What kind of interesting containers has your school used to make raffle gift baskets? I need some ideas!!?
I have to come up with 13 creative themes for the Ice cream social fund raiser this year. Each Pre School class(parents) will donate to the themed basket. Baskets can be very creative containers such as a wheel barrel and a “family garden” theme. Can anyone come up wiht some other ideas that I can present to the class teachers?
Thank you for your help.

P.S. sorry i could not find the appropriate category. School fundraisers would of been perfect!!!
Thank you so far to 4 awesome creative gals. But, I don’t have the themes yet. That is part of the question. Then a cool LARGE container to fill up with theme items. We have 13 classes and last year the baskets were worth hundreds of $$ each. The parents either donate $$ or items and the parent liason for each class (one mom) puts it together/shops for all the stuff and I just wanted to be prepared for the classes usually over 1/2 that can’t come up with a theme on there own. I am loving the garbage can idea perhaps one of those that collapse to put it away. We did a wheel barrel last year so maybe gardening won’t be accepted this year???? That is another concern. The board will OK all themes so to make sure the classes are all unique and no one is duplicating anything. Thank you and keep em coming.. can use the help. Large Container idea’s and clever things to put inside I thought of a “automotive” pkg 4 dad and use the “creeper roll around to put everything on & Coleman Stove-campg’

I have done this before for our Preschool and the ideas are almost endless. Here are a few ideas:
1) Baker’s Basket- use a baking cookie sheet or a large cake pan and fill with some of the following: oven thermo, minute timer, potholders, kitchen towels, mixing bowls, measuring spoons, wooden spoons, spatulas, cookbook, cooling rack, recipe cards, apron, etc.
2) Pasta Lover’s Basket- use a large collander lined with a pretty red and white checered napkins with the following: pastas of all neat shapes and sizes, pasta sauce, cheese grinder, pepper grinder, parmesan cheese, breadsticks, wine, pasta cookbook.
3) Tea Lover- Serving Tray with the following on it: Napkins, teapot, teacups with saucers, chocolate dipped spoons, tea cookies, scones, teas, candies, cookbook with recipes for teas
4) Gardener- large Picker’s Basket with the following: How to book, clay pots, gloves, tools, recipe book on veggies, seeds, plants, soil
5) Chocoholic- A big tin filled with everything you could imagine chocolate along with baker’s choco and cookbook
6) Crafter- Sewing basket filled with the following: fabrics, ribbons, buttons in a jar, fabric glue, paints, glue gun with glue sticks, silk flowers, scissors, threads
Computer Nut, Sports enthuisiast, Movie Buff. Hope this helps some.
I think if it’s a pre-school ice cream social raffle it should be items appropriate for pre-schoolers to handle and perhaps help in filling. Perhaps a large plastic dump truck filled with healthy snack packs, different types of sprinkles for ice cream, party cups, colorful plastic spoons… colorful small items that children would appreciate. Sand buckets, tiny wagons, anything that a child would want could be used to fill. And we want our kids to participate and learn to give. We all want what makes our children happy, make it so desirable any child would want to take it home.
