Gift-Making Ideas for Kids

From LocalMom.com

Kids love making things; they just need supplies and guidance from an adult. Here are some creative ideas for gifts that will bring treasured memories simply because they came directly from little hands.

Design a photo frame: out of construction paper, card stock or pieces of wood. Decorate the frame with glitter, stickers, ribbons, buttons, shells, etc. and put a favorite photograph inside.

Create a collage about your family: using photographs, drawings, short descriptions and decorative items such as shells, leaves, ribbons, etc. These items can all be glued onto a large piece of poster board. Or make a small photo collage of a child with grandparents, cousins, etc.

Paint or decoupage a light-switch plate: Use thick paint that will adhere to shiny plastic surfaces or glue decorative pieces of fabric, wallpaper or magazine pictures onto the switch plate.

Paint pictures or designs onto plain clay flower pot. Give just the pot or fill it with a plant, candy, fall foliage, small pieces of wood or stone, etc.

Make ornaments from Styrofoam balls: Get a supply of beads, sequins, ribbon and tiny straight pins.
