It’s never a bad time to thank a teacher for being such a fantastic teacher and if you ask me, you can’t thank them often enough. Making cute homemade items is a fun way to show them that you are appreciative of their efforts and it’s easy on your pocket books! One of the ways we’ve said thank you this year is by taking in cookies with a cute printable attached that says, “thanks to you, I’m one smart cookie”.
Smart Cookie Teacher Gift
Putting together the “Thanks to you I’m one smart cookie” teacher gift is easy. You’ll need:
- Cookies. Bake your favorite cookie recipe.
- A bag to package the cookies in. I used bread bags and then cut the excess off the top.
- ribbon (I used ribbon that I had at home in my craft closet, but I usually pick up ribbon from the dollar bin at Michaels)
- “Smart Cookie” Printable from Urban Bliss

Once you have all the items on hand, simply put the freshly baked cookies in the bag. Tie the bag with the ribbon with the printable attached and cut the excess off the bag. Of course, if you are using a bag that doesn’t need cutting, don’t cut. 🙂 I used a round cutter to cut the printable out of the white card stock I printed the printable on and then a mounted it on colored card stock. Have your kids present the cookies and just see if their teacher doesn’t swoon! 🙂

Thanks for the idea. I’ve been looking for lots of simple ideas for DS1’s teachers!
Great idea! So cute…I may have to steal this for the future!
Are you still offering this pattern? This would be super cute for my kids teachers. The link is not working. Thank you. God Bless. Mrs. Valerie
I really wanted to use this next week for my son’s preschool teachers, but there is an error with the link. Please repost, it’s such a cute idea! Thanks.
