Teacher Appreciation Week is coming up! To help show your appreciation for your favorite educators, here are some teacher appreciation gift ideas. Plus several free Thank You Teacher Printables!

Teacher Appreciation Rainbow Treat Printables

I am in AWE of our teachers. They are hard working, caring, creative individuals who are committed to giving our kids the best elementary school experience possible. They give so much of themselves, that I feel like one week of celebrating them is the very least we can do.

This year, I’m delighted to share a quick Teacher Appreciation gift idea, along with a free printable.

Teacher Gift Idea: Treat Tins

Each day during Teacher Appreciation Week, we have a different theme to help celebrate our teachers. Today, for instance, is Treat Tuesday. Parents could bring in any sort of favorite snacks, drinks, gift cards to the teacher’s favorite shop, items related to their teacher’s favorite hobby, and so on.

I put together these super quick, cute, and delicious Teacher Treat Tins full of Blue Diamond Almonds to bring to each of my kids’ teachers for Treat Tuesday.

You don’t have to spend a lot of money or take several hours out of your day to acknowledge and thank your kids’ teachers in some way. I’ve been told by several teachers that sometimes their favorite teacher treats are simple, adorable cards made by their students. But let’s face it: a teacher’s day is long and challenging, and they need tasty, healthy snacks full of protein to help keep them going.

Thank you teacher printables

Teacher Appreciation Rainbow Treat Printables

I topped off each Teacher Treat Tin with a little round thank you tag. Then I had each child write a personal note on a blank tag to include with it.

There are four designs, and a couple of them can be used for End-of-the-Year Teacher Gifts as well.

You can download the free Thank You Teacher Printables now!

And, I kept the wording generic, so truly: ANYONE can use the bulk of these thank you gift tag printables. They can top off gifts for your friend, for Mother’s Day coming up, for Father’s Day, and so on.

Each printable comes with 12 circle tags, approximately 1.5″ round in diameter each. There are three of each of the four different designs included on the digital PDF sheet you will get with the free printable.

    I like that you make showing appreciation so easy with these printables! My daughter is too little to have teachers yet, but my husband is a special ed teacher, and his family and mine are made up of educators, so I understand what an important week this is. I have the utmost gratitude for the people who shape the minds of our young people!

    You are such a super mom! I have been terrible about keeping up with Teacher Appreciation week! At least I helped make sure our Parent Teacher Organization group gave each teacher lunch gift cards this year! :)

    So cute, and I’m sure much appreciated. Almonds are my go-to snack. I eat so very very many almonds. The Trader Joe’s sesame honey ones are amazing.

    1. Marlynn Jayme Schotland says:

      Me too. I think I eat almonds almost every day, now that I think about it. SO good!

  9. Jenni says:

    Oh goodness these are adorable! I’m going to have to bookmark these ideas/printables for when my little hits school next year. My sister is a teacher and stuff like this makes her whole year.

    1. Marlynn Jayme Schotland says:

      Thank you, Jenni! Please tell your sister THANK YOU for all she does! :)

  10. Jane says:
