Teacher Appreciation Gift Ideas To Make or Buy
Teacher Appreciation Week is just around the corner. Are your kids ready to show their appreciation? A handmade gift will always bring a smile to a Teacher’s face. Let the kids be creative and make a meaningful gift at the same time! We have gathered a few projects to start you on the way!
Happy Thank-you Notes
If you have some spare cards or stationery, then you’re already halfway there! Grab some used coloring books, photos or printouts from the internet, then add some glue and, voila! Instant Teacher Appreciation!
We have an easy-to-follow blog post on how to make thoughtful caring notes for your teacher.
Or turn it into a classroom surprise – from all of the students! Pick a fun theme for the whole class so everyone can present their cards together as one big gift!
Make An Appreciation Video
The video above is an example of a 6th grader’s appreciation video to his music teacher!
Do you have a budding film maker? Making your own short appreciation video is super easy and can be a lot of fun too! All you need is a smartphone and some basic knowledge of video editing.
Don’t know how to tackle it alone? Get your whole class involved in the video for something extra special!
Make A Whole School Applause Parade
Because our teachers are such inspirational superstars, they should be made to feel like superstars. At the start of the school day for Teacher Appreciation Week, have all the students line the halls of the school to applaud and cheer as the teachers come in. Maybe add some balloons and make some banners to make it more festive!
Flower Bouquets, A Welcome Gift
Whether you give the gift of real flowers, paper mache flowers, or silk flowers you can personalize them with a decorative wrap. Find the easy instructions in our Mother’s Day blog post.
Or from the classroom: Have everyone bring in a flower and make a large bouquet. Sunflowers are a great way to say, “You bring sunshine into my life!”
