Teachers are some of the most unselfish people you ever meet. Whatever you gift them, they will likely fashion it for their classroom. It’s great if they have a classroom wishlist that you can purchase from. Here are some ideas for elementary school teacher gifts:
Classrooms today look a little different than they did when I was a kid. Teachers offer alternative seating to help kids stay focused.
This wobble seat was a highly requested item that helps with sensory input and is great for kids with ADHD and ASD.
These work well for elementary-aged classrooms.
Along the same lines as alternate seating, a balance ball is a great option.
Your teacher will love to be able to offer this to kids with high energy levels. It has 5 legs to help keep the kiddos sturdy. This seat will also help your kids stay focused and concentrate by helping get the wiggles out.
This type of seating will help ensure healthy posture which will increase blood flow to the brain.
Teachers will love having a new item in the classroom that kids can spend time with that counts as STEM activity.
EMIDO building blocks easily snap together and are designed to withstand rough play. Your child can explore their wild imagination with this high-quality innovative building set.

What a great science lesson! Kids will love watching the progress on a daily basis.
Design your own terrarium maze & grow plants in unique & interesting ways while learning about phototropism! Plus, you can experiment with different designs by just planting again.

Your creative teacher can have some fun with these!
Kids can perform science experiments, learn about magnets, the forces of attraction, and real-world uses for magnets.
Use these for sensory bins with rice and alphabet letters or in the lab for separation techniques – like mixing sulfur and iron.
Many of the teachers I’ve known have requested a new electronic pencil sharpener. This is a great one!
