Persoanlised Teacher Gifts
Say "Thank You" with Creativity
Handmade Gifts for Teacher
As the school year draws to a close, finding a meaningful way to show appreciation for a hardworking teacher or teaching assistant is top of many parents' to-do lists. At Crafty Monkey, we’ve been helping children of all ages,from pre-schoolers to secondary students, create beautiful, hand-painted "Thank You" gifts for years.
A piece of personalised pottery isn't just a gift; it’s a lasting keepsake that stands out from the usual boxes of chocolates and "Best Teacher" candles.
Crafty Monkey Gift Making Options
Personalised Gift from the Heart
Looking for something personal from your child? Our studio is packed with pottery "bisque" ready for a custom touch.
-
Classroom Essentials: Personalised mugs for the staff-room tea break, or plant pots for their desk.
-
Handprint Memories: For younger children, a handprint tile or plate is a sweet way to mark their time at preschool or a particular year group.
-
Bespoke Designs: Let your child’s imagination run wild with a design that reflects their teacher's personality or favourite subject!
We Can Paint The Gift
Our in house artists can hand-paint a bespoke gift for teacher that is truely personalised. These are popular as leaving presents to teachers but work equally as well as end of year gifts from the class!.
-
From the Whole Class: including all the children’s names for a sleek, polished finish.We have designs that incorporate all the children's names and a special message - this saves time as you don't need to get everyone's fingerprints but they make just as special teacher gifts.
-
From your Child: We also have a whole range of pottery such as mugs, coasters or trinket dishes which we can handpaint and personalise, making a thoughtful and unique teacher gift.
Whole Class Group Gift
Collective Gifts from the whole class are a cost-effective way for the entire class to contribute a small amount (often just a couple of pounds each) to create one meaningful present.
Why choose a group gift?
-
Budget-Friendly: Spreads the cost across the whole class.
-
Reduces Waste: Saves the teacher from receiving multiple similar items, giving them one standout piece they will actually use.
-
The Fingerprint Masterpiece: Get the children to add their colourful fingerprints to a platter, vase, plant pot or teapot, which we (or you) can turn into flowers, bees, balloons etc with hand-painted details.
Give a Gift of Relaxation
Teaching is rewarding but exhausting! After a long academic year, many teachers appreciate the chance to unwind.
A Crafty Monkey Gift Voucher or E-Gift Card is a thoughtful way to gift them a relaxing "me-time" experience. They can visit us over the summer holidays to enjoy any of the following activities:
-
Pottery Painting
-
Sip n Paint Nights
-
Event Nights
-
Pottery Classes
-
Or can be used for Baby Keepsake gifts
🕒 Don't Forget the Firing Turnaround!
To ensure your teacher’s gift is glazed, fired, and ready for the final day of school, please make sure all painting sessions or commissions are completed at least 14 days before the end of term.
