Simple Parent Holiday Gift from Students

Are you looking for a quick and easy gift for your students’ parents? I have spent countless hours on parent gifts in the past until I decided that simple gifts were not only easier for me, but were so appreciated by my students’ parents! No more cleaning glitter or gluing my fingers together! Here’s a simple parent holiday gift that your students will love making.

Print and cut these holiday banners. Attach them to your bulletin board or a wall to create a backdrop. Then take photos of your students and print them. Easy peasy parent holiday gifts!

Your students can pose in front of general winter banners like the ones above or specific holiday displays like the one below.

You can also provide props for your students to hold. There are some included with these bulletin board kits!

Place the photos inside a card that your students have made or grab these frames from Michael’s or these frames from Amazon for $1 each! These cardboard photo holders are a great option as well.

Ta da! So simple and always a hit with parents. You could also use this as a cute classroom door kit. Display the letters and use the prop pieces to write each student’s name or add their picture!
