Totally tacky IMO
The only way something even remotely like that would not be tacky is if an establishment were to send home a notice stating 'in lieu of buying presents for the holidays, please consider a donation of a game, book, or toy for the children to enjoy'. I know this is supposed to be for the teachers there but maybe a conversation before the holidays would be appropriate. Otherwise, I truly believe nobody should send home a list like that.
1) It's basically asking for gifts or making you feel gifts are expected.
2) It's implying any other gift wouldn't be appreciated or needed as much.
3) A gift is just that, a gift. It's given from the giver's heart, without rules and expectations.
