Everyone has that one teacher that we’ll never forget, who inspired us in some way and helped us grow as a person. For me, that was my high school art teacher, who encouraged me to experiment with all kinds of art and to push my creative boundaries. I’ll admit, I am terrible at drawing and art in general, but her encouragement definitely inspired me to push myself creatively and for that, I thank her deeply. Being a teacher is certainly an under appreciated field, given how extremely important their jobs are, so as this school year ends, let your little ones show their teacher just how special they are with this collection of incredibly easy teacher appreciation gifts.
From classroom-inspired gifts to one-of-a-kind crafts that your kids can personalize, there’s a perfect gift for any and every teacher. I’ve made sure to include gifts in a jar and other budget-friendly crafts that go a long way, so that your kids can shower their teachers in awesome gifts without breaking the bank. Your kids will love showing their teacher they love them with this list of fantastic end of year ways to say thank you.

So many great ideas. My kids love helping decide what sort of special gift we’ll make and give to their teachers at the end of the school year. Last year, they chose a lovely verse which I then embroidered on a pillow for their teachers. The tears were pleased… and may have even shed a happy tear (which is what I was hoping for). http://www.sameliasmum.com/2016/01/teacher-appreciation-pillows.html
This is the perfect kind of post for this time of year. Teachers do so much for us and deserve such thoughtfulness as the summer approaches. And what better idea than a DIY project? Nothing says you appreciate all the hard work that teachers have done for you more than to take the time and effort to make something special and unique in return. Buying some random present off the gift shop shelf will never have the same impact!
