A few of my favorite features I have only seen with ABCmouse; for my smallest child to be able to break each word up by syllables, record his voice, play it  back, and then pronounce the word correctly was great!  My oldest loved to give each lesson a try to earn tickets.  Then cash the tickets in for rewards and prizes for their room, hamster, fish, and etc.  Collecting tickets kept them both playing and asking for more learning time day after day!

I had an opportunity to do a guest post, Creative and Affordable Gift Ideas for Teachers, on Baby Cheapskate last year Have a look HERE.

Back to school is coming and VERY thoughtful and CHEAP (even FREE) gifts are abundantly available on Vista Print right now.

  • Use address labels to make this book belongs to or encouragement stickers (good job, great work) HERE
  • Use business cards for the teacher to give to parents at the beginning of the year HERE.
  • Make a tote for his/her school supplies – if you don’t know their name, make it generic to the school. Fill it with the free school supplies we will get over the next few weeks. HERE.
  • Use post cards to make Thank You Notes – you don’t even need to include his/her name. Post cards can also be made with a neat education/teacher saying on the front. She/He can use them for nice notes to students, parents, etc. HERE.
  • Use a banner to write welcome back students, happy graduation, happy birthday, etc. Maybe even fit to a ciriculum subject for the year (no longer available)
  • Create a t-Shirt for the first day of school or special events HERE.
  • Use a calendar to make a planner or plan for after school activities and events HERE.

Any ideas you have? Leave a comment below.

Well with April, we are approaching the end of the year. I wanted to share with you the Creative and Affordable Teach Gifts that I wrote for Baby Cheapskate.

Labels: Teachers will have to pack up and move many things. To easily identify their belonging, these FREE 140 ct of labels is great. Shipping adds around $3.

 

Postcards: Teachers often have to send home notes. Having a generic note, perhaps with their first name on the front, their classroom grade, school mascot/name, etc makes a nice personalized card. Pick up 100 for FREE! Shipping adds around $5.

 

Business Cards: Business Cards are great for teachers to share contact information with one another or with parents. Pick up 250 for FREE! Shipping adds around $5.

 

Flip Books: Make them a small flip book of the year. Combine with this great Snapfish offer. Buy one book and get two for FREE! You can also pick up a FREE Flip Book with around $4 S&H.

 

Gift Cards: Use services like Groupon, Living Social, or Eversave to find deals for your area. If you get credit to a restaurant/spa use that certificate price to go buy a gift card.

 

Daily Deal Sites: I find that Rue La La, One Kings Lane, Jasmere, and Gilt are great daily deal sites. Check back each day to see what new items they have as unique gifts. Shopping now ensures arrival in time for the end of the year.

So many changes occur over the course of a child’s school year. Growth in height, knowledge and a change in tastes and preferences can always be counted upon. During summer or when preparing for the back to school grove, take on this fun craft and create a back to school Time Capsule.

Supplies:

  • Coffee Can or Storage Jar or Box
  • Miscellaneous Items to Define Your Child
  • Crafts to Decorate the Outside of the container

Get creative with this activity. Watch your child. What is it you want to capture during this moment, this age, about his/her personality?

Consider the following activities/items to place inside the Time Capsule.

  • A Current Photo
  • A memento or picture from summer or summer vacation
  • Postcards from places traveled over summer
  • A ribbon or award that shows their current accomplishments
  • A hand print
  • A Self Portrait
  • The Recipe from a favorite meal
  •  A photo of the their favorite movie
  • Favorite Subject
  • Least Favorite Subject
  • Favorite Color
  • What Your child is most excited about/afraid about
  • Child’s Height
  • About Me Activity Sheet from Lakeshore Learning
Let your child write out most of these items to see how their handwriting also evolves and changes.

More about creating a School Time Capsule in our Back to School First Day of School Ideas & Traditions.
