Gift ideas for the teacher on March 8
A child remembers a good teacher all his life. And if the preschool teacher of your children is just that, then he deserves the best gift for March 8th. All parents want the teacher to appreciate the gift and understand how dear it is for their pupils, so we suggest using some recommendations when choosing.
Turn on fantasy
Each kindergarten has its own rules for giving gifts to educators, and in some institutions this gesture is completely prohibited. However, on International Women's Day, every woman deserves a pleasant "presentation", especially if she is of great importance in the life and upbringing of a child. Most often, in kindergartens, the parent committee is involved in organizing congratulations.
When choosing a gift for a teacher, not only rely on his professional activities, but also take into account age, hobbies, preferences in the interior. If March 8 is already approaching, and the issue with the gift has not been resolved, we suggest considering a number of options.
A bouquet of fruits
The composition can be created from any exotic or traditional fruit. Such a gift will definitely not go to waste. Fruits are freshness, lightness, femininity, vitamins that are especially needed in spring. By the way, this is a quite affordable gift. It is often customary to give "presents" not only to educators, but also to the nanny, music worker and other employees working with the group, and if each of them is given a fruit bouquet, then the educators will be satisfied, and the parents will be able to afford such a gift financially.
Tea and coffee sets
Usually, parents are aware of which types of tea or coffee the teacher prefers, so it is customary to give this particular set. Ask the store to pack your tea or coffee in a pretty package. If no one from the parent committee knows which variety the recipient likes, then it is recommended to purchase classic quality coffee or elite traditional black tea.
Perhaps the teacher does not have a preference for a particular type of tea, but she loves the products of a certain company, then the choice becomes quite simple, because the stores often offer gift tea assortments from the manufacturer.
Original souvenirs
Recently, unusual "Presentations" made to order. This can be, for example, a mug with the inscription "This is the mug of the best teacher", the Order of the Best Mary Poppins of 2019, a gift comic diploma for the "Best teacher".
You can pick up some of the souvenirs cute jewelry box... Even if the teacher has a place to store her jewelry, she can use the new donated chest for haberdashery, gift cards and other trifles. Always the right gift - a photo frame.
It will be especially great if you can insert a joint photo of the whole group into it.
Choosing the right and useful
Usually a practical gift can be difficult to choose, since it is not known what exactly is missing in the house for the caregiver. You can carefully ask the kindergarten staff. Perhaps, in the conversation, the teacher herself mentioned that she had been planning to make some kind of purchase for a long time, but everyone “did not get their hands on it”.
If it is very difficult to make a choice, then it is quite acceptable to limit yourself to a certificate, for example, to a tableware store, a furniture atelier or an electronics department, depending on the total amount received from all parents. R
It is recommended to refuse the certificate to the clothing store, as the educator may misunderstand such a gesture.
Small household appliances
Usually women are happy with gifts such as a toaster, waffle maker, slow cooker, blender, mixer. It is no secret that educators of municipal kindergartens cannot boast of a prestigious salary, therefore they cannot always afford such things and, of course, will be glad to have a “present”.
Dishes
An interesting and unusual option, which the teacher definitely does not have, is a cute tea strainer. It can be a sieve in the form of a crown, a berry, or a man. Such a gift is not only useful, but also very pleasant. In the morning he will amuse the teacher and cheer up the whole day.
Another option is a tray or hot plate. This item is not used so often, but it is usually used when visiting guests, so the teacher will always remember his pupils and tell funny stories from work to his guests.
A set of knives, a tea set, a grill pan - all these useful gifts will remind a woman of her little graduates and their parents for a very long time.
Textile
Present the teacher with a soft, warm, but light blanket. Just choose more original options than are usually offered in stores. Let it be a blanket with a print or a fun lettering. Keep in mind, however, that some people prefer to go home without rugs, carpets, or other fluffy items that collect stubborn dust. Therefore, make sure that the educator does not treat overly pedantic women.
An even more practical gift is a set of towels. If you apply salt or foam for the bath, a set of candles and beautifully pack the whole set, then the woman will be pleasantly surprised by the gift. Another useful surprise is a set of tablecloths and napkins. Housewives often have the problem of harmonious table design. Towels and napkins rarely match the existing tablecloth, and in this case, the teacher will always be provided with an aesthetic design set.
An unusual and very useful gift is a compact eco-bag.It can be folded into a small pouch and turned into a berry or sunflower. A very convenient thing for "shopping".
However, this gift is more suitable for a young teacher.
Attention from children
The teacher will be very pleased if a memorable "present" from the little pupil becomes an addition to the gift. Of course, in kindergarten age, children do not know how to create works of art, but they are quite capable of drawing or a simple postcard, especially if mom and dad will help make it. If all children plan to prepare gifts, then it is recommended to prepare in advance some kind of beautiful album where you can attach postcards and drawings from all the kids.
By the way, you can also decorate the album yourself, involving young pupils in this.
Postcards
Try together with your child to make an interesting version of a festive curly postcard.
Prepare:
- colored cardboard;
- paper: white and colored;
- glue stick;
- scissors.
Fold a piece of cardboard in half. Make a postcard in some fancy shape. For example, the top can be trimmed like petals.
Together with the child, cut out the stem, leaves, flower, core from colored paper. Let the child choose the color of the details. Help the baby to stick all the elements correctly and evenly on the outside of the postcard.
Glue an even piece of white paper below and carefully write "From March 8" on it. To make the gift look more neat, this inscription can be printed on a printer using a beautiful font.
Write your wishes for the teacher on a small piece of white paper and paste the sheet on the inside of the card. Further, it can also be decorated with clippings of colored paper: flowers, butterflies, stars.
Another original version of a postcard that even a child can handle.
You will need:
- album sheet;
- paints (watercolor);
- scissors.
Fold the scrapbook paper into three equal parts. Cut out the number 8 from the outer part. Its edges can be made wavy for originality.
Next, have the child paint the card in their favorite colors from all sides and depict something springtime.
When the paint is dry, all the pieces are folded into a postcard so that the figure eight stays on top of the front side.
Do not forget to write a congratulation inside.
A hand-made craft will be very pleasant to the educator, and he will definitely keep it as a keepsake. The child will also be glad to have the opportunity to give something from himself. In addition, working on a postcard will teach him to be accurate, responsible, and develop creative abilities.
Drawings
In this case, the imagination can be limitless, but still every teacher wants to get a neat drawing. At this age, not all children can boast of their artistic talent, and therefore they cannot do without the help of their parents. You can, for example, choose a black and white drawing from the Internet with your baby, print it and ask the child to decorate it.
The theme of the picture can be not only the teacher, but also any spring motives: blossoming snowdrop, waking birds, smiling sun. If the theme of the drawing is precisely the kindergarten, then you can ask the child about some pleasant event that happened in the kindergarten and is associated with the teacher. Perhaps this is some favorite game of the kid or a story from a book that the teacher read to the children during quiet hours. Then you can find a similar image on the Internet and ask your child to decorate.
As a rule, the inscription on the picture must also be. If the parents have a beautiful handwriting, then it is better to write a congratulation yourself. Even if the child already knows how to write, he is not yet so confident in the skills of beautiful writing. Another option is to print a calligraphic inscription from the Internet and glue it to the drawing, or immediately print the image with a ready-made congratulatory signature.
