End of the Year with Oriental Trading

I can't believe we only have a few weeks left of school.  This year has flown by!  I am gearing up for the end of the year with some fun end of the year gifts!  My gifts usually consist of some chalk and I call it good but thanks to Oriental Trading they have so many fun little gifts to give to your kiddos.
Check out everything I'm giving out below!

I started with finding these bright colored tote bags.  They are a pretty big size and I am putting all their goodies inside.

These are the cutest mini beach balls.  They came in a pack of 25!  They are 20% off right now too!  These would also be perfect for Beach Day or Hawaiian day at your school! 

These would be perfect for Beach Day too!  These are kid sized sunglasses with cute fish printed on them.  I am thinking about giving these to my kiddos early to wear on our trip to the zoo!

No end of the year gift is complete without some tropical bubbles.  These are the perfect size and come in these four bottle colors!

I bought this bracelet making kit also.  I plan on having each kiddos in my room pick a friend and make a bracelet for them.  This way each little one has a present from a friend to remind them about their fun year in kindergarten!

Oriental Trading- Mother's Day Edition

Mother's Day is right around the corner (May 14th) and if you are like me you may wait until the last minute and search for something on Pinterest.  Well, STOP!  I have what you need right here and you can even get FREE shipping plus some other great coupons.
Oriental Trading has so many Mother's Day crafts and activities for your class to do.  I want to show you the treats I got that my class will be making for their moms!
Nothing says Mother's Day like a cute picture and picture frame.  Oriental Trading has many different kinds from foam stickers to wood!  My kiddos will be making these cute Happy Mother's Day frames.

These frames are my favorite because they do not require glue.  They are all stickers :)
Along with the frames, my kiddos will be decorating flower pots.

To decorate our pots I got this 10 pack of paints!  The colors are so vibrant and the quality is great!

I also got these adhesive colored jewels that my kiddos can stick all over their pots.  I know every mom loves some jewels :)

I hope you found some things you can use with your kiddos this Mother's Day!

Oriental Trading Wish List!

I know you all know about how great Oriental Trading is.  They have everything you need to plan the perfect party AND they have lots of teacher supplies.  They contacted me about their new wish list feature on their website.  I jumped right in creating my OWN wish list.  I was able to add anything from treasure box toys to paints.  The great thing about this feature is you are able to share the link with families on your class website and they can shop your wish list!  I know I sometimes struggle thinking of things to add to our donation list (I know-crazy), but with this feature I can see everything and easily add a product with one click.

Once you find a product you would like to add to your wish list, just click the button below the

"Add to Cart" button.

Once you have your wish list complete, you can click on the <3 Wish List and grab your personal link to share with your families.

Oriental Trading sent me some of the products off my wish list and I want to share with you some of the things I received.  All opinions are my own.

I received this ballot box and glitter American flag stickers.  Since the presidential election is this year, I thought it would be more fun to put our votes in a box and receive a fun sticker after!  This will make it more hands on and close to the real experience their parent's will go through!

We do an All About Me type unit every year.  These multicultural crayons will be perfect for their self portraits.  Oriental Trading has lots of Crayola products too!

 They also sell some room decor and they have partnered with Schoolgirl Style to give you more decorating ideas!  I usually track homework on a chart like this.  It has been on my long wish list for this school year, so I am glad I can check that off my list!

 We also do a Community Helpers unit and these vests will be perfect for that unit.  I plan on adding them to our playtime centers too.  I got a mail carrier, fire fighter, doctor/vet/dentist, construction worker, and a police officer.

Our school doesn't start until after Labor Day, so this cutie helped model the vests! :)

 My classroom does not have a rug.  Some days I don't mind it and some days I wish I had SOMETHING to mark everyone's spots.  I found these Centertime Seat Markers.  They are rubbery, so they will be easy to clean.  I can lay them out on the carpet during our carpet time or my kiddos can take a marker during center time.  I think this will be a great a reminder on where they need to sit and will help them remember to stay seated and work :)

 The final thing I got were some tweezer/tongs.  I am planning on using them for some fine motor activities.  I will have my students pick up pom poms or beads with them.  These would also be great for science!

You can check out my wish list here!  What would you put on your wish list!?  

Don't forget to start your own!
