that said Happy Teacher’s Day.

For this craft, you will need –

1. One A4 size card stock in white
2. Crayons in different colors
3. Scissors
4. Glue
5. Markers to write your name & teacher’s name inside
