Cardboard (reuse the front or back of a cereal or cracker box)
Construction paper
Hole punch
Yarn
Scissors
Markers
A glue stick
Photos (of your child, their school class and the teacher)

How-To Art-Making Steps

Choose a shape for the book. Try a traditional rectangle or square shape or go with a round apple for the teacher or a heart.
Draw the shape onto the cardboard.
Cut the cardboard out.
Repeat the drawing and cutting steps for another piece of cardboard, to make a cover and back of the book.
Trace the cardboard shape onto the construction paper.
Cut the paper out. Make as many pages as your child wants.
Punch a hole at the top or the bottom of the cardboard and each piece of paper, in the same place.
Help your child to write a special note on each page.
Glue one photo to each page of the book.
After the glue dries, stack the pages and tie them together with a piece of yarn that your child threads through the hole.
Write a “Happy Teacher’s Day” message on the front cover.
