DIY teacher gifts from the class? Reader Q+A
Help! We are trying to come up with an end of year DIY teacher gift from the whole classroom for our kindergarten teacher. Something every kid can participate in but won't require too much work from the parents. I know Cool Mom Picks will have great ideas. Thank you so much! -Margaret BWe totally understand. As easy as it is to just donate some money towards a gift card, there are some teachers who are so special to us that we really want to do something that truly comes from the heart of each and every kid.
-Give each kid a page and include one photo of them, along with a quote, like their favorite memory of the school year. (This Blurb book from a preschool is beautifully done.)
-Ask kids to each illustrate a picture of the teacher and scan them into the book.
-Take a simple pic of each kid after school using a smartphone and the Photobooth app so each student gets four funny snapshots on each page.
-Invite the kids to all write on a topic that's special to the teacher. Here, see how a third grade class shared there take on topic, Love is... but imagine "Dance is..." for a dance teacher, or "Art is..." for an art teacher.
A play on the "family tree" idea, this custom printable for a teacher just needs the class's fingerprints to finish it up. You can choose to label the fingerprints or not, and even change the colors of the little print, say if you want to distinguish between the AM class and the PM class.
If you've got a little more time and a crafty parent to help out: Scan the kids' artwork onto sticker paper and adhere to a plain end table, storage box, or even a wooden chair, as seen in this project from Elsa Mora.
