I agree - teachers love tote bags, for elementary school teachers use primary colors. (My sister teaches kindergarten and one was not enough!)

aprons...I think just about everyone likes aprons even if they never use them.

do both. An Apron and a tote bag. if you know her favorite colors do them. I would also suggest going black or dark color on the bottom of the bag so that it wont show dirt so much. I have a couple and wish that they had dark bottoms. That way I don't have to wash or clean them so mcuh.

Teachers - what do you like to get?

Notes of appreciation probably go over well, too.

If you look here, you can see what I helped my 3 8 year old grandchildren make for their teachers. They each wrote a personal card on why they appreciate them.

While these gifts were not the most practical, they certainly were a big hit in the classroom. Teachers love to be appreciated.

My grandaughter and I made a little autograph quilt for the whole class to sign out of a 12" block and 20 siggies. It was quick to make and came out really cute. Very fast project.
