I hope you enjoy getting to know me.

Fathers Day creations

I wanted to share my students cards and gifts they made over the last couple of days for Fathers Day.  You can read my post on this packet here and it is available for purchase here.

So without further ado, here are their cards.

I love how these boys decided that their Dad's would like to have their favourite football team colours on the card.  To be honest this was not even something I had thought of but next year I will be better prepared as some of the kiddos asked me what are the colours for ....team.  I had no idea.  Next year I will have the football team colours ready to go on the whiteboard.

Here are the coasters the kiddos made, I think they came out really cute!

They drew their Dad in the middle of the coaster, see the bald one down the front, hee hee.  I laminated them and then.......

I hot glued a piece of felt on to the back.

Here it is in action with my coffee cup.

I would love to see what some other Aussie teachers have created for Fathers Day!  Oh and Happy Fathers Day for Sunday all you Aussie Dads.

Fathers Day card and gift set

Fathers Day is just around the corner for those of us that live in Australia.  (Alright I may be just a little early) This year I plan on being organised and ready for it, I usually end up saying to my Teacher Aide "Is Fathers Day this weekend?" then we rush around for that week getting a card and gift ready.   Not this year!  I am ready and Fathers Day is about 3 weeks away.  I usually make the same gift each year, only because I think it is a really cute and useful gift but this year I have tidied it up a bit.
I make a cute t-shirt card and a coaster for Dad's to put their "beverage" on and Mum will not get cranky at him for leaving rings on the table.
I have also included some non Dad specific (?) coasters and a blank card for those littles that may not have a Dad to give a gift to.  I always encourage these kids to make a card and gift for either a special male in their life (Grandad or Uncle) or for someone who helps them alot and that shows them lots of love.
Here are a couple of pics and you can find it here at my TpT store.
