Teacher Appreciation Candy Gram

Here's the Candy Gram that Emily and I made for her 2nd Grade Teacher, Mrs. Russell, for Teacher Appreciation Week. Mrs. Russell hadn't ever seen a candy gram before so it was extra fun seeing her expression as we read it out loud to her.


Note to self: Next year change the wording on the right hand side to "We are having MOUNDS and MOUNDS of fun this year and would have fallen to PIECES without you."

Easter Egg Hunt for a crowd

CHICK RACING STATION -- This was one of the funnest games. And it can easily adapt to little children to adults. For small children just have them race against themself (while walking carry a Marshmallow Peep Chick in a plastic spoon). For older kids/adults they have race against eachother and even have a relay race.
