Saying goodbye to kindergarten not only marks an important milestone in the life of your child (and you), but also for the teachers who have accompanied your child on their journey. Their loving care and patience deserve sincere appreciation!

If you are looking for the perfect farewell gift, then you have come to the right place! We have put together small and large gift ideas for you. You can make them yourself, decorate them or simply buy them ready-made. From heartfelt gestures to practical gifts. Let's go!

Voucher Gifts

We're starting with a classic gift idea: the voucher! It's practical and there's sure to be something suitable for every teacher. Instead of just giving it away, you can hide a voucher in a personalized gift box or present it in a mini candy cone.

• Wellness voucher
• Restaurant voucher
• Café voucher
• Ice cream parlor voucher

Group gifts

Another classic farewell gift. No wonder, they are extremely flexible. Depending on how many parents want to take part with their children, they can be made smaller or larger.

• Gift basket with treats
• Small tree or plant with laminated photos of the children
• A painted jute bag from the children
• Survival bag (filled with chocolate, coffee, relaxing bath, etc.)
• A friends book with entries from all children

Useful gifts for kindergarten

If a lot of parents get together, the gift can of course be a little bigger. It is especially nice if the future kindergarten children also get something out of it. For example, with gifts for the outside area of ​​the kindergarten.

• Sand toys (filled with sweets for the teachers)
• Raised bed (with flower seeds)
• Insect hotel
• Birdhouse (beautifully painted with the text "We have flown away")
• Wooden bench for the garden (with engraved names)
• A self-designed calendar by the children

Delicious gifts

Everyday life as a kindergarten teacher undoubtedly requires strong nerves to cope with the noise of the children and to meet their diverse needs. So comfort food in the form of sweets or champagne is a good idea for a farewell gift at the end of kindergarten. Both can be wonderfully personalized and can be provided with messages or things for which you are grateful.

• Homemade items such as muesli, biscuits or jam
• Energy Balls
• Chocolate or pralines (presented with a personalized card)
• Mini sugar cones filled with Smarties or chocolates
• Homemade cake
• Gift box with treats
• Pretty jars that can be filled with colorful contents such as chocolate chips, gummy bears, candies, etc.
• Nerve food (such as nuts, dried fruit, cereal bars)

Small gift ideas

Maybe your child is leaving kindergarten during the year and you need a gift without the involvement of other parents? Or maybe you just want to give a very personal gift? There are of course a variety of options here too.

• Seed balls
• Coffee To Go cup (filled with coffee beans)
• Forget-me-not seed bags
• Painted flower pot (with the text "Thank you for helping us grow")
• bouquet
• Dried flower bouquet (which lasts longer)
• Bath salts for relaxation
• A pretty glass with lots of thanks (small colorful notes with lovely thank you messages)
• Keyrings (nicely bought or homemade)

And that's always a good idea

And then you have to package everything nicely and add a personal dedication. Personalized stationery is particularly suitable for this, as it gives your farewell gift a personal touch.

• Personalized cards
• Personal letters
• Gift tags for the gifts
• Personalized gift boxes (for presenting sweets or vouchers)

And then have fun handing out the presents!

Ultimately, the decisive factor in a farewell gift for kindergarten is the message you convey. After all, the teacher is devoted to your child with love and often becomes an important person for them. It is nice to express your appreciation with a grateful gesture, which is often neglected in everyday life.
