Macaroni Made ~Teachers Paint Our Children's Minds

Here's a simple yet meaningful back-to-school gift for your child's teacher.  It's a way to say thank you to teachers for everything they do throughout the year. This also makes a great teacher appreciation week gift in May, so pin this article for next year too by using the "pin" button above!

Thank You For Painting our Children's Minds

Supplies:

• clear plastic paint can from craft stores
• Jolly Rancher candy (or Starbursts, Skittles, anything that has rainbow colors)
• coffee gift card
• paper paintbrush with an expression written on it.

Instructions:

1. To create the paintbrush I just used a clip art picture and printed on it:

Have a great year! The Parent Association
