“Survival Kit” A Fabulous Teacher Gift Idea
It’s time for back to school which means to time to meet the new teachers. My mom ALWAYS sent me with a little gift on the first day of school or on meet the teacher day. And I know without a doubt that it would give me the edge even before school started. I came up with this cute teacher gift / teacher survival kit that is easy to put together and that is very fun.
Materials needed are:
- Jar
- 2 boxes of Colored Pencils or crayons
- hot glue gun
- goodies for the inside
- Cute label or tag
Inside of mine I had…
My favorite crystal light energy packets, gum, Advil, lotion, gift card (for a few extra supplies) Tide to go pen, Wipes, Sanitizer, and chapstick.
You really could put anything you wanted in here. I think its the thought that counts. I started by hot gluing all the colored pencils onto the jar. I went through almost two boxes of the 24 count colored pencils. I finished in only about 10 mins. Make sure that the labels are either all facing out of in so that it all matches.
Don’t you think it turned out super cute!?!? I just think it’s so darling!

Nice one!
