So I was going through some old files on my computer the other day, and I stumbled upon this draft from about four years back that I never published. Looking at these pictures now, it’s hard to believe how tiny the twins were back then. This was taken when they were in Nursery, so they must’ve just turned four.
We had so many wonderful teachers and teaching assistants during their time in Nursery, and it was such a thoughtful gesture to create thank-you cards for them at the end of the school year. I remember thinking that an apple print would be an easy and fun way to make multiple cards quickly. Plus, it was a perfect craft for a sunny day like that one! We grabbed a large roll of paper and set up outside. No need to worry about making a mess—just pure creativity!
All we needed were some apples cut in half, along with red and green paint. The kids practiced stamping the apples onto the big sheet of paper first. They needed a bit of help to keep the prints clean since they loved sliding the apples around. Once they got the hang of it, they started putting one apple print on each card.
The prints looked adorable! While the cards dried, the girls had fun creating patterns on the leftover paper using an inkpad and stamps. For the thank-you messages on the front, we used stamps, but you could also handwrite them if you prefer. Writing out the cards was great practice for their little hands.
To finish off the designs, I added a few extra details with a black felt-tip pen. The final cards turned out simple yet charming, and they’re such heartfelt gifts for any special teacher. These would be perfect for Teacher Appreciation Week or even as end-of-year gifts.
I hope this brings back some fond memories for anyone who has similar crafts tucked away from their childhood. Let me know if you try something similar with your kids—it’s always a sweet way to show gratitude!
