Christmas Crafts for the Classroom

One of my FAVORITE parts of Christmas in the classroom is creating crafts and parent gifts.

The last few years I’ve sort of perfected and adopted my official parent gift, and I’ve found that parents generally love them.  They provide beautiful keepsakes that are easy to store and protect from year to year.  I’m going to walk you through the step-by-step process for creating these gifts and show you exactly what materials you’ll need!  I will be using my Amazon affiliate links for most of these materials!

My first go-to craft is these handprint snowflake canvases.

Here’s what you’ll need to purchase in order to make these precious gifts!
