for their teacher...

a little
first day of school butter 'em up gift!
i like  jumbo calculators.
so i picked this one up for $2.50 in the target dollar section.
later that day this cheesy gift idea came to my mind.
(listen people. i can't help that cheese is always on my mind!)

warning... and funny story about this calculator. it's numbers are all wacky. when i push the 1 a 2 comes up. when i push the 4 a 5 comes up. that could make addition and multiplication a little difficult. SO... try out all the buttons before you buy one. haha. i did see some other fun colored calculators at walmart in their school section. they just weren't jumbo.

"my calculations" tags comes in green + blue.
get your calculations sheet here.

guess what? we are also over at the great blog how does she?  today sharing another super fun
first day of school butter em up idea!!  Go check it out!

Um...so cute! I am a teacher, and I would definitely smile if one of my students came into school with that :)

Super cute idea! I may design a cookie like this to add some "real" butter! I'll send pics if I do and use the tag!

What a great idea. Coincidentally, I was just finishing up an welcome back project for the teachers at our school from the PTO. : )

According to my calculations, you are incredibly creative and fun to read!

This is so cute! There are many teachers in our family, and I think they would all love this! Actually, anything other than a mug (they could fill a kitchen cupboard with all they've received)will be appreciated:)
Love the fortune cookies too!

I think it's a cute idea...however as a teacher I'm not sure what i would do with it. It would probably end up in my treasure box at some point or would be given away. But it's really cute...

It is a cute sheet but I cannot download it. I tried 3 times and got this message each time:
"The file is damaged and could not be repaired."

Definitely going to make these gifts for my teacher friends. :)

Doty Family  – (August 9, 2010 at 6:48 PM)  

I made these today and they turned out so darling. I put them in a bag with some bright shredded paper. I added a few packs of gum and a bag of jolly ranchers. The effect was darling! Thanks so much!

I love love love this idea! My niece is here visiting and I was like "lets make this for your teachers!" She said she'd help me make them for my boys, she's a sophomore in HS and 'apparently' isn't into cute & cheesey gifts?!

michelle@somedaycrafts  – (August 10, 2010 at 2:29 AM)  

If one of my students would have brought this to me on the first day of school, I would have had a Secret favorite student. This is adorable! I'm featuring this at somedaycrafts.blogspot.com
