christmas gift ideas for class

[raejm]

Every year we get our kids in our classroom a christmas gift. We try not to spend over 1.50 each because we have around 20 kids in our class. A couple years we got them a book, one time a set of watercolors, and one year we got those tablets that when you lift up the paper the writing disappears. I need a new idea for this year. Any suggestions?

If you have access to a good printer, here is an idea that would only cost you your time and the cost of paper -- and maybe something to bind pages with. I have not been to this website in a long time, but at www.mypicturestory.com, you can personalize a short story with information about a child, then print out the book. I did one for my son (just in black and white, not color becuase I don't have a color printer) and he liked it. There were 5 or 6 different stories to choose from. Like I said, I haven't been to the website in a long time, so I don't know if it is still active.
