Teacher Appreciation: DIY Flashcards

It's National Child Care Provider Appreciation Day!

We said thanks to our teachers with mini fruit pizzas and homemade flashcards.


The flashcards were such a hit this morning, I wish it was my own idea. But it wasn't. The very resourceful blog, Urban Bliss Life did, and I'm so glad I stumbled across it. Isn't it great that we have so many creative, unique and craftastic ideas right at our finger tips?

I recreated them in InDesign and added my own touch with a cover card with a note from Carson and a binder ring. I printed, laminated and trimmed myself, but if you're not feeling design savvy enough to recreate, you can purchase the printable from the site.

The teachers loved them!


The fruit pizza might look like a Martha Stewart concoction, but they were actually pretty easy.

There's not even much of a recipe to follow.


Sugar Cookies + Frosting + Fruit

Sugar Cookies: I bought the Betty Crocker pre-made mix in a bag where you just add butter and egg. I didn't even mess with cookie cutters, just made drop cookies and they were flat enough to ice and top.

Frosting: I used cream cheese frosting

Fruit: I used three small strawberry slices, a kiwi half, 2 blueberries and a red raspberry on each cookie

Happy Teacher Appreciation Day!

That is so cute :) I'm sure they really appreciated that!!! I didn't realize he went to St. Joe EEC - my mother in law is the principal at the elementary school there!
