Looking Sharp Sharpie Valentine for Teachers. Gift this Looking Sharp Teacher Gift Tag printable to an educator who has made permanent impact in your life!

Looking Sharp Valentine Gift Tag Printable Set

Looking Sharp Sharpie Valentine

As a former teacher, I am always looking for ways to show thanks to our children’s’ current teachers. Cute gifts I have bought in the past are candy bars at checkout, small $5 Starbucks gift cards, and even adorable Vera Bradley binder clips (those were loved!) I like to randomly gift things, sometimes on Thankful Thursdays, but I also like to recognize them on holidays – even if minor holidays like Valentine’s Day.

As you know we love Valentine Printables (okay we love all printables), so we came up with this Looking Sharp Sharpie Valentine for you to gift to your favorite teachers. Give to a teacher who has colored your world or made a permanent impact on your child – full pun intended!

Looking Sharp Sharpie Valentine Supplies

Most obviously, sharpie markers are needed for this Valentine. We suggest printing on 8.5 x 11 card stock. If you care to save on printer ink and paper, we were able to send ours to Staples (online) and print for under $1. More on that below. We used curling ribbon we had in our gift drawer, but Amazon has some cute Valentine Ribbon too!

When incorporating science and math into the home, it doesn’t have to be boring, These engaging STEM Projects for Kids are perfect for a virtual learning, home school or for a school classroom. STEM activities for elementary, middle school and even younger!

STEM Projects for Kids

STEM Projects for Kids | Elementary, Middle & Preschool


Whether you’re homeschooling your kids or simply looking for a fun and educational activity to pass an afternoon at home, a STEM project can be a fun experience for the whole family. STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Since those are some of the fastest-growing career fields, it’s a good idea to start early in cultivating an interest in the sciences and math. You’ll have no problem doing just that with the fun list of STEM projects for kids that we’ve compiled.

Most of these STEM projects use common household materials, so you can likely set up an experiment or project TODAY. Scan the list and get started! Don’t forget our five minute science experiements for kids before you go!

More Stem Ideas

Before you get started, take a look at these other Stem Ideas!

  • Five Minute Science Experiments
  • STEM Challenges for Kids

STEM Projects for Preschool, Elementary & Middle School

STEM Projects for Kids

Glowing Eggs Science Experiment for Kids | Stem Projects

Kids get a big kick out of making glow in the dark eggs. Although the process itself takes a few days, the experiment only requires a few minutes of prep. You’ll use vinegar to dissolve the egg’s shell plus an added ingredient to make it glow. The result is a rubbery, “naked” egg that’s lots of fun to examine. Use it to study the parts of an egg, to learn about osmosis, and to learn about simple chemical reactions. | Frugal Coupon Living

If you have Skittles and water in your home, you have everything you need to set up this quick Skittles Rainbow Science Experiment for the kids. Kids of all ages will enjoy watching the colors spread, even your toddlers and preschoolers. The warm water dissolves the sugary coating very quickly, releasing the colors into a beautiful rainbow. | Fun with Mama (See this same Skittles Rainbow Experiment with our Elf on the Shelf.)

Baking Soda Science Experiment & Stem Activities

The baking soda experiment is a classic; most everyone has done this experiment at home or school as a child. It’s easy to set up and is always a hit, though. The acid-base reaction creates lots of fizzy fun due to the carbon dioxide that’s released during the reaction. While you don’t have to dye your baking soda, we think it adds to the fun. Not only that, but it encourages kids to take note of the color mixing that occurs where the colors touch. | Frugal Coupon Living

Pencil Stem Activity | Preschool, Elementary, Middle School Ideas

Do you think a plastic bag poked with pencils will hold water? It will! This is a fascinating experiment. You’ll need really sharp pencils to push through the baggie full of water. What makes the water stay? Long-chain polymers from the bag seal around the smooth edge of the pencil to maintain the barrier. Isn’t that fun? | Hello, Wonderful

Glowing Volcano Science Experiment & Stem Projects

Our glowing volcano experiment can quickly be set up in just five minutes, and you probably have everything you need already. It’s your classic baking soda and vinegar reaction inside a playdough-shaped volcano with a secret ingredient to make it glow in the dark. | Frugal Coupon Living

Walking Water Kids Science Experiments & Ideas

Introduce your kids to color mixing with a super simple walking water experiment. You’ll need some small jars or bowls, paper towels, water, and food coloring. Pretty simple, right? As the paper towel soaks up the water, the color (and the water) start moving up and then down into the empty jars. Eventually, the colors from the two adjoining jars will mix in the empty jar, creating new colors. | Messy Little Monster

