Teacher appreciation week is a fun time to show your kids’ teachers how much you appreciate their hard work, but it always seems to fall during the busiest time of the school year. This quick (less than 5 minutes!) craft is a fun way to add a personal touch to a quick thank you coffee, latte, or tea.
