Last Day of School Gift Ideas for Kids: Easy, inexpensive, and meaningful ideas for parents and teachers

As a teacher, I usually give my students a little gift on the last day of school.  With 26 students, I didn’t want to spend a lot of money. Yet, I wanted to give them something special to mark the occasion.  I spent all year learning and growing with them.  They filled my days with laughter and my heart with love.  Although I know many were excited for summer, I do miss them dearly when they were gone.

Me as a parent? I usually forget and do something little for my own kids on the day after the last day of school.  After seeing my friends pictures show up in my Facebook feed, I’m inspired.  Better late than never right?

If you are a teacher (or parent) looking for a little gift to give your kids on their last day of school, then here are some quick, easy, and not to expensive last day of school gift ideas for you!
