Make a Bean Bag Tosser

Ordering these through teaching supply catalogs can be so expensive. I was able to find this tutorial on how to make my own Bean Bag Toss Game. Thinking of making some with fabric from old clothes, sheets, etc I have at home.

Here's the link: How To Make a Bean Bag Toss Game.

fyi-I wonder if the type of bean matters.

Parent Volunteer Thank You Gifts

With our class' graduation coming up (called Moving Up in our Head Start center) I've been on the hunt for cheap or free gifts to give to the parent volunteers who worked so efficiently and endlessly to make this year an amazing one. Our students benefited so much from having such a dedicated Parent Committee. We were able to get so many supplies, trips, and moral support that I can't begin to thank them enough.

Since I have quiet a few people I'd like to thank, I'm trying to keep gifts for every parent volunteer $10 or under each. I came across these great ideas below.

Free Customizable Printable Certificates Here you can upload your own image, type in any text, and print! These would be great for adults and children alike. I plan on getting pretty $1 store frames for these. And since I like getting crafty, I'm working on making these beautiful Felt Hydrangeas and creating mini pin corsages. Also thinking of giving these two gifts out with the Cupcake Stand/Dome at our class party.
