teachers gift

hi everyone

i am putting together a gift - in the shape of a collage on a notice board.
it will be made iin front of the teacher for the assembly.

i am thinking of things each child can pin on the notice board and for all the things to have a cryptic / witty meaning

i.e. an elastic band for being so flexible
a bulldog clip for holding it all together
an empty packet of smarties for making me so smart
a pair of sunglasses for seeing the potential in me
a packet of seeds for helping me to grow
a bag of marbles to replace the ones we made you lose etc etc


any more ideas fellow thinkers??????????
