Things I learned from Teacher Appreciation week

Boys will homemake* if it's dangerous or edible!Jake working on his jar for his teacher; Crazy Aunt Manda giving moral support

Tips:

1. Use chemicals to etch your teacher's name into glass. If there's any chance that the chemicals can make you go blind if they come into contact with your eyes, the boys will be even more excited!
2. Make flower shaped sugar cookies. Use pinches of dough as rewards for good dough rolling and they will roll all night. Plus, there's some satisfaction for them from punching out the shapes, flowers or not!
3. Sticking the above flower cookies into the girly cans is fun too because when the skewer goes through the floral foam, it sounds like you're stabbing someone's guts! Yesss!
4. Any treats that need the blender are a sure crowd pleaser! Boys love to mutilate stuff by 'just pushing a button'.
5. Sewing animals can be fun when it comes to the stuffing part. Think about it : mushing, stuffing, body parts - what's not to love?!?
   

*"homemake" is my own word, I think, so don't try to steal it!
