A great list of projects for school children, I really like many of the teacher gift ideas such as the cacti and the apple paperclips. They are very easy to make and would make ideal end of term gifts. It is really nice to be able to give something to the teacher that has been handmade and you know that it will last and be unique. My children have always given handmade gifts and even several years later I still see some of the gifts on their desks. Thank you for some great ideas.
