EASY Christmas Gifts for the Classroom
Once December hits, Christmas gifts and crafts are on every teacher’s mind! Teachers are often looking for the “perfect” Christmas gift for parents BUT…..how do we do it without spending a fortune and sacrificing valuable curriculum time?!?!?! Here are a few ideas that I have collected from other fabulous bloggers to help get you going on these easy Christmas gifts to give!
I love this step by step guide from Sarah J Creations about a Puzzle Piece Picture Frame. This is something from start to finish that the children are in charge of and turn out super cute! Add a cute holiday picture from class and the frame is ready to go!
This post from Stories by Storie is filled with different ideas you can use in the classroom for gifts. Some gifts have multiple steps and others can be completed in 30 minutes! From paper crafts to cute directed drawings from those budding artists you will surely find something great!
Primary Paradise has a great post about 5 Easy Christmas Crafts for Students for $1 or Less! These will bring out your child’s creative side as they color their way to fabulous frames and ornaments. Bought in bulk, these are easy on the wallet too!
If you are looking for something a little more involved and the CUTEST idea ever, Going Strong in 2nd Grade has an awesome snowman that will last past Christmas! I received one of these from my child’s teacher and I will forever treasure it! Tip: To personalize it, my daughter’s teacher made the snowman the size of her! I will forever remember my little girl at age 2!
Or……if you want to get your hands a little dirty and incorporate some measuring skills, Teaching in the Tongass has a great FREE Cookie Jar Kit your students will LOVE making, as well as eating!
And one of my favorites that I have just found! Melting cups into ornaments! One of the most cheap, fun and easiest ideas! Click on the picture for directions on this activity!
I hope this post has helped give you more ideas for easy Christmas gifts to use in your classroom! Whichever you choose, your parents will love that look on their child’s face when they happily hand over the gift they created. There’s nothing more magical! If you use any of these or want to comment with what you are working on this year, I’d love to hear it! Comment below!
Merry Christmas!
