Many parents and children like to give the teacher and their friends an Easter gift before heading off over the Easter break. With food allergy and cultural belief policies being very strict in many schools, here are some great ideas for gifts that aren’t chocolate!
If you do want to give chocolate or other foods as a gift, ask the teacher if it would be ok to put all the items in a basket and leave a sign saying ‘Happy Easter from Frankie! Please take one.’. That way, parents can choose whether they think this is appropriate or not. Either way, they’ll appreciate the effort and thought you’ve gone to.
Gift suggestions:
Flowers
Bread dough painted eggs, hot cross buns or bunnies
Hand made and written cards
Home baked hot cross buns
Dyed egg shells
Plastic eggs with baby chickens etc inside
Mini nests or basket templates for children to collect eggs in
If you don’t have time to make something, head to your local bargain bin or discount shop. They have loads of inexpensive options. Also check out Pinterest for some great ideas for the crafy at heart. Stay cool and happy Easter!
