[Handmade] Christmas Gifts for 2-Year-Olds (21–30)
sweets
Sweets that are perfect for Christmas parties or snacks are sure to delight the kids! How about trying cookies, one of the easiest homemade treats to make? One great thing about cookies is that they require only a few ingredients.
Plus, you can make them in large batches, so they’re highly recommended as casual Christmas gifts.
Using cookie cutters in Christmas motifs or shapes your children love—like animals or characters—is a great idea, too! Decorating with chocolate pens in various colors will give them a lively, festive look.
stuffed animal
How about a handmade stuffed toy as a special gift for your child? It has a warmth you won’t find in store-bought items and is sure to become a cherished treasure.
It’s also appealing that you can choose your favorite colors and patterns to create an original character.
For safety, we recommend avoiding small parts.
There are simple options you can make with felt or wool, so you can enjoy crafting together with your child.
It’s sure to be a wonderful gift that nurtures their imagination!
kids’ tent
A dream for kids! Why not try making a handmade kids’ tent? If you give it as a Christmas present, your child is sure to be thrilled! The materials are very simple—like newspapers and wrapping paper.
It’s very economical since it hardly costs anything.
Roll up newspapers to make the tent poles, then combine them to form the frame.
After that, just cover it with your favorite patterned wrapping paper and you’re done! You can choose your child’s favorite colors, shapes, and size, making it a perfect gift to strengthen the parent–child bond.
Christmas tree
How about having fun making a handmade Christmas tree together as a parent and child? Start by creating the basic shape with cardboard or reusable materials, then make a cone with green paper.
The process of crafting ornaments from colorful paper or fabric and buttons and decorating the tree will be a wonderful time that nurtures your child’s creativity.
Top it with a sparkling star, and it’s complete.
Your child’s eyes are sure to light up! A one-of-a-kind tree filled with your family’s love will surely become a cherished Christmas memory.
cloth picture book
A fabric picture book that feels warm and cozy is highly recommended as a Christmas present for your child.
It may take some effort, but above all, it will surely become a lifelong memory for them! First, decide on the story and the number of pages.
As you make it, you’ll likely add mechanisms and small items, which can make the book thicker, so it’s best to plan for fewer pages.
Also, if you use glue to attach fabric, there’s a risk your child could peel it off and swallow it, so even though it’s more work, it’s better to sew with thread.
A one-of-a-kind fabric picture book filled with the charm of handmade craftsmanship—your child is sure to love it!
hat
When it comes to heartfelt, handmade Christmas gifts, a classic choice has to be a knit hat.
For beginners, crochet is especially recommended—it’s easier to start than knitting with needles.
These days, you can also find a wide variety of yarns at 100-yen shop craft sections, which are great to use.
Thicker yarn makes it easier for beginners to crochet and gives the hat a charming, natural look with a cozy, chunky texture.
Adding a pom-pom to the top makes it even cuter! You can easily make one using a pom-pom/tassel maker from a 100-yen shop, so give it a try.
Handmade album
A handmade album is such a lovely idea.
You can capture your child’s growth and adorable moments in photos and bring them together in one album.
The great thing about making it yourself is that you can incorporate your child’s favorite colors and characters during the process.
The time you spend working on it together will surely become a special memory too.
The finished album will be a treasure for your child as well.
It’ll be the kind of wonderful gift you’ll want to look back on even years later.
As a Christmas present, why not consider making a handmade album?
