How to Make Homemade Christmas Gifts for Kindergarten Teachers

Homemade Christmas gifts give a lasting memory for your child's teacher.

Making a Christmas gift for your child's kindergarten teacher will give you bonding time with your child. Teachers will also enjoy a thoughtful, homemade gift from your child. Remember to add a special touch by observing your child's classroom and making something that the teacher can use long after Christmas that fits her teaching style or classroom theme. Bathroom passes, desk accessories and clipboards are all items that a teacher of any grade level can use.

Things You'll Need

• Foam board
• Scissors
• Hole punch
• Markers
• Ribbon
• Hair spray

Instructions

1. Cut the foam board into two large rectangles. Punch a hole in the top of both rectangles to allow room for a tie.

2. Allow your child to decorate each rectangle. When your child has completed the artwork write "BOY" on one rectangle and "GIRL" on the other.

3. Tie a loop of ribbon through the hole in the top of the rectangles. The bathroom passes are complete once you spray a thin layer of hair spray to seal the colors.

4. Put the passes in a gift bag with a bag of Christmas coffee, mug and stir sticks for your student's teacher.
