DIY Gifts for Kids

Christmas is just around the corner and we always try to do some sort of personal, homemade gifts for our kids. And now that our kids are getting a little older, they love getting in on the action too!

Last year, Sweet Pea made her brother Homemade Gak and it was, hands down, his favorite gift. It provided hours of fun!

You could also make a Gak kit for your kiddos to make themselves.

These build-a-monster printables would be perfect to pair with a Monsters Inc. or Monster's University DVD. SO cute!

This Firefly Craft Kit would be easy to put together! All you need is a bottle (recycled water bottle or glass bottle with a cork), tissue paper squares, black pipe cleaner, googly eyes paper for wings and light sticks.