Oil & Water Kids Science Project and Stem Activities

You’ve probably heard the expression, “oil and water don’t mix,” but have you ever studied why? Explore the concept behind this common colloquialism with our oil and water experiment. Oil is less dense than water, so the two cannot mix. Using food coloring makes this concept clearer! When the droplets of colored water are dropped into the oil, they sink to the bottom. | Frugal Coupon Living

S'more Solar Oven Science Projects & Stem Activities for Kids

Summer and fall are the seasons of S’mores, so of course, this experiment making solar oven S’mores is sure to be a huge hit. Using common household materials like a box, foil, and plastic wrap, you can have marshmallows plumping up and chocolate melting over your graham crackers in no time. | Desert Chica

DIY Straw Rockets & Stem Activities for Kids

Your kids will love these straw rockets. Use the free printable rocket template, straws, scissors, and glue to get started. Have a contest to see which child’s rocket goes the farthest! This project helps kids learn about physics, particularly acting forces that put objects in motion. Add weight by attaching paperclips to see how that affects the rocket’s flight. | Artsy Fartsy Mama

Raining Cloud Stem Project & Activities for Kids

How do rain clouds work? Find out with a simple rain cloud science experiment using shaving cream, food coloring, and water. The heavy drops of food coloring break through the shaving foam cloud, just as rain clouds begin to break apart as they become too heavy with moisture. | Laughing Kids Learning

Stem Activities for Kids - Pencil Stack & More

Each year, you buy loads of school supplies for your kids. Use some in your science explorations! This post on STEM activities with pencils demonstrates a couple of ways to use pencils in STEM activities, such as building a tower or building shapes. | JDaniel4’s Mom

Stem Activities | How to Make an Art Bot

Make an Art Bot with the kids! This fun project uses a small motor (which can be purchased on Amazon for just a couple dollars each), a battery, some wire, and some markers, along with a few other materials. Kids will love watching their art bots scribble designs all over the paper. | Science Sparks

How to Make a Water Compass & Stem Projects for Kids

Make a water compass! This is a simple STEM activity that takes just a few minutes. You’ll need a magnet, a paperclip, a leaf, and a pan of water. Once the paperclip is magnetized, inserted into the leaf, and placed in water, it will slowly align the earth’s magnetic field, pointing north.  | The Gingerbread House

LEGO Challenge Game & Stem Ideas for Kids

Do you have a little builder on your hands? Print this awesome Lego challenge game to kick things up a notch. Kids create a spinner and then use the printable and the spinner to select an activity. It’s great for those, “Mom, I’m bored!” days that we all have now and then. Each spin tasks the kids with something different, such as building a pyramid, a robot, a plane, or building with one color. | Artsy Fartsy Mama

Ball Marble Run DIY & Stem Projects for Kids

Want to make a ball run or marble run without putting tape all over your walls? This magnetic ball run is a clever alternative using magnetic tape to put the cardboard tubes on the fridge instead. Encourage kids to design their own tube or tunnel system to see which way the marble gets to the bottom the fastest. | Taming Little Monsters

DIY Pom Pom Shooter & Stem Activities for Kids

Design a pom-pom shooter (or several) and have a fun afternoon blasting each other with pom-poms. It’s a fun alternative to a NERF gun because, hello, pom-poms are soft! You’ll need to find something to do with those pool noodles after summer’s over, anyway. One pool noodle can make lots of shooters. You’ll just need some balloons, tape, and pom-poms to complete the project. Don’t forget to discuss the forces behind blasting the pom-pom out of the pool noodle. | Hello, Wonderful

Bridge LEGO Challenge & Stem Projects for Kids

Challenge the kids to build a bridge using Legos, wooden blocks, pencils, or anything else they want to use. The bridge needs to support the weight of a can of veggies or something of similar weight. You’ll be surprised at the ingenious bridges they come up with. | Mama Smiles

Balloon Rocket Science Experiment

This balloon rocket science experiment is so fun! A straw is threaded through a string, and then the balloon gets blown up and taped to the straw. Let it go to see how far it travels. The more full the balloon is, the farther it will go. What other factors might affect how far the balloon travels? | Hands-On Teaching Ideas

STEAM Coconut Tree Craft & STEM Projects for Kids

Provide materials like a paper towel tube, playdough, pipe cleaners, and alphabet beads, and let the kids figure out how to construct a coconut tree for this cute STEAM Activity. It’s perfect for preschoolers and kindergarteners and goes along brilliantly with the book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.  | ABCs of Literacy

LEGO Challenge STEM Ideas for Kids

Build a tall tower using your child’s Lego Duplos or other similarly-sized blocks. Have the kids work together to see just how tall they can build it. How can the tower be supported to build it even higher? Against a wall? Can you build it to the second story? Have fun with it! | Mama Smiles

Ready to organize the home and create a DIY kids study space? These 15 Inspirational Homework Stations are Quick and Easy Homework Spaces to provide the kids with easy access to school supplies, quiet areas to work and bright colors to get the creative juices flowing.

