[Handmade] Christmas Gifts for 2-Year-Olds (1–10)
Christmas bag made of felt
Here are some ideas for making a Christmas bag out of felt.
You’ll need felt, scissors, craft glue, a compass, string, and a hot glue gun.
First, use the compass to mark the red felt and cut out four pieces.
It’s also a good idea to measure and cut the other small parts in advance.
Next, use craft glue or a hot glue gun to attach the pieces together.
Finally, glue the string to the felt to create the gusset, attach the felt for the back panel, and you’re done! It can hold candies or small items, making it a great Christmas gift.
Mordor
The fluffy feel of mold dolls is so comfortable, and they’re especially appealing because you can make them to suit your child’s preferences.
Using a single twist rod, twist and bend it into your favorite character to create the framework for the face and body.
Attach the eyes and nose pieces with glue, and trim the amount of “fur” to your liking with scissors.
Animal mold dolls like dogs and cats are likely to be very popular with children, too.
Try making a one-of-a-kind mold doll of your very own!
Educational picture book
This is a handmade interactive picture book perfect for a curious two-year-old.
With every page turn, it stimulates hearing, sight, and touch, helping children enjoy the world of the book even more.
When writing numbers with a hot glue gun, make a rough sketch first to adjust the overall balance.
Thread beads onto a string and make sure to fasten the string securely so the beads won’t come off.
It’s packed with activities ideal for two-year-olds—color matching, shape matching, lacing, slime, and more.

Accessories

If you give cute accessories as a present, they’re sure to be delighted.
Add accent beads and glitter into the silicone mold you want to use.
By putting in plenty of glue sticks cut into small pieces in your desired color, the finished piece will have depth and volume.
After heating it in a toaster for 5 minutes, let it cool thoroughly, remove it from the mold, and trim the edges with scissors to finish.
It looks adorable if you attach it to hair ties or clips using adhesive.
Definitely try making some as gifts!
play kitchen
How about a handmade pretend-play kitchen as a Christmas present for a two-year-old? It’s perfect for nurturing your child’s creativity and imagination.
They can have fun imitating the cooking actions they’ve seen in a real kitchen, naturally learning everyday words along the way.
Another great point is that you can customize the kitchen to match your child’s preferences.
If you make it together, it will also deepen your communication.
It’s sure to be a wonderful gift that supports your child’s growth while creating precious memories.
gachapon
Gachapon machines are very popular with children and they love them.
Let’s make a gachapon using a milk carton.
Cut the exit part into an arch shape, and cut out the turning section and the window.
As you assemble it, measure the size and length of the necessary internal parts, adjust them, and glue them together to improve functionality.
For the hand-turned handle, make fine slits in a toilet paper roll core and build it sturdily so it won’t come off.
Once you wrap the outside with construction paper in your favorite color, your original gachapon is complete.
puppet
How about giving puppets as Christmas presents that kids can have fun playing with? If you make glove-style puppets, you can easily handcraft them using fleece or felt, so give it a try! Animal puppets are classics, but what about adding a clever twist: a mechanism where food goes into the mouth and collects in the tummy? This can also help with children’s food education, so gifts with themes like this are highly recommended! Another nice point is that you can make everything by hand-sewing.
A gift made stitch by stitch, with time and care, is sure to stay in your child’s memory.
