teacher appreciation Printable
Thank you to my Incredible Teacher!
Teacher Appreciation Week is coming up! Yes, we are remote learning like champs here at our house, but we have some tremendous support from a few teachers who are still going above and beyond to make this work! Of course, it’s no surprise, because those same teachers and staff were doing their best to make my daughters’ school year truly successful long before any pandemic. And my daughters miss them. I’m sure many of you out there agree with me.
Here you’ll find two versions in one printable PDF that’s quick and easy, full of prompts ready to be filled in with all kinds of fun and thoughtfulness and love. Why two versions? One is a bit simpler, has less writing prompts, and has extra room for doodles if that’s more appropriate for your child. Print on 8.5x11” paper and send in the mail, drop off at school with your kiddo’s homework if that’s still an option for you, or take a snapshot once it’s complete and email/text/Google Classroom it to your fabulous recipients. At this point, we parents have got all the social-distancing, tech-savvy hacks figured out, right? Right. Hopefully this helps you easily look super thoughtful (because you ARE!) and nobody has to know you had a quaran-tini while you supervised this thoughtfulness. Because “Happy Homeschool Appreciation Week” to you! Thank you and you’re welcome.

five things i miss about you!
Perfect for friends, family, loved ones, that amazing teacher, or the sweet neighbor you just can’t visit in person. Perfect for social distancing, and truly for any day when you can’t share a real hug, send this happy mail instead!
To create a mail-worthy postcard, you will need card stock for your printer, glue and/or tape. And of course, love. If card stock isn’t handy, simply print these on standard printer paper and glue them to a piece of thin cardboard (think cereal box) trimmed to size, or consider mailing in an envelope.
This printable is sized to print both sides of one 4x6” postcard on a single 8.5x11” page. Print away, share the love, and stay healthy!

free Valentine printable
Let’s Face It! You’re the Best Valentine!
We really must share two of my daughter’s favorite things: emojis and chocolate.
These couldn’t be any easier to assemble. Print, trim, sign, and add your favorite wrapped heart candies to show your friends they are the best!
These would work great with any fun treat, but for reference, I illustrated these with the dimensions of Dove brand chocolate hearts in mind (not endorsing anything, just happens to be a great option for this project), and we attached them with glue dots (found online or at most craft stores).
These have been sized to fit 6 valentines on an 8.5 x 11” page. I recommend printing on heavy card stock to support the weight of your candies. Enjoy!
I’d love to see your valentines in progress, or your little cutie holding their finished project ready to be delivered! Tag your photos on Instagram with @trishaklempel or #madewithtrisha and show me what you’ve been up to!
