Teacher Appreciation Money Tree

It was teacher appreciation this week at my children's school.  In my son's class I wrote a letter which was given to each of the students suggesting an item to bring in for each day of the week.  The items were things like candy/chocolate, an apple, a flower, homemade cards and for the final day I took donations and made a Money Tree!  Yes, Money Tree!! Who wouldn't want a money tree, right?  I know I would!  

Sorry I didn't get pictures of the little pail that I put it in...it was really cute!

I also made a couple of little bugs to attach to the $ Tree.
