Kids like giving people gifts just as much as adults. They may not know what to get for someone, however. Helping your child make a special gift for their grandparents, aunts and uncles, or brothers and sisters is a good way to help them participate in the gift giving. Here are some ideas for gifts that kids can make.

· T-shirts are one idea and they aren’t hard to make. A) Buy the transfer paper and new shirt. B) Make the design on the computer, or scan it into the computer if they draw it on paper. C) Print the design onto the transfer paper. D) Iron the transfer on the t-shirt.

· Jewelry is another gift that kids can make. There are all different kinds and colors of beads out to choose from. The string and clasp are all usually on the same isle of the store. Most beads come with instructions, or you can find papers at hobby stores. It really is simple to string beads for bracelets and necklaces.

· Artwork is a creative way for your child to make someone a gift. They can draw a picture or take a photograph and put it in a frame. This is a gift the receiver can display letting the child know it was important to them.

· Cards are very easy to make. You can use different colored paper, put lace around the edges, add photo’s, and jazz them up in many other ways. Let your child have fun with it!

Use your imagination and I’m sure you can come up with some more gifts that would be easy for your children to make for people. Craft projects are fun for children. They also offer opportunity for you and your child to spend more time together.
