Making Christmas gifts with your children can be a fun family project and one that creates happy memories, too.

It’s not too early to start these projects so you’ll have plenty of time and won’t be rushed in December.
When my daughter was small, we were involved in many types of crafts and often made gifts for our holiday giving. (Grandparents, especially, express appreciation for these items…whether they’re really useful or not!)
What types of items can you and your youngsters create? This all depends on the age of the children.
- Woven and patchwork potholders
- Collages with family events throughout the year
- Shadowboxes containing momentos from trips
- Placemats from autumn leaves, photos, and drawings
- Drawings you mat and frame
- Latch hooked pictures or hangings
- Necklaces and bracelets with beads
- Patchwork placemats
- Pin cushions (I still have one my daughter made me years ago.)
These are just a few of the items you can make with children.
What do you do in your family?
