This was a gift we (younger step-daughter and I) made for a teacher. She likes to give thoughtful gifts, and I'm usually pretty good at coming up with them. This was easy and fun, and it's sure to have no duplicates.

A cheer book functions much like a year book (minus the photos). You have your child get all the children in his or her class to write something nice about their teacher on each of the pages. Each kid gets one page to draw pictures and/or write their note.

- 1 journal, notebook or small blank book
- junk to decorate it with (glue, markers, glitter, beads, rhinestones, stickers etc.)
~ takes about 10 minutes to do, unless you want to get more creative like decorating the inner pages with stickers and fancy paper punches on the corners.

We glued plain white paper down with the title on it to create this Cheer Book.

This can also be used for a Baby Shower guest book. Have the guests write something helpful, or just something nice for the mom-to-be on each page.

that is so cute. :D

That is a real sweet idea... I like it

What a cute idea :yes
I would like to do that for Jer's teacher but I don't know how to get all the little kiddos to write and color in it without her knowing about it :giggle

lol yeah, it's kind of a latter years thing. She was at the end of 5th grade when we did this one. I'd say that 3rd would be the earliest grade to start one of these.

that is such a cute and sweet idea!!

Thats such a cute idea!! I bet her teacher loved it.
