Addie's a great cookie decorator!
Where the magic happens, folks.
Assembly line!***
We also made Teacher Gifts: "Winter [Cold Season] Survival Kits"
We put handy little helping stuff in cute buckets with notes for teachers. Here's what's inside:
Pocket Tissues, Lotion, Lip Balm, Hand Sanitizer, 4 packets of Emergen-C, and a little bag of cough drops and chocolates labeled "don't forget your antioxidants!"
We happened upon a great sale at Bath & Body Works last weekend, so we let the kids choose sale items for their teachers, but you could find things that are just as cute and useful in the rx section at Walmart. Before we found the BBW sale, I found these cute hand sanitizers at Walmart's rx travel section, and that's where I got the Curel lotion as well (all for 97 cents each!). (The chapstick with the blue label is actually my favorite for winter). The gift buckets are from the dollar section at Target. I bought a bunch for the Primary activity last night, too. They are GREAT. So for about $6, you can give this sweet little gift to just about anybody!***
