It’s almost back-to-school time! My favorite part of this time of the year is the anticipation of getting to meet my new students! I like to leave a little gift on each student’s desk to make them feel welcomed and to help get them excited for our great year together! I give my students their gift on our back-to-school/meet the teacher night before the first day of school, but any of these three gifts for students would work great for a first day gift too!

I know that time is precious, so preparing these gifts is simple! All you need to do is pick which of the following three back-to-school gifts you want to give your students, print and cut the corresponding gift tag download, attach the gift to the gift tag with Washi Tape, and sign your name next to the heart!

Who doesn’t love superheroes? Plus, kids love getting special pencils and these Superhero Pencils with Capes are really cool. Regardless of age or gender, these “We are going to have a SUPER year together!” gifts are sure to be a hit as you begin your year!
I love these Finger Eye Rings! They are always a big hit with kids and make great reading pointers too. Let your students know how excited you are to have them in your class with this fun, “EYE am so excited that you are in my class this year!” gift.
Each child who walks into my classroom is a treasure. I feel so blessed to have the privilege of getting to know my students and invest in their lives over the course of the year. I think that this “I’m so glad that I get to BEE your teacher this year!” gift is a great way to show your students how glad you are that have been placed in your class. To attach the Bumble Bee finger puppets to the gift tag, I just made a tape loop and put it on the back of the Bumble Bee Finger Puppet's wings.
While I’m making the gifts at the beginning of the year, I always make a couple of extras and store them so that I have them ready to give any new students that are added to our class throughout the year.
I hope that you have a great start to your school year and enjoy using these back-to-school gifts when you meet and welcome your students!
