Making this a separate thread so if anyone comes across ideas, you can add them. I’m in charge of buying the holiday gifts for DD’s School. It’s a K-5 school with just over 300 kids. I have to keep it to about $3 per kid. I don’t have to get the whole school the same thing but it would make my life easier. One year they got art sets for everyone and last year they got a bunch of random stuff from 5 Below and the kids just got whatever. DD got some craft thing she loved but DS got something he was way too old for. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

A pencil case? Game? One of those friends books, that your classmates can fill in?

H’s school gives them a book (like a paperback from scholastic) and a little jar of knock off playdough.
I’d check oriental trading and see if they have anything that interests you.

I don’t know if you have time for this, but you could order those stretchy gloves with the school logo on them. In bulk (even personalized) I’m sure they’re very inexpensive.

You could also look into little travel size games (Connect 4, hungry hippos, checkers )Those could be differentiated enough for the K-1, 2-3, and 4-5 sets.
