Last Minute Teacher Holiday Gifts

We were just on the phone brainstorming teacher gifts and thought to share some quick ideas.

• Homemade bookmark and bookstore gift certificate

• Holiday Cookies

• Homemade cranberry bread

• Satsuma tangerines or other special fruit

For decorating cards, gift tags, wrapping paper or bookmarks, we cut sponges or potatoes into shapes and the kids dip them into paint then stamp the paper. Office product stores carry laminating pages to use for the bookmarks, or for small items like gift tags we use packing tape and a hole punch to laminate and attach to presents. We grab basic paints at the stationary or toy store. It’s amazing what can be done with tissue paper and some ribbon!
