Throughout the year I have been compiling cute little puns and statements that appear on teacher appreciation gifts. These are easy to make into cards or gifts for the special teacher (or coach or mentor or teacher’s assistant) who has been a big part of your child’s year at school.
And by changing the word ‘teacher’ to ‘mum’ or ‘dad’, many of these cute lines are also perfect for Mother’s and Father’s day cards and gifts.
