Christmas Gifts For Teachers

Each year at Christmas time the girls choose gifts to make for their yoga and dance teachers. This year Emma chose to make melted snowman ornaments. 

Grace chose to make a melted crayon ornament for her yoga teacher. We watched the video online and though it looked easy it truly wasn't. 

The toughest part for this ornament was getting the hat and carrot nose the right size! It took some doing but she finally got it figured out. 

After two broken ornaments and twenty minutes we finally had one made. She really wanted it more pink than orange but was happy with how it came out overall. 

Adding the snowman pieces to the ornament. 

Such a simple project but such a sweet one, too!

Grace decided that it would be better to chose a different gift for her dance teacher (rather than struggle with the melted crayon ornament again). With this in mind I shared with her a project I had seen on my friend Abby's blog. She loved it (I knew she would), and really it was a much, much better choice for her dance teacher and the assistant. 

Emma made a melted snowman ornament for Miss Lauri, too. This was rather fitting seeing how for the recital last June her class danced to "Let It Go"! 

Grace did such a fabulous job cutting out the ballerinas and snowflakes. 

Oh goodness, how we love these! It was a little tricky to figure out how to wrap them, but a manila file folder and some tissue paper did the trick! xo
