Get the entire class involved in giving the teacher a gift by asking each student, with the help of his parents, to bring in an item that relates to a particular theme. Choose a theme based on the teacher's personality. For example, if the teacher is a sports fan, choose a sports theme or if the teacher loves chocolate, choose a chocolate theme. Fill a basket with all of the items and have the students present it to the teacher as a class.
Kindergarten teachers must be alert first thing in the morning to handle all of the youthful energy of their students. For many teachers, this task requires copious amounts of coffee throughout the school day. If you child's kindergarten teacher is a coffee lover, show your appreciation with a personalized coffee mug paired with a gift card to a nearby coffee shop. Online print shops allow you to create custom coffee mugs with photos and text. Include a photo of the teacher and your child and text such as "Mr. Smith is the best!"
Though their main task is teaching, most teachers never stop learning as well. Provide your child's kindergarten teacher with the opportunity to learn at her own leisure by giving her a book or a gift voucher to a bookshop. Buy her a book on a subject that you think she'll find interesting or a book that you have read and can recommend. If you aren't sure of her taste in books, a gift voucher will allow her to enjoy the book of her choice.
The most meaningful gifts a kindergarten teacher can receive are those that the student helped create himself. Kindergartners, with the help of their parents, can bake tasty treats for their teacher to enjoy. Ask your child to help you bake something delicious for his teacher and see if he has any suggestions of what to bake. Read the recipe aloud and ask him to help combine ingredients and stir. Create a recipe card to go with the gift by writing the instructions out on a piece of card stock and having your child draw a picture of the baked good underneath the recipe.
