To get the year off to a great start I made little teacher gifts so the kids had a good way to say hello to their new teacher.  There isn’t anything wrong with a little brown-nosing is there 🙂

Using the supplies I already had on hand, they were very inexpensive and easy to do. Feel free to adjust the supplies needed to fit what you already have too!

You are Mint to be my Teacher!

Begin by filling each pencil box with the Lifesavers mints.

The tags were made using Word and then cut out using a 2 1/2 inch circle punch and the Scallop Circles #2 die cut for the big shot.

I asked the kids to hand write a little message to their new teacher on the back of the tags.

Then tied the tags on with the ribbon.

They turned out super cute and the kids were very excited to have the gift to give their teachers.
