These Teacher Appreciation Printables are adorable teacher flashcards to show how much you appreciate their hard work! Download these for FREE and print as many as you want!
As much as I follow the strategize-like-crazy-then-be-prepared-to-go-with-the-flow philosophy for my businesses, when it comes to my actual life, I'm about 99% fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants kinda gal. Usually it works in my favor (ex: "hey who's up for happy hour in 10 minutes?"). Sometimes, it causes a bit of a scramble.
Take Teacher Appreciation Week. Oh, it's THIS week! As in, it started yesterday.
Riiiiight.
Oops. I got nada.
What I do have in abundance is high quality paper and a printer. So this afternoon, before dinner, I made these teacher appreciation printable flash cards while my kids drew pictures for their teachers.
The kids helped choose the adjectives to describe teachers. I admittedly helped steer them in the direction of words like "creative" over my daughter's choice word for the letter "c": "carrot." I think her brain is still in Easter mode... :)
Teacher Appreciation Week Printable Flash Cards
I made printable PDFs of the flash cards that you can print out at home.
I've also included one teacher note that you can write in your child's teacher's name and there's also space for your child to sign. The note is shown here with a picture my son drew for his teacher (their names are blurred out):
We're giving these out tomorrow with a jar of my super chocolatey moist brownies. The recipe for the brownies will be posted on Friday!
See what you can do in half an hour? You don't even need half an hour though: in just minutes, you can download the flash cards that I designed. Print them onto nice thick cardstock, cut them out leaving a slight white border around the edges of each card to give them that classic flash card look, use a rounded corner hole punch for each as I did if you'd like, and then stack them in order with a bow and give to your child's teacher.
We all know our teachers deserve so much. I always wish I could do so much more to honor them and thank them for helping us raise our children with solid education and great care. Thank you teachers everywhere. You all make such a difference every day.

When I initially left a comment I seem to have clicked the -Notify me when new
comments are added- checkbox and from now on whenever a comment is added I recieve 4 emails
with the exact same comment. There has to be a way you are able to remove me from
that service? Thanks a lot!

Love these but I'm very tech challenged and haven't been able to get to these---thought what a great little gift to give my colleagues as we are gearing up for state assessments. I click on the link you have but then can't find it :( How much are they and is there some step I'm missing/skipping? Thanks so much.

AlanaG says
These are beautiful. Would love to purchase them for my classroom. Please let us know once they become available for purchase. Thanks!
Sydney says
Hi. These are adorable and I would absolutely love to make an adorable little bunting to hang in my classroom. Scribd will not let me download them without charging me a fee. Is there another way to get them?
Thanks so much.

Marlynn Jayme Schotland says
Hi Sydney! Thanks for your comment & glad you like the cards! Unfortunately, due to demand and my super busy work schedule, these are no longer available for free download (also because Scribd seems to have changed their free download options). They will soon be available in my Urban Bliss Design online shop!
Sheryl says
Wow! These are great. Thank you!

Wonderful idea! Thanks for sharing!
Lisa says
I think these are adorable and perfect for my son's preschool teacher. But...I can't get them to load. Do you have any suggestions. When I click on the Click here to download it doesn't do anything. Thanks for any help you can give me.
Lisa says
After 5 hours I figured it out...I am so excited!!!
chaney says
These are absolutely adorable! I'm always looking for different and creative ways to show our teachers how much we appreciate them. I do have one question I'm hoping you can lead me in the right direction. What kind of everyday printer would get this project done? I'm on a mission to purchase a new printer but have not the slightest idea what to buy. If you would be kind enough to share any info you think I might find helpful I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much!
Marlynn Jayme Schotland says
Thanks! I've used a variety of printers and if you want to print out nice cards and such I would go with either an Epson or a Canon inkjet. I've also had Dell printers and they print well. The Canon and Epson websites have some great pointers for which kind of home printer to get, and just watch for one that prints high quality color images onto thick cardstock. Read the customer reviews for each printer too: some of them are very telling :) Good luck!
Kristi says
Wow, these are super cute! Thanks for making them available, but what's with having to log in to download? Kind of a PITA, is there a good reason for it, or is scribd just that way?
Marlynn Jayme Schotland says
Thanks, Kristi! I think Scribd is just set up that way. Helps cut down on people who want to steal other people's work. Sorry it's a PITA for ya. If you want to email me, I can also send you a PDF via email :) info(at)marlynnschotland(dot)com.
Kristi says
Thanks! Will do!
Marlynn Jayme Schotland says
just sent it your way, Kristi :) Enjoy!
