This Teacher Survival Kit is the perfect gift to support our teachers year round! Who doesn’t need a bit of chocolate as a sweet pick me up through out the day?
We all know that our teachers work tirelessly to teach our children how to read and write and do fractions! And at the beginning of the year they are teaching them how to follow rules and how to learn new routines. I always feel like the first month of school is endless work for our teachers. They have to evaluate all their students for reading groups and teach them how literacy centers work. Show them where to line up before school and after school. The list goes on! And for that I think every teacher needs a sweet treat to get them through to that last bell of the day!
I created these fun Teacher Survival Kits (along with a label for Student Teachers, Para Professionals, and Admin Assistants!) for my kids’ teachers to get them through all that heavy but necessary teacher stuff they gotta do just to get to the good part of teaching those sweet little minds!
To make these you will need some plastic organizers. You can find them labeled as jewelry organizers or bead organizers in many hobby stores.
I found these 18 grid adjustable organizers on amazon that are very similar to the ones I used. Since the compartments are small you will definitely want to buy some mini versions of candy so they fit or you will definitely want to look for organizers with adjustable compartments so you can fit slightly bigger Fun sizes like I did!

Then just print the labels out on heavy card stock, cut them apart, and attach them with these glue dots or tie on with some twine!
Then comes the best part…adjusting those little compartments and then filling them with all that candy!!
Ellie has a student teacher her class this year so I made her a Survival Kit using a mini organizer!
