End of the Year Gifts for Your Students

This was so easy & my students LOVED them!

Here is a great gift to send home with your pre-school, TK, or kindergarten students at the end of the year.  I made Kool-Aid Play Dough for each child.

I tied these up with ribbon and sent them
home on the last day of school.

I had a supply of plastic baby food containers and they worked perfectly to store the play dough in.

If you don't have plastic containers, you can send it home in a Zip-Lock bag.  Just place the plastic bag into a cute cello bag (the kind you find in the candy making section), tie it all up with a cute ribbon, and tag it with a label that says it's NOT food.  It does smell really good, so you need to tag it with a warning.

Lemon scented play dough.  Smells heavenly.  

Here is the recipe:
2 1/2 cups of flour
1/2 cup of salt
2 pagages of unsweetened Kool-Aid powder (4 gram packages)
2 cups of boiling water
3 tablespoons of oil

Mix flour, salt, & Kool-Aid.
Add oil to the boiling water.
Mix with a spoon until cool enough to knead.
Knead until the color is all blended in.
Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.

So, what gifts do you give your kids at the end of the year?
