Coffee Themed Back to School Teacher Gift!

In just over a week Ariana will be stepping into her German Immersion Kindergarten class for the first time. 

I'm trying not to get emotional about it, but this is the beginning of her full time, formal education for the next 13 years. Not just preschool but "real" school.

Ariana's not nervous at all, and already knows her teacher since she's seen her around CLA. She's excited to have real school supplies this year. A primary notebook, folders, her own pencil box!

To help us prepare for the big day we put together a little coffee themed goodie bag for our teacher to help her get back into "the grind".

See more of our back to school teacher gift at The Shopping Mama and see what all we put in there or what other suggestions might work if you wanted to make something similar for your own kid's teachers this year.

There is also a free printable for the gift tag that I created to make putting together your gift a little easier!

Teacher Appreciation Gift ($10, 10 mins)

I whipped these teacher appreciation gifts up in no time at all. I purchased clear plastic drink cups and skittles and viola!

Each cup took about 1.5 (14 oz) bag of skittles. And it only took about 10 minutes to sort the skittles by color. I printed out a cute tag to put on the straw to finish them off. We have 2 preschool teachers, a gymnastics teacher and a ballet teacher to give gifts too so I knew I didn't want to go overboard or have something that would take a lot of time and money. I'm sure you can relate. 

I'm sure you can design your own paper tags but if you're in a rush or creatively challenged feel free to use this free printable.

 I resized mine to 40% on my print preview and printed 2 on each page then I just trimmed along the black lines and made a slit for the straw.
