Stoneware Sensations cookbooks, "You are a 'Sensational' Teacher!" 7. The Ice Cream Scoop with a big red bow and tagged "Thanks for teaching me the " scoop! "
8. The Adjustable Measuring Spoons tied together with curling red ribbon and tagged "You really measure up"
9. The Paring Knife with Sharpening Case "Any way you slice it you're great" (also makes a great knife for the classroom, lunch box and picnic
basket)

The Bar Board makes a great cutting board for the classroom and is so easy to store in a desk drawer. 12. The Kitchen Shears are awesome for crafts, packages, cooking, the garden, and so much more! 13. With the Smooth-Edge can opener, there is no risk of children being cut by a sharp can edge.
14. The Serving Tongs are wonderful for children to serve themselves without making a mess of the table. It helps them acquire independence to serve themselves.

The Flour Sugar shaker can make any child into the best "duster" for powdered sugar, flour and cinnamon sugar. 22. The Deluxe Mini Muffin Pan is a teachers dream. Make 24 cupcakes for the entire class and only once in the oven. Not to mention no waste of half eaten cup cakes and oh so much less frosting. (enough said) 23. The All-Purpose spreader is the only way to go to frost cupcakes. And a great size for little hands. 24. The Bread Tubes make the coolest bread! Child size sandwiches, fun
shaped- sliced cheese, ice cream, sliced meat, rice krispie treats, jello molds and so much more.

As a teacher, I appreciate the thoughtfulness behind these gift ideas. It's always nice to feel appreciated by parents and students. However, I want to remind everyone that the best gift you can give a teacher is a heartfelt thank you note or a simple gift card. We put so much of our own time, money, and energy into our students and classrooms, and it can be exhausting. Your support and appreciation mean more than any material item. Thank you for considering us during the holiday season.
