Took at most an hour to make. It must have been well liked because the younger sister now has that same teacher and it is still hanging inn the classroom.

The parafin will protect the picture, and makes the soap last much longer, as you only take soap off one side when using it. You could probably find some Christmas pictures on old Christmas cards if you want to stick with a Christmas theme, or use flowers or animal pictures, whatever you like.

It goes on my tree every single year:). Gifts in a jar are great and just a card and homemade treats are welcome too!!

Put a sturdy rubber band around the jar. Slip cinnamon sticks or candy canes under the rubber band. Cover the rubber band with a pretty ribbon. Add a sprig of holly or other little Christmas decoration.

Once the item is totally covered, use brown shoe polish (canned) and rub with soft cloth over the taped item. Wipe off excess. This will have a leather look appearance and is easy and fun to do. RE: Homemade Christmas Gift Ideas for Pre-school Teacher Post By Connie (Guest Post) (11/24/2007) My daughter teaches 1st grade and we are making calendars for her student's parents for Christmas. we went to www.calendarhome.com/tyc and they have many many choices we selected a "year at a glance calendar" and added each child's picture on top and let the kids decorate the sides and bottom then my daughter laminated each one and its something the whole family can use all year when we got them all ready she said you know mom I wish someone would make one for me because I could use a good calendar that was durable . . .thought it was a quick simple idea you might like to try and the kids loved doing this project no real mess no real expense. RE: Homemade Christmas Gift Ideas for Pre-school Teacher Post by mom-from-missouri (23) | (11/23/2007) Profile | Contact Make a simple scrapbook. Let your child decorate some construction paper. Then add a few pictures that were taken at preschool. Insert the pages you created into plastic page protectors, and then into a 3 ring binder. Have your child decorate extra pages and add those also. The teacher can then take additional pictures throughout the rest of the year to add to the book.

You get a nice jar, and layer all the dry ingridents for a cake or cookies in the jar. You can decorate the jar later if you want. Attach the recipie to finish the baked product as one side of the gift tag.
