How fun is this box-tume idea? It’s a pop machine! Or Coke machine, depending on where you live.

ADULTS: End of Year Teacher Dress

May 25, 2017 By

Mrs. Castlebury wins best teacher award in my book! This amazing dress she is wearing was made by her 1st grade students for her to wear on the last day of school. How does she do it? She brings a white, cotton dress (similar to this one) to school a few days before the end of the year and lets her students take turns drawing on the dress with fabric markers. It’s that simple!

I love the rainbow collar, the students signatures, and the plethora of hearts, flowers, and rainbows. I can only imagine how proud and excited the kids are when the see their awesome teaching wearing their art work on the last day of school.

The sock monkey, lady bugs, and heart balloon… this is the sweetest dress I’ve ever seen.
