How about a fun candy gram! My daughter and I did this for a special 6th-grade teacher and we really enjoyed making this crazy little project together. We thought about the candy available in the candy aisle and then worked out a fun story, telling how much we love her teacher using the candy.  When we got to the store, we found a couple of more fun candies to use, so we added them to the story.  It was so much fun to see how creative my daughter was at storytelling!
