- Make your school secretary a Popsicle-stick pencil holder. To make this project, you will need a Crystal Light drink container, 22 to 25 Popsicle sticks, paint and hot glue. Wash the Crystal Light container and remove the label. Glue a Popsicle stick vertically on the container. Glue a second Popsicle stick to the container next to the first stick. Repeat until the whole container is covered by the Popsicle sticks. Paint the container. You can paint the container one color or you can paint designs.
- A paint-your-own-pottery studio will allow you to paint your own crafts and gifts. A nice handmade gift for a school secretary is a hand-painted coffee mug. Take your child to a paint-your-own-pottery studio and let her create a decorative secretary mug. Stick to school-themed designs such as rulers, school buses and children. If the school secretary at your child's school doesn't drink coffee, you can opt to have your child paint a decorative plate instead.
- Show your child's school secretary just how sweet she is by giving her handmade chocolates. You and your child can create school-themed chocolate candies using various chocolate molds. Look for shapes such as apples, rulers, school buses and school houses. You and your child can also make handmade truffles and chocolate-covered nuts and raisins. Wrap these handmade chocolates in a decorative cellophane bag and have your child give them to his school secretary. She will really think this gift is sweet.
