Anyway, instead of a thank you card, I suggested that I could create something extra special for the teacher.
So I cut some large paper butterflies and sat with each child (31 of them) individually and asked them to write their name on a butterfly. They also had a choice if they wanted to decorate it or write a message to their teacher.
I bought a large A3 size canvas and painted it first. Then decoupaged it and then painted again :-)
I used glue dots to stick the large butterflies on to the canvas and hot glue to stick on various embellishements. I used acrylic paints on the canvas. The writing was done with stamps. I wanted to create a very "crafty" feel as the teacher loves crafts too!!
I presented the canvas to her earlier this week and we both cried. She even whispered into my ear that it is the best and loveliest present she has ever been given during her career as a teacher.
I really hoped that she would like it and infact I think she loved it!
So here it is....
