This post launches a new series on Unique Gifts you can print and assemble for your favorite Catholic Teacher, Catechist or Grandparent!
Catholic Teacher Gifts with Poker Chips!
I have made a few different games using poker chips from the dollar store! These are made quite easily with 8.5″x 11″ label paper (also from the dollar store) and a 1.5″ circle punch. The label paper makes it quite easy to adhere images to poker chips. If you choose to have the images printed on regular paper and mod podge them to the poker chips…please either:
1. laminate the color print (even on one side with a roll of clear adhesive also from the dollar store) or
2. Â lightly spray the printed side with fixative or hair spray …so that the colors don’t run with wet glue.
Templates for the Tiny Saint badges are included in the Catholic Cube: Tiny Saints Edition , and they coincidentally fit 1.5″ poker chips perfectly!
The Catholic Cube: Tiny Saints Edition can be purchased below and printed at home for your favorite teacher. Please kindly do not copy the digital file for the teacher, but print and possibly assemble the kit for the teacher’s use in the classroom. This kit includes permission to print up to 3 copies…so you can even make a print for your own use in your family without infringing copyright.
The cube templates can be laminated* and fastened with velcro, assembled in almost infinite combinations and stored flat when not in use. This kit offers a few different game and activity suggestions for a very versatile gift…including various matching games and Bingo.
*You can use a roll of clear adhesive, carefully placing the printed templates face down on the sticky part and then trimming the edges.
Assemble the cubes and arrange in a gift basket for an enviable gift for your favorite Catechist! Compliment the gift basket with actual Tiny Saints…maybe the patron saint for your teacher or your school! Use the code ARMADEI10 for 10% off your purchase at Tiny Saints…and always free shipping!