Best Homework Stations

It’s been awhile since we shared our Homework Center Ideas. We realize the need more and more for the return of these work from home school rooms and zones. We have put together some of the Best Homework Stations to inspire you to get working!

Kids Study Spaces

It can be easy and affordable to make Kids Study Spaces and Homework Centers. Take a look at these inspirational ideas to get started with home schooling or finishing school work.

Display your child’s accomplishments so they can enjoy a beautiful art gallery wall while they study. We used Michael’s Studio Décor® frames for a pop of color. I did have to cut down the pictures a little bit to fit some of the frames. With 40% off, it was so affordable and I love how it came out.

It’s possible to build a desk/homework station for under $100. Using Stackable 3-Shelf Organizers, Sarah made a desk using a $19 Ikea Counter Top. She ideally was going for butcher block and could have easy made it with Butcher Block Self-adhesive Vinyl. | Pretty Providence


Small spaces? Turn a closet into a homework center. We love the unique touches on this study center. | I Heart Organizing

Create this simple DIY Rotating Desk Organizer lazy susan for an easy school at home Homework Station in under 10 minutes! It keeps all supplies at your fingertips! Portable and perfect for moving from room to room and space to space. | Busy Creating Memories


Organizing doesn’t have to be costly. We love this frugal friendly Dollar Store Hack. Get ready for a clutter-free school zone with this simple Dollar Store portable homework station and our free printable label! | Simple Made Pretty

Create a homework station for your kids by using a metal rolling utility cart to store books and other school supplies. This allows you to move school work from room to room and space to space. | Suburble


If you are using common space like a dinning room table and need privacy, consider making homework station privacy boards using a white tri-fold project board. So easy and each child can customize and design their own space. | Mom Advice


Have a wall of clipboards you can easily rotate art work, calendars or to do lists. So easy to lift the clip and remove. | Clean and Scentsible


This was done in a classroom but can easily be done to organize a homework space at home. Check out Michael’s Belmont frames – they are affordable. | Dandelions and Dragonflies

A homework station can be as simple as a binder. Grab this one with printable sheets for organizing.  | I Heart Naptime

Use a nook and chalk paint to create an inspirational space for homework. | By Dawn Nicole


Use a hanging shoe organizer to sort school supplies making an easy, tucked away homework center. | A Bowl Full of Lemons


We shared this hidden closet idea in our Homework Center Ideas  but wanted to share it again. Turn a crawl space like under the stairs storage into a quiet reading nook, art center or school work area. | Rebecca Propes

It doesn’t have to be expensive. Grab a $22 Home Depot pegboard and mount over a tabletop or desk. At a touch of hanging baskets, hooks, and cups to keep homework supplies within reach. Amazon has Pegboard Organizational Sets.| Claire Collected


Turn a corner of the playroom or kitchen into an area the kids can work or create. Just grab a pre-existing table and chairs. This homework station is complete with build-in chalkboard and art display board. Love the v-groove paneling. | The Project Girl

Want to involve the kids? Grab the sewing machine and make these adorable Seat Sacks for the Kids’ study corner. | Scissors and Spatulas

Elf on the Shelf King George

Every since Disney+ released Hamilton, the world has been obsessed. In fact, if there is any good from 2020, it has to be Hamilton. Alexander Hamilton.

Since the Hamilton Soundtrack is on repeat in our home, many of our dinner table include at least one Hamilton Quote. If your family also talks in Hamilton quotes, then make sure you do this 2020 Elf on the Shelf Idea.  We turned our Elf on the Shelf doll into King George. Awesome. Wow.

What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD.

Teacher appreciation gift ideas with free printables. Ideas for each season of the school year.

Easy and Creative Teacher Appreciation Gift Ideas

Prior to blogging, I was a teacher and I absolutely loved it. Teaching brought about some of my most memorable years and I would go back in a heart beat if it fit my life and schedule. One of my favorite time of the year was spring for both teacher appreciation and volunteer appreciation week. It wasn’t getting huge gifts but it was the heart felt wishes my students gave that mattered most. By spring we had built meaningful relationships and when they would write me notes of appreciation, they always brought tears to my eyes. Cleaning out a cabinet with my daughters this past week, I came across some of those notes and half a dozen years later, they still warm my heart.
