Looking for simple and easy ideas for teacher appreciation week? We’re busy planning teacher appreciation week at our kids’ school and can’t wait to show our thanks and appreciation for our hard working teachers! This year we planned a donut themed appreciation day to tell teachers and school staff – “We donut know how to thank you enough!” We’ve got a printable donut themed sign and decor with coordinating donut thank you tags to add to our teacher thank you gifts. We’ll set it all up in the faculty room in the morning and treat teachers to donuts, milk, and drinks.

Our donut themed party printables don’t have to be used just for teacher appreciation week, it could also be used for a birthday party, coaches, nurse appreciation day, staff and coworker appreciation day, a neighbor gift, a thank you for clients, family, friends, and more! These printable thank you donut tags are very versatile and can be used to decorate for a donut party or simply attached to a box of donuts and given as an easy thank you gift.


#1 Large Donut Thank You Sign

The printable donut party sign and poster says “We DONUT know how to thank you enough!” The donut sign measures 16×20” and has two different print options. Print it at your local print shop or big chain print store as one 16×20” print. Or the second option is to print from home on four 8.5×11” pages that you can easily tape together to make a large poster.


#2 Donut Garland & Donut Clipart

Paper garlands are super easy to make. To make this DIY donut paper garland print on 8.5×11” cardstock paper, cut it out, and attach to string or twine. The donuts can also be used as clipart or cute tags for your boxes of donuts.

As a bonus, use the Large Donut Thank You Sign along with the Donut Paper Garland and attach to your teacher’s door. Each child can write a special note on their own donut or write their favorite thing about their teacher and attach it to the door. It’s a super easy and inexpensive way to get the entire class involved.


#3 “H2O” Water Bottle Drink Labels

Match your water bottles to the donut themed decor by adding a donut themed water bottle drink label. Take off the original label from a water bottle and add these donut themed water bottle labels to dress up your drinks. Simply download, print, cut out, and tape the ends together.


#4 “Got Milk” Drink Labels

Milk and donuts go perfect together, so of course we needed a donut themed milk drink label. We love decorating with paper because it can instantly make ordinary items a decoration. We printed these “Got Milk” drink labels and added them to some mini milk jugs we purchased from Amazon. You could add them to individual chocolate milk cartons too.


#5 Generic Donut Themed Drink Labels

Serving more than just water and milk? You could put these donut drink labels on all your drinks for a fun, generic, donut themed drink station. They’d look so cute on juice bottles!


#6 “Thanks a Hole Bunch” party tags

Attach these donut themed party tags to individually bagged donuts, a small bag of donut holes or mini donuts, or a box of donuts! These make such a cute thank you tag and sweet gift for teachers, staff, neighbors, friends, etc.


Most of us don’t have time to come up with a creative way to say thank you to our teachers. Whether you’re part of the school PTA or just want to spoil your kid’s school teachers, we are here to help you out with simple and easy teacher appreciation week ideas, end of school year teacher and staff gifts, parent teacher conference treats, or back to school goodies.

Looking for fun teacher appreciation door decoration ideas? We’ve also used our donut printables to decorate the teacher’s classroom door for an easy and cute teacher appreciation door idea! Simply print the donut thank you sign and hang it on the door. Then give each student in the class a paper donut to write something they’re thankful for about their teacher. Hang them on the door and you’ve got a simple and inexpensive teacher appreciation door!

    Is there any way I could get one of the candy bar printables corrected? The “you deserve chocolate” one is spelled incorrectly. It is listed as derserve and I don’t know how to fix it myself! But this Dos such a super cute idea and I’ve bought everything for it. Thanks!!

    • thealohahut says:
