What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD

Online you can find ENDLESS Elf on the Shelf Accessories, Books, Games and Toys.

These End of Year Gifts for Students are so cute and a great way to celebrate the beginning of summer break for your kiddos! Perfect gift ideas for end of the year gifts from teachers or end of the year gifts from students.

As summer break from school approaches, many parents start to think about what gifts they can give their children’s teachers. They want something to show their appreciation for a year of hard work on the teacher’s part. But…

What about teachers? Most of them want to gift the children in their classes with something fun to remember them by. That’s why we are talking about gifts you can give to your students at the end of the year…just as they head into summer break.

End of Year Gifts for Students Ideas

Some teachers may decide to give their students thoughtful gifts they can use during the summer that are fun and functional.

Maybe you want to give each child a sand bucket filled with some of their memories from the school year? “This year was buckets of fun!” (See Pocket of Preschool)

Another idea is a pencil pouch with a few supplies they can use to draw or write during their break from school.

How about a water bottle survival kit for students filled with punny ideas. (See Lessons with Laughter)

Pair Dollar Store sunglasses with a fun “have a bright summer!” gift tag. (See True Life, I’m a Teacher)

Print a funny award for each student in the class and deliver it with a pack of M&Ms or a candy bar.

A small bag of summer fun can be made with a couple sticks of sidewalk chalk and a bottle of bubbles. (See The Printable Princess)

A cute notebook with an inspirational quote on the front may bring a smile to your students’ faces when they aren’t seeing you every day.

“I had a ball this year” makes a cute message for beach ball end of the year gift idea. (See A Kindergarten Teacher Life)

DIY End of Year Student Gift: See You Later Alligator Hand Clappers

Sometimes, it’s the handmade gifts that mean the most to students. It helps when they are something they can play with – and make noise with. These See You Later Alligator Hand Clappers offer both entertainment and sound. Your students are sure to love them!

These end of year gifts for students are easy to make and don’t require much money or effort.

See You Later Alligator Hand Clapper Instructions

Print and cut the “See You Later Alligator” tags.

Use baker’s twine, ribbon, or string to attach the tags to the hand clappers.

Voila! A cute little gift for students to take home from an End of the Year classroom party! Of course, you can always pair this DIY gift with other ideas from our list above. Your students are sure to love whatever gifts you send home with them on that last day of school.
