How cute is THIS idea?! I had a first grade teacher contact me and place an order for two capes — turns out she is a first grade teacher and is planning on using them in her classroom for birthdays and rewards.
What a great idea! How cute would it be to have a Superhero of the Day spotlight? Or have the helper of the week be a Superhero? This could work for both preschools and younger elementary school kids. Such a darling idea!
Her first cape is yellow with the rainbow check inside. It has the cotton ball emblem with a red “W”. The second cape is red with the blue with rainbow dots inside. The emblem is the pow with a blue “W”.
I hope Miss W’s first grade class has a fun Superhero-filled year!

Some website things: You might have noticed my new button up on the top right of the page. This is to make it easier for those of you that want to subscribe to Plum Pear Apple’s RSS feed. Don’t use an RSS reader? You are missing out! It’s a great way of keeping track of all the different blogs you want to read, in one central place. Some popular ones are Googles Feed Reader (what I use) and Bloglines.
Also I have two giveaways going on right now. One is the MomDot.com giveaway that I talked about the other day (read that post here). You can enter to win a custom cape through MomDot by entering at this post. Make sure you do it quickly – as the contest ends on Monday August 4th!
The other giveaway is being run by my friend Erin on her website East Pecos. She has a friend, Michael, that recently became a teacher and is starting his first teaching position this fall. He’ll be teaching 2nd grade in Albuquerque, NM. Michael is a great guy and will be an awesome teacher for the kids – but since he is a first time teacher his classroom is bare and he wants to cheer it up for the kids! Erin had the idea to post his name and address on her blog and see if people wanted to donate posters, crayons, paper — basically anything that 7 year olds would like — to help him spruce up his classroom.
She then decided to go a step further and provide the incentive that everyone who sends Michael something gets entered in a drawing for a custom cape made by me! Isn’t she a terrific person! You can read more about Michael and his classroom, and about her contest for the Superhero cape at her website. I’m so happy that I am getting to outfit little Superheroes as well as help out big Superheroes!
I also added a new section to the sidebar to list any current giveaways and contests that are going on with my Superhero capes. I’ve had so many great people contact me about donating capes for their wonderful causes … I’m so lucky to be able to do something that can help other people, too!
xoxo, Erin
