What gorgeous ideas for kids to make. I know I would be happy to receive any of these! I’m going to save these ideas and give some a go next year when my son is a bit older!

My daughter wanted to make a cake for our neighbour who kindly always give us eggs and let the girls feed the chooks. We thought we would use our woolies Christmas decorations to decorate the top. The cake was a hit!

I remember making presents at school for my parents My niece decorated a pine cone and gave it to her Grandma for Christmas. It has been used a table centre piece.

These are lovely gift ideas !

Lots of cute and simple ideas, thanks

I was in the US recently and my friends Uncle buys paper mache christmas balls in bulk and paints them with winter scenes and such and sells them. He is selling them like crazy.

Some very cute ideas to try out!

Just so gorgeous..i’m gonna do few with my baby and gift them to his daycare teachers…wowwww

Love these. Can’t wait to make some crafts.

I love those! They are so gorgeous (-:

We always do homemade gifts and decorations. I am quite the fan of personalised baubles. Also remember the old school magazine folded Xmas trees?

Another way is to draw round your child’s hand or foot on whatever paper, thin cardboard or other material of your choice, cut it out, draw on it and use them as gift cards. Depending on the age your child you can let them do the entire thing or do some of it yourself for safety and supervise the rest of it. One year my niece made “chains from coloured paper + offcuts ffrom wrapping presents both that year and the previous one and gave it to Grandma a week early so she could hang it up as a decoration around the window frame along the wall to door frame then to a large window. It took pride of place for quite a few Christmas Days until eventually it collapsed. That meant much more and gave great pleasure to my Mum than an expensive present.

My son’s a teen now, but I used to love seeing what he would make at school at bring home for me at Christmas. I still hang them on the tree.

l like the idea of the photo frames,very personal!

Great ideas ! I love the Santa-hand-print !!

these are really great ideas and i bet that the kids will be impressed with themselves if they make some presents!

Still have lots of these home made baubles on my tree from previous years. The kids loved making them.
