Christmas presents for daycare kids?

[playfelt]

I do the baking here to give. We make it in daycare or I make and they decorate so it is part of our activity program but then I send it home as compared to eating it all here. We use my portion for snacks. That way I don't feel bad and I got double duty as in it entertained the kids for a couple days.

I even stopped doing the special gift from child to parent because I got tired of trying to figure out how to deal with separated/remarried parents and did not want to give them something more to fight over nor did I feel it was my responsibility to let some of the kids make 2 or more. With the cookies we can even split what they make and hand out two small plates instead of one big plate.

Last year half of my group was already 3 and I used the Night Before Christmas set from the felt I sell and cut out one for each child which they played with at my house - mostly when babies were napping or I was making lunch, etc. Then on their last day I let them take the set home to keep. So again it was sort of a gift but I got double duty out of it. This year my two oldest are siblings of those kids so need to wait at least a year before I redo that one from a giving it out standpoint.
