As we soaked in all of the craziness of drop off on the first day of school, I noticed something. There were quite a few kids bringing first day of school gifts to their new teachers. Is this a new tradition I had no idea of?
Is my kid now doomed because she didn’t bribe her teacher right off the bat?!
I think teacher appreciation gifts are the most appreciated when they don’t expect it. Or that’s what I’m telling myself so I don’t feel like I started the year off with a “mom fail”.
I’ll be sending Bean to school with one of these free teacher gift printable “If you give a TEACHER a cookie…” on a random Monday when her teacher least expects it. 😉
They’re quick and easy to put together, you can pair them with the most delicious soft chocolate chip cookies I have ever tasted (recipe coming soon) and an ice cold glass of milk.
Now without further ado…
DIY Free Teacher Gift Printable: If You Give a Teacher a Cookie…
SUPPLIES
- Wide mouth mason jar
- “If you give a teacher a cookie…” free printable
- White card stock
- Baker’s twine
- Hole punch/scissors
- Cookies
STEP ONE
Print out your tag using my “If you give a teacher a cookie…” free printable on white card stock.
If you have multiple teachers to give a gift to, this is perfect because there are 4 tags per page. This download is for personal use and subscribers only. Thanks!
Cut the tag out with scissors and punch a hole in the top.
STEP TWO
Attach the tag to the jar with some cute baker’s twine. I cut out approximately one yard so that I could wrap it around the jar a few times.
STEP THREE
Fill the jar with your favorite delicious cookies, seal the jar by twisting on the lid, and you’re done!
As you might be able to predict, this is a take on the classic book, “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie…”. And you know how that sentence ends… they’re gonna want a glass of milk!
We’re big on milk in our family (I even wrote a blog post in my early days of blogging confessing my love of milk, no lie).
Not only do we love the taste, we love how milk is an easy way to get natural, high-quality protein plus other nutrients per 8 ounce serving into our kiddo’s diet.
Plus, dairy milk protein is a complete protein. Most plant proteins are incomplete, which means they’re missing some of the amino acids your body needs.
We had a few leftover cookies from our teacher gifts that we couldn’t help but dip in some ice cold milk that I picked up during my last grocery store run 😉
If you’re also a big fan of milk, chocolate chip cookies, and easy mason jar gifts, look no further for your next teacher appreciation gift!

What kind of cookies would you fill your jar with? Are you as obsessed with milk as I am? 😉 Let’s chat about it in the comments below.
I’m glad that I’m not the only one who didn’t bring a teacher gift on the first day so yes, I would say it’s totally better to do it when they’re not expecting it! This is such an adorable and easy idea!
Thanks Christina!
Oh I love this. I agree — send it in on a random Wednesday! When you know they need to know they’re thought of and appreciated.
Yep, definitely going to send it on a random day 😉
This is such a nice idea! Teachers are so undervalued. I gesture of appreciation here and again would probably make them feel more validated and appreciated for all the hard work they do. Thanks for sharing!
I totally agree, teachers have such a hard job that goes unappreciated most days!
Love this post. So cute. Must share!
Thanks Maggie!
This is so cute! It would be perfect for my son’s preschool teachers.
Thanks Kim!

Thanks Marlynn! I like to show my appreciation when I can 🙂
This has got to be the cutest label ever! You are totally making me get the urge to buy colored ink for my printer! #client
Haha glad to inspire you to refill your printer ink 😉
So cute! My kids always love giving their teachers something special. Great idea!
Thanks April!
This is darling! I’m sharing this with my sister-in-law. It would be perfect for her kiddos to take to school as a gift.
It’s especially great if your kid has multiple teachers, or if you have multiple kids with one teacher 😉
This is such a cute gift idea! I love that it’s super simple to do too!
It’s so easy, you could even fill it with mini Oreo’s and call it a day!
This is SO Cute. Saving this for later!!
Thanks Madi!
