5 Handmade Teacher’s Day Gift Ideas

Teachers Day varies from different countries all over the world.

In Malaysia, Teachers Day is celebrated on May , 16 yearly at

school where students offer gifts to individual teachers as a

token of appreciation.

In Singapore, Teachers Day is celebrated on the first Friday of

the month September annually which falls on September 6 this

year, 2016.

However, World Teachers Day is celebrated October 5 yearly ,

worldwide.

Regardless of different dates, favorite teachers are warmly

received by their students with handmade gifts, store bought

gifts, Teachers Day cards with heartfelt words and not forgetting

flowers.

Although most school teachers are female with small

percentage of male teachers, teachers are the people whom we

appreciate for upbringing us with good moral education,

teaching us how to read, write and compose writings that had

aided us to excel well in our further studies and career.

In this article, I would be recommending some homemade gift

ideas which are inexpensive and needed your little ones

creativity to make beautiful gifts for their favorite teachers on

this special day.

Although some students would give teachers expensive gifts

which is better than your child, remember that it is the thoughts

that counts, not the pricetag of the gift.

#1-Handmade paper rose flowers

Paper Rose Flowers

You can help your child to make a stalk or a few paper flowers

with old gift wrappers, solid color papers or florescent bright

color papers. All you need are a few toothpicks, a bottle of

white glue and scissors plus patience.

#2- Personalized Mug

You can buy a blank white mug from the store, use permanent

marker pens to draw pictures or write Teachers Day poem or

quote on the mug to show your feelings towards your teacher.

In this way, your teacher will always remember you because

this mug the one and only one that is special. Nobody can copy

this mug!

#3- Handmade a Teachers Day card

One of the best way to show your appreciation  and gratitude

towards your favorite teacher is to make your own Teachers

Day card. Recycle trash material such as box cartons, old

wrapping paper, ribbons, buttons and art crafts material into a

unique card. I even used Chinese New Year Ang Pow Red

packet to cut out an apple for the main theme of Teachers Day

card. Every trash or old items are useful in handmade crafts.

My son gave this handmade card to his class teacher and she

was smiling ear to ear.

#4- Home baked cookies or cake

cashew Nut Cookies

You can request your child to help you out with sieving the

flour,cracking and beating the eggs, decorating the cookies or

icing the cake. Allow him to participate, not just you left alone to

make the cookies or cake in the kitchen. Get him to participate ,

then he will feel the joy and proud that the cookies or cake that

he gave his teacher was part of his job too. You may also opt

for store bought cookies or cake if you are lazy to bake it. Get

him to choose and decide.

#5- Handmade pencil holder

Pencil Holder

You can use tin cans, toilet paper roll, Pringles container or

plastic bottle and turn it into a pencil holder for Teachers Day

gift. You can see from this Jar pencil holder which I had made

with old jeans , excess fabric, ribbon and white glue to paste

them around the jar. You can use mayo jar or supplement pill

jar, depending on the size you desire.
