Christmas Gifts mean so much when they are homemade, makes the gift so much more personal!   I know my kids *LOVE* making gifts for their friends.

…homemade is one of our favorite December Activities!

Homemade Christmas Gifts we’ve made in the past:

• Melt Crayons to create new ones that your kids can give to friends.   Add a small notebook for the perfect crafty gift.
• Make a Tent Kit made from PVC pipe and Fabric – Make a hideout for the kids in your life.
