Whether you celebrate certain holidays or just the winter season, it's always fun to give a small gift to your students before the long Winter Break. I thought this would be the perfect excuse for a Linky Party I'm calling Ho-Ho-Holiday Gifts For Your Students!
My gift to my kiddos last year was *super* easy to make and was a huge hit! It was "Snowman Soup" and here's a recap of the how-to, originally posted on 12.17.2012 HERE.
This is seriously the easiest thing to assemble and all of the ingredients are super-cheap and easy to find this time of year, so it's a win all around!
Here's what you'll need:

- mini-marshmallows
- Hershey kisses (I chose the holiday ones to make them colorful)
- hot chocolate packs
- candy canes (they were out of mini and these are sort of medium-sized, so they still fit in the bag)
- clear baggies (I used clear Ziploc and they aren't as cute as the inspiration, but they did the job just fine)
- Snowman Soup tags
- 1 packet of hot chocolate
- 2 kisses (1 red & 1 green)
- 1 candy cane
- 10 mini-marshmallows
You can pick up the Snowman Soup FREE Tags on Google Docs. Enjoy!
If you would like to share your holiday gift to students either from this year or years past, please link up below. If you don't have a blog, feel free to leave your ideas in the comments. Thanks so much and happy sharing!

ReplyDeleteOoops, I put my blog button, not the picture in my link. (I really need to go to sleep!) I like to surprise my students with a few things leading up to Christmas break. This year we have an elf visiting us. I plan on having our elf Jingles "elf" our class. I will leave a basket of candy and the printable I have in my link in a bowl, then we will choose another class to "elf" back. I also like giving the kids a craft day on the last day of school. We make magic reindeer food, snowmen out of tea light battery operated candles, and snowmen candy bars. The students go through a few other craft centers and get a treat as well . That is my present to them!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful idea! I give my kids a $1.00 book that I bought from Scholastic and will put this with it so they can curl up with a good book and some hot chocolate! A perfect way to encourage reading over the break. I love that it is not strictly Christmasy".
ReplyDeleteLOVE THIS LINKY! I can't wait to get some more ideas for next year. This is the best time of year.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your post and all of your other posts! I'm a new blogger and just linked for the first time! (I hope it was successful and I hope I did it right!) I have a lot to learn in the world of blogging! My blog http://sparklesandsweettea.blogspot.com/ Thank you!!
