If you are looking for Christmas Gifts Kids Can Make, look no further. In fact, these gift ideas are great crafts for all year round – be it Mother’s Day, Father’s Day or just a special birthday. I am a great believer in that kids should be making as many as their gifts as possible. The world is a commercial world these days and one of the ways, that we can teach our kids to be thoughtful is to steer away from the shop bought gift ideas and towards the homemade ideas. Here is a range of crafts that we have made over time, that hopefully will inspire you get crafty with the kids this Christmas! We have lots ofEasy Christmas Crafts for Kids for you too!
Though these Gifts Kids Can Make focus a little on Christmas, they are also perfect for Mother’s Day Gifts or Birthday Gifts to family and friends. So do come back and take a peak throughout the year too!

October 19, 2013 at 10:22 pmThanks for these brilliant ideas – will try them out with my little ones. When I was very small we used to make batches of peppermint creams, coconut rolls, turkish delight, and peanut brittle with icing sugar and pink food coloring. I recall my grandfather saying it was one of the best Christmas presents he ever received.

October 27, 2013 at 5:28 amThese are really beautiful projects for kids! I’d love my son to create his own Christmas presents. If your friend is a dog lover, you might want to give them a dog artwork (a painting or a hand blown dog glass figurine) for Christmas that is timeless, beautiful, a piece that gains true value in time, and would remind them of their love towards their dogs.

November 28, 2013 at 2:54 amI love these ideas but I can’t seem to print anything from your site to use. HELP ?
Red Ted Art says
November 28, 2013 at 8:25 amThat is odd, you can’t highlight and copy and save, but you should be able to just “hit print”? So sorry you are having problems.

April 14, 2014 at 12:29 pmA homemade gift from the kids is definitely different and would stand out among other commercial gifts! Much more personal and memorable.
