Gigantic List of Christmas Gifts Kids Can Make

By

When we were children, gifts at Christmas were a BIG deal! Our parents always encouraged us to give to others, not just to expect to receive. It became sort of a family tradition that we would make, or save up to buy gifts for family members and friends. Mom and Dad helped us come up with ideas and we worked for months ahead of time, secretly of course, on the “perfect” homemade gift for everyone on our list: siblings, parents, grandparents, friends, even aunts, uncles and cousins!

Now that we are the parents, my siblings and I also encourage our children to be creative, thoughtful and generous during the Christmas season. Here is a list of homemade non-edible gifts kids can make for different people, without spending a lot of money, and without a lot of extra help. You might want to check out or list of Edible Christmas Gifts too.

    This is a great list (and so are the others) only problem is that any links to the Disney site (of which there are many) take you to their home page where it is the current crafts that are featured. There is no search feature that I can see.
