Teacher Appreciation Gift Ideas and Printables

In case you didn’t know, it is teacher appreciation week.  Teachers spend nine months with our children in their care.  Now is the time to let all the teachers in your life know how much they are appreciated.

In the Pinterest era it is easy to think that we need to do a lot for teachers, but sometimes the best gift of all is a heartfelt letter.  Really, just sit down tonight and write your child’s teacher a note thanking them for the hours they have devoted to teaching.  Some key words to think about adding to your letter: hard work, dedication, energy, grateful, patience, effort, progress.

If you are looking for a few homemade Teacher Appreciation gift ideas, we have completed several over the years that you may enjoy giving yourself.

A Target Gift Card can be used on just about anything.  The “Thank you for keeping my learning on Target” printable works well with a Target gift card.

If you have a lot of teachers or staff to say thank you to, consider giving them a lottery ticket gift.

A bag of candy (like our Sour Patch Kids Teacher Gift) can be a great sweet treat to get a teacher through the day.

I love giving movies as a gift.  Creatively wrapped movie tickets using all of your child’s school information is a great touch!

This Teachers Help Children Grow  finger paint flower pot is a great personalized gift.

Snapping a class photo and putting it into a homemade Crayon photo frame is another thoughtful present.

This teacher appreciation wish necklace is a great present to give to a teacher from the entire class. Each student can make a wish for the teacher during circle time.

A pandora style bracelet is a great piece of jewelry that will always remind the teacher of your child.
