We have been busy bees getting ready for Mother's Day. Every year I'm brainstorming new ideas for Mother's Day gifts from my students. I never seem to stay with an idea more than 1 year. But, this year may be different. I really love how our fridge magnets turned out this year. I'd say it's a keeper, but I used baby food jar lids and my toddler will most likely be moving on to big boy food. I've been saving the lids because I just knew I could come up with some way to use them in the classroom. I seem to say that about everything! I had seen an idea on Pinterest about making
matching games using the lids and that sparked the magnet idea. I used 3 lids for each student, and simply attached a magnet to the back. They really turned out cute. My toddler has been playing with them all night, so hopefully my parents love them as much as he does.
I found this super cute way of wrapping simply using a baggy and scrapbook paper from a
crafty blog. Mine aren't nearly as fancy as hers, but they'll have to do :). I just used plain cardstock and typed my message at the top.
So sweet! I love how you upcycled your lids! Perfect!
ReplyDeleteI really like this idea - they are adorable.
