what are your kids making for presents?

Im trying to come up with some ideas for my siblings to make for my mom. They are 10, 8 and 7. For the 7 year old, I was thinking a Messy Masterpiece type thing. I have no ideas for the older 2..

 What are your kids making? I want simple, I dont want to have to make it for them to give.

Re: what are your kids making for presents?

  • We're making Christmas ornaments I think.  This is what I had in mind:

    There are lots of ideas for child made ornaments out there though.

    In the past we've done hand print crafts - stones for the garden, an apron (that reads "Best Cook Hands Down'), coasters.  We've also done framed artwork and pictures too.

  • I think it always fun to put together a cute family photo " of the kids" in kid decorated frame is nice. Let them pick out goofy sweater or wear reindeer antlers or something. Snap and print a pic, craft store frame to paint. Bam awesome parent gift. :)

  • A handprint calendar. I did a different hand print for each month shaped into something that goes with that month (Jan snowflake, Feb heart, Mar shamrock, etc) and scanned them all and will upload them to make a calendar for DH and for the ILs.
