Put a new spin on holiday gifting by recruiting the kids’ creativity to help make homemade gifts.  Tighter budgets along with some creativity can be the inspiration for making one-of-a-kind presents this year.  Kids love to make crafts for the holiday season and get a great sense of accomplishment in creating items can be functional and given as gifts.

 Here are a few simple homemade gift ideas that the kids will enjoy making!

Share your home-made baked goods with family and friends with this special home-made gift bag: 

Decorate white or brown paper lunch sacks using acrylic paint in either red and green or blue and white.  Each bag can be different.  Stamp or paint stars, snowflakes, trees, icicles, etc. Sprinkle painted areas with silver glitter glue, tap off excess and let dry completely.  Fill the bag with wrapped baked goods.  Punch a hole in the top of the bag and thread an 8″ green or red ribbon through the holes.  Tie in a bow and give as a gift.

2.  Holiday Scratch Art Gifts

Purchase Scratch Art Scratch-Lite paper available on line or in your local art store.  Cut out festive shapes such as stars, circles, hearts or snowmen.  A rainbow of color appears when you  scratch out a design on the shape (use a wood stick, chopstick or skewer to scratch)!  Use as gift tags or punch with a hole punch and thread varying lengths of decorative ribbon or yarn to make a necklace, bookmark, tree ornament or a mobile.
