It's teacher appreciation week! Time to let your kid's teacher know that you appreciate them! So what to do? What to get? What to make?
My kiddo was no help:
Me: "Does she drink coffee?" K: "I don't know."
Me: "What's her favorite color?"
K: "I don't know."
Me: "What does she like to do?"
K: "I don't know."
Great.
I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to try making some marble magnets - they've been on my to-do list for some time. There are a lot of tutorials on how to make them but I used the one on Not Martha (clever blog title don't you think?)
For my first attempt I'm happy with the way they turned out! It was super easy to do, inexpensive, took very little time and required only a few supplies (magnets, silicone glue, flat marbles and decorative paper.) I kept thinking of more words to use but decided to stop at twelve.
I'll definitely make these again....but tweak a few things like the font that I used, the size, etc. We are putting the marbles on a magnetic dry erase board and wrapping it up. Next time I'll put them in an empty Altoids tin, or better yet a tin with a clear window on top? Has anyone seen these and/or know where to get them? (Update: I found some at Oriental Trading Company)
Hope Kailani's teacher likes it!
