Are you looking for the perfect gift or ornament for your kindergarten students to give their parents? Here is a roundup of projects teachers from the Simply Kinder Teacher Group have done with their students.

So many great holiday projects and gifts were shared in the Simply Kinder Teacher Facebook Group that I wanted to do a roundup of all of the great ideas!

Why do we do all these? So our students can experience giving and be proud of what they make (not to mention the countless thinking processes that happen during these projects!) Also because of notes like these that keep us teachers doing our jobs year after year!

There you have it.  What types of gifts do you make with your kindergarten students?  Please share your ideas below!
