A Teacher Candy Poster is the perfect way to celebrate the end of school or Teacher Appreciation Week. Your kid’s teacher is going to love getting some sweet snacks to make it through the rest of the school year, or the rest of the school week!

Your kids can help you put the poster together and they’re going to love giving the poster to their teacher when it’s done.

What is a Teacher Candy Poster?

A Teacher Candy Poster is a poster you make where the candy adds words to the phrases. There are so many possibilities for these posters, and it’s so fun to use your kid’s teacher’s favorite candies (check out the ideas below for some ideas!). Have your kids help, and they’ll love giving it to their teachers when it’s done!

How Do You Make a Teacher Candy Poster?

Making a Teacher Candy Poster is such a fun way to celebrate your kid’s teachers. The best part is that they are so easy to pull together. All you have to do is write phrases on a poster board, starting at the top and gluing the candy where it goes in the sentence.

Keep adding phrases until the board is full, and you’re ready to give it to the teachers in your life! 

If you love making candy posters, be sure to also try your hand at our Graduation Candy Poster Ideas and our Father’s Day Candy Poster Ideas.

How Do You Stick Candy to the Posterboard?

Getting the candy to stick can be a little challenging because it’s heavy, but with the right materials, they will stick fine. 

If you’re using fun-size candies, then glue dots work great! If you’re hanging the poster on the wall or if you’re using full size candies, then you’ll need something more sticky. 

I’ve had luck with tacky craft glue like Alene’s or with hot glue, as long as I’m careful to not melt the candy.
