Guest Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Hello, Wondering if anyone can give me any ideas of gifts for the children that are leaving us and transitioning to school in September. At the nursery we would like to give them a keepsake but are on a budget too. Any ideas would be grateful. Thank you
mrsbat Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 We always give books - normally from the book people online and they do lovely sets of books normally for £9.99 for 10 books. We just write in the inside to the child 1
diesel10 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 We have done design your own t shirts using fabric crayons for the past few years.
LKeyteach Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I've bought cheap bowls (wilco) and porcelain marker pens, write child's name big and bright and all staff sign it. Takes a bit of time to get through all children but parents feedback has been great.
Fredbear Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Book people books from us too. As well a framed graduation photo.
stephaniem22 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 We have gone with the 'getting ready for big school' theme of a little net bag tied with ribbon with a large gift tag with a photo and a few personal words on. Inside the gift bag we put a special pencil, a little notebook, a laminated number line, a little pot of homemade playdough, a magic insect to have adventures with and a little tiny pack of magic bubbles to explore with! Cheap, cheerful, thoughtful but with a learning theme, after all we are preparing them for the next stage of their journey!
finleysmaid Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 we have teddy bears with our uniform on......had one of my oldies in the other day (now 12) "i've still got my teddy "he said :wub: 3
Panders Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 In the main, we use white T shirts, the children decorate the front however they wish and on the back all the staff write a little message to each child and I iron on a transfer with our setting name and Leavers 2015, or whatever.

Guest pamdulay Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Hi all I am new to this forum. Have been nosing around. These ideas for transition gifts are beautiful ! what a lovely way to say goodbye and hello !
finleysmaid Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Love it!!!! Where from ........ I'll have to search my inbox!! i ordered them from a print company ...had to buy 100 to make them a good deal but they get the same thing every year sp there's always a bit of stock (and they are very small so don't take up much room!)
