Teacher Gift – Apple Tree Magnet Board

By

Remember the Family Tree Magnet Board? Well I got the idea to make a gift for Joshua’s teachers using all the kids faces on apples. Especially appropriate given the name of his preschool.

Here is a close up of those cute little preschoolers on their apples.

Here is how I made mine and you can do it too.
  1. Scan a class picture of all the kids and select a 1/2″ circle of each childs face. Save each face as a picture and print them out.
  2. Print out and cut out the tree top and tree trunk. (Template at the bottom)
  3. Mod Podge the background paper, tree top, and tree trunk onto your metal board. Mine was 12″x12″.
  4. Next glue some paper for your apples and leaves on to some old cereal boxes to give them some weight. Cut out as many apples and leaves as you need.
  5. Glue your faces on the apples and then add the leaves.
  6. Attach a magnet to the back of each apple.
  7. I used command strips on the back of the sheet of metal to attach it to the wall. You are done!

His teachers are pretty used to me making handmade gifts by now, but I think they REALLY loved this one. Most of the kids will be returning next year for the pre-k class, so that will be fun for them to see it next year too!
