Handmade Holidays: For the Teachers
Categories: Etsy, Holiday
I was once an education major. I remember observing classrooms, watching teachers ultimately take a huge responsibility of about 20-30 kids on their shoulders, and getting little to no recognition for it.
I’m not a teacher nowadays, but I know teachers work very hard to provide great educational opportunities to our youth. I used to volunteer teach CCD to 1st graders. I can’t begin to explain how hard that was on me, but whenever a parent or coordinator said or showed their thanks, it meant the world to me.
If you’re a parent, I hope that you are telling your child/children’s teacher thank you. It goes a long way.
Of course, this doesn’t exclude a small gift of appreciation. I looked around Etsy to find some great finds for the teacher in your child’s life. Hope you like them!

Do you have any teachers to buy gifts for this year? Have you thought of getting them something handmade?
As a preschool teacher, I have to agree, even a verbal “thank you” or small note makes me feel like I am actually appreciated!

These are such adorable teacher’s gifts! At my elementary school we weren’t allowed to give teacher gifts for some reason, so I totally missed out on all the cute possibilities.
