Each year I like to do a little something for my girls classmates. I normally make reindeer out of candy canes...fun and cheap but I'm looking for other ideas. Thanks!
In years past, I have taken the shatterproof glitter ornaments and written each child's name and the year in a coordinating glitter paint.
Make reindeer out of pencils.
I just sent my child to school today with little gifts for all her classmates! We made a nametag for each by tracing an angel cookie cutter and she printed each kids name. I then punched a hole in it and used ribbon to tie together a candycane and 3 crayons that my child picked for each bundle. I just purchased a large box of crayons (64) and split it up. And for the nametags we used paper plates. It was actually fun and easy to do and my daughter was so happy to do it. She came home saying that all her friends were so happy and grateful. Everything cost me less than $15
Good luck
How about make angels out of paperclips? http://craftyjournal.com/kids-angel-crafts-to-make/
My son got a mini Rubik's Cube with different Christmas scenes on each side one year. All the kids absolutely loved it.
I found them at Party City - package of 6 cubes for something like $3.99.
Reindeer cookies with pretzel antlers:
Use roll of gingerbread or peanut butter cookie dough.
Slice cookies.
Press in choc chips or m&m's for eyes. Use a red m&m for nose and pretzels or choc covered pretzels for antlers and bake.
Super easy and super cute!!
Google it for tons of pictures online.
Make something useful, or all that work and time and money spent on it will just get thrown away.
Like goody bags from birthday parties etc.
What about, get some red or green colored plastic forks or sauce squeeze bottles (like from a dollar store), and glue on googly eyes on it and a bell?
I did that one year. Kids use it for their home lunches, and the small condiment squeeze bottles can be used for their home lunch bags too, when/if they have a sauce or ketchup with their lunch etc.
Or just get small little plastic condiment containers, and glue on googly eyes on that, or other things?
Its useful. Like at home too or with their home lunches to put snacks in.
You cam make a card and make some crafty gift with her names also. That will be a special gift for them all.
