First he colored a paper mache heart shaped box. I somewhat reluctantly sacrificed a bunch of my really nice, extra shiny scrapping rhinestones because they're self adhesive and truthfully had just been sitting in the box 'o stuff for a long time. Then we cut heart shapes out of scrapbook paper, one with his picture and the others with notes on the backs of them saying what Mr. Golden Curls liked most about his teacher. Then I ran a ribbon through all the hearts, glued the knotted ends of the ribbon to the box bottom and lid so it streches out like a garland when the box is opened and added some of my extra promo pins. Pretty quick project and the teacher was thrilled declairing it the best gift "really!"

Cute! I'll have to remember this for the kids Sunday School teachers. You are so creative!
As a "former" preschool teacher and a "forever" lover of preschoolers, this gift is the kind that would bring a tear to my eye. Truly a gift of love and a constant reminder of the gifter. What a lucky teacher!
