Another great gift is to put a picture (if you have one) of your little one with their best friend and put it into either a frame or an ornament frame to give. Its nice to look back over the years and remember that time or person in your childs life esp. if you've moved or just moved on.

Also, my 6 y.o. gave her little brother a voucher offering 'play' for one hour! (Can't wait to see that!)

It is one of the most highly prized parts of Christmas now. In the past few years, my kids have made fleece pillows (by knotting around the edges), earrings, Christmas Elfs, knit scarfs, knit kitties, collages from school painting papers, carved mice, stamped stationery. We're attempting bound journals this year. We all make handmade gifts for each other and exchange them on Christmas Eve so they are special–removed from all the other stuff on Christmas morning.

At eight years of age, this was a project she could easily have done, but I did just 'cause I was in the mood to play around with paper and glue one night. All you need is glass baubles (the kind they use in floral arangement), a picture to be magnified, magnets, and glue. You'll find pictures and instructions <a href="http://littleelephants.typepad.com/little_elephants/2006/12/small_gifts.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.

We got some foam photo frames with tap and ballet shoes on them and make them for all the kids in her dance class. They were simle enough for her to do. She's only 3 but we had a great time with the and the kids loved them. We went to http://www.orientaltrading.com and found some cute kits!

Ta Da! Scarves! They were a big hit. :D One we did a year when I got a BIG chunk of fleece on sale was to cut it into strips about 10 inches wide, fringe the ends and let him roll them up and tie them with curly ribbon.
