Gifts Kids Can Make for Christmas Gifts -Easy Crafts

Kids love to make and give gifts for Christmas and Birthdays. We all feel pretty great about ourselves when we can give something to someone else that we made by ourself. And that we are proud of ... it helps build our self-esteem.

Two easy gifts that kids can make and give this Christmas ... yes, there is still time ... can be found on our Ziggity Zoom kids site, http://www.ziggityzoom.com under the Christmas Crafts section. The first is a page that can be printed out with three color variations of contemporary Christmas trees. These can be made into bookmarks that will be used for a long time. Kids just have to cut out and laminate. Add a few scraps of yarn and wallah!!

Another fun gift for kids can be made from a discarded little cardboard, jewelry box. We all have some of these lying around. Paint and add glitter or little gem jewels with sticky backs and it is a really beautiful jewelry box. There are, of course, many other crafts and activities to choose from.
