I can’t believe it is June !!! It feels like we are in the rocket and flew around the earth in 1 second 😂. When my son started the school I made up a plan, that we gona do handmade gift to his teachers. I was searching for some ideas about what teachers need. I mean really need and use what we give, not just a gift that stays on the corner. So, I come up with the idea of making crayon bottle that teachers can use to keep their pen. And gift card from amazon. During my research I read that most states teachers are underpaid. They also use their own money to buy school supplies sometimes. That’s why I thought crayons will be great gift, so teachers can use it later on. So, I didn’t glue it to the jar but used a rubber band in order to keep them together .
Here are the things you need to make your crayon pen holder
- Empty baby fruit purée jar
- Box of crayons
- 1 rubber band
- Piece of yarn
- 2 sticks/ pencil
- Ribbons for decoration
- Small size cloth pin
- Clean the jar
- Put the rubber band around the jar
- Ask your child to help insert the crayons ( it will be fun)
- Put the popsicle sticks on each side
- Insert the cloth pin through the yarn. It will help the pin hang straight
- Tie ribbon on top of rubber band for decoration

Another great gift idea to let your child write a thank you letter to their teachers. Believe me it is precious for teachers knowing how their students and parent appreciate their hard work. I got the idea and free print from this blog Thesuburbanmom.com
