In order to release some of the pressure and expectations around the holidays, we try our best to hand make the majority of our gifts. There’s nothing more heart warming than a handmade gift, except maybe one crafted and given by kids! Below is a list of some of my favorite nature-based gifts that kids can create for someone special in their life.
Some of these may take a bit of help from an adult depending on how old your child is. We encourage our daughter to choose a project that involves a material, color or process that she is drawn to. This shouldn’t be a stressful activity, just have fun creating something together in the spirit of generosity and you can’t go wrong!
