This year my kids and I came up with a Teacher gift idea that’s both sweet and simple – a M&M Teacher Poem attached to a jar filled with M&M’s. I orginally saw this great idea on Domestically Speaking.
All you have to do is get a jar and fill it with M&M’s. Next, write/type out the M&M Teacher Poem and attach it to your jar. You could also place a gift card in the jar with the M&M’s.
I created a printable for the M&M Teacher Poem for you to use. See the end of this post for the link or click on image below.
Here’s the sweet poem:
Last year, my daughter and I made an easy-to-make and beatiful gift for her teacher. Maybe you’ve seen it here already – it was a Colored Pencil Vase. You can also find more teacher gift ideas at end of that post HERE).
Also, if you plan to give a gift card to your child’s teacher, then read about our Creative Wrapping Ideas for Gift Cards post HERE.

I was wondering if you have any Ideas for say “Mountain Dew” my daughters teacher likes it and she does not want to give him the M&M because she say they are to girly. Any help with a cute saying would be awesome. Thanks

Did you have a small vase in the colored pencils? Wondering how you kept the flowers fresh?
Hi Shannon – It was a soup can I recycled and placed water inside for the flowers. See post http://www.happyclippings.com/2011/04/diy-colored-pencil-vase-teacher-appreciation-gift-ideas.html for details on how to make the Colored Pencil Vase.
I just made these for my son’s therapists! What a fun idea, thank you!!!
