School is almost here, what a great time to show those teachers we are so blessed to have them in our kiddos lives. Gifts don't have to be elaborate or cost a lot, actually most schools don't want gifts for teachers due to maybe leading to favoritism and such. So with that homemade gifts are really best.
Here are a few ideas for some homemade beginning of the school year teacher gifts.
1. Potted plant
If you've started to have more plants, then you know they often have babies that you need to find homes for. What better home than in a classroom.
2. Homemade canned goods
If you have a garden and can your own produce this is a great homemade gift. Pickles are a favorite of ours to give. Or give a small basket of some of your freshly picked tomatoes, beans, squash etc.
3. Name plates
There are so many fun craft ideas out there for your teacher's name. I recently, saw one of scrabble letters glued to a scrabble plate that spelled the teacher's name.
4. Supplies
How often do teacher's donate their own money to extra supplies for their classroom. If you followed my last post on ways to save on school supplies (you can check it out here) then you already have some extra supplies on hand. Make a small package that includes: a folder, a notebook, glue bottle and a box of crayons to give to your child's teacher. This gift can be a double gift; helping out a student who many not be able to get supplies and the teacher who already supplies a lot of the materials in the classroom.
This is one I've mentioned before for Teacher Appreciation week, you can can view that post here with more ideas. But back to flowers, using the flowers from your new flower garden, you can pick a free bouquet to give to your child's teacher.
These are just a few ideas to get you started. What are some ways you show your child's teacher you are happy to have them as their teacher this year?
