Teacher gifts

   Getting ready for K's upcoming Christmas party at school. We like to do unique things and just have fun with the gifts. This year K said she wished she could give Mrs. C a red apple that would never rot. We couldn't think of how that would be possible. Then, Steve had a brilliant idea. We'd use an apple gourd and create an "apple that won't rot". He did an excellent job drying it, sanding it and then painting it. It came out really well!!!

Mrs. C was impressed with the gift and loved that we had dried and saved her the seeds from inside it to plant. To round out the gift we made homemade turtle brownies, peanut butter fudge and no bakes. We put them in layers in a really neat plastic bowl with lid that had measurements on the side. We added in a jar of homemade cocoa. This year we made different flavors (we gave the teachers Red Velvet cocoa), did dipped spoons for stirring and created a couple of really nice gift bags :)
