The Small Touches Every Teacher Deserves

Your planner holds your whole year. Your classroom holds a huge part of your life for ten months straight. Both deserve to feel like they're actually yours, down to the smallest details.
That's exactly the gap our stickers and magnets are meant to fill.
Function Doesn't Have to Mean Boring
A lot of planning tools are built purely for function. They get the job done, but they don't feel like anything. And in a job where you're already giving so much of yourself, it's nice to have a few small things that actually reflect your personality, your humour, your classroom vibe, instead of just being another tool you use and forget.
The good news is, personalizing your planner or your classroom doesn't have to be a big project. It can be as small as a sticker.
What Makes Ours Different
We design all of our stickers and magnets ourselves, the same way we design our planner covers, with that same teacher-humour, teacher-life energy running through them. They're meant to be functional (and strong) first but fun always comes along with it. Think a sloth holding a mug asking "is it recess yet," a cassette tape declaring "in my teacher era," or a name tag that reads "Hi, my name is Teacher Tired." If you've felt it, we've probably drawn it.
They're also built to actually last. Our stickers are custom die cut on thick, durable vinyl that holds up to scratches, water, and sunlight, so they're not just for your planner. Stick one on a water bottle, a laptop, a car window, wherever you want a little personality to live, and it'll stay looking good. They're a favourite on laptops right alongside our tumblers, and they're even dishwasher safe, so a tumbler or mug with one of our stickers on it can go through the wash without peeling or fading.
Every single design, whether it's the sheets tucked into the back of our teacher planner, one of our standalone 2" and 3" stickers, or our 50 pack student sticker packs, is hand-drawn by Megan. She's the artistic mind behind all of it, every smiley face, every little doodle, every design that makes you laugh mid-planning session. Nothing is outsourced or pulled from a template library. If it's got that Two Planner Babes charm, Megan drew it herself. <3
Speaking of the 50 packs, we offer two versions built specifically for the classroom: an image variety pack, full of fun, colourful designs kids love getting on their work, and an affirmation pack, with positive, encouraging messages built right in. Both give you a stack of reward stickers on hand for the whole year without having to restock every month.
A Few Ideas You Might Not Have Thought Of
Stickers and magnets are small, but they're surprisingly flexible. Here are some of the ways teachers use theirs:
Planner personalization, marking key dates or adding a little joy to an otherwise plain week
Front page decoration, a few stickers on the front page of your planner is an easy way to make it feel like yours from the very first flip open, whether that's a "be kind" rainbow, a "made to teach" design, or a glitter "no drama lama"
Reward system, a small sticker as positive reinforcement goes a long way, and our 50 pack student sticker packs (image variety or affirmation) keep you stocked
Classroom reminders on the fly, our "Submit Attendance" design is a genuine teacher favourite, so popular it comes as both a sticker and a magnet in 2" and 3" sizes. Schools order it in bulk, and we're constantly restocking it
A little desk humour, our "Hello Gorgeous" magnet or our calming fabric smiley face are the kind of small things that make you smile every time you glance at your desk
Gift toppers, a sticker on a card or small gift for a colleague adds a personal touch without any extra effort, our "TEACH" design with sign language hand signals is a favourite for this
Fridge or desk magnets at home, holding up your kid's artwork, grocery lists, or just adding a little personality to your own space
Trading and gifting with teacher friends, stickers are an easy, low-cost way to show appreciation for a colleague who helped you out, a "don't worry bee happy" sticker tucked into a thank-you card always lands well
Vinyl personalization, available as an add-on, so you can customize your planner, notebook, or gradebook cover with your own name
However you use them, the idea is the same: small, low-effort ways to make the tools and spaces you use every day feel a little more like you.
What Teachers Tell Us After They Start Using Them
Their planner feels less like a chore and more like something they actually enjoy opening
Their desk and classroom feel a little more personal, down to the small details
They have an easy, ready-made way to show appreciation to colleagues without extra planning
They get a small dose of joy from something as simple as peeling off a sticker
A Good Fit For Any Teacher
Whether you're the type who wants your planner fully decorated every week or you just want one or two stickers to mark the big stuff, there's a way to use these that fits your style.
In Short
You don't need a big project to make your planner or your classroom feel like yours. Sometimes it really is as small as a sticker or a magnet, placed exactly where you need it.
