Swim Teacher Appreciation Gift

Swim Teacher Appreciation Gift!! Inexpensive, but cute idea!!

My Lily recently finished swim lessons a few weeks ago. She was so excited to go until she realized on the first day that her teacher meant business! She was a little afraid (or maybe a lot of afraid) to go on Day 2, but fortunately she quickly got over that and looked forward to her lessons each day. I’m happy to report by the end of the two week lessons, Lily was actually swimming!!! It was such a huge improvement!!!

To thank her teacher for all she taught her and for her patience, we wanted to make sure we gave her a Swim Teacher Appreciation Gift. It didn’t cost much but was a little something to show our gratitude.

Yes, it’s a combination of my Hooked on You Pails, Birthday Boy Pop Box Set and What a Catch Father’s Day Gift. 😉

It literally only took minutes to do and  turned out super cute!

SUPPLIES:

– Clear pail (I get mine at Joann’s or Michael’s or online)

– Swedish Fish

– Printable Tags

– Paper Grass

– Washi Tape

– Hot Glue Gun

4. Hot glue your tags on. The rectangle tag will go in front and the circle will go on top. Be sure to have your child sign it.

    1. It really is so scary, especially for me who has 3 little ones who can’t swim!! It’s a little bit of relief to know that I have one now that can jump in and get to the side of the pool or swim back to the stairs! 🙂

  1. Were can I find the Washi Tape? I went to my local Hobby Lobby store and couldn’t find any. Also in what section of the store can I find it? I love your cute and simple ideas.

    1. Hi Yadira!! There are so many places online that sell washi tape, but I’ve gotten mine at Target. It’s in the Stationary/Art Supplies section. Hope that helps. 😀

  2. As a swim instructor it is awesome when you receive little heart felt gifts 🙂 it’s nice to know that what we do is appreciated enough for someone to take time out of a busy day and think of you!!!! This is super cute and I would be happy to receive 😉

  3. I love this! Super cute! Is there a way to make the tag say Guppies? I am in the process of making one for our swim teacher and I have two kids with one gift.
