[Handmade] Handmade Christmas gifts you'd want to give a 3-year-old girl (1–10)
cardboard house
Create your very own dream house! Here are some ideas for making a cardboard house.
What you’ll need: a large cardboard box, a utility knife, a cutting mat, zip ties, and an awl.
First, cut the cardboard with the utility knife.
Next, sketch and cut out the windows.
Don’t forget to cut out the entrance as well—that’s key.
Try adding custom touches like bay windows or peepholes as you go.
Finally, secure the door with zip ties, and you’re done! It could be fun to add curtains or paint it, too!
bath bomb
Give the gift of a bath bomb in their favorite color! Here are some ideas for handmade bath bombs.
You’ll need a bowl or other container, food coloring, baking soda, citric acid, essential oil, molds of your choice, and glitter powder.
First, mix baking soda and citric acid in a 2:1 ratio in a bowl.
In a separate container, dissolve your chosen food coloring in a small amount of water.
Next, add the dissolved food coloring and a small amount of essential oil to the bowl and mix well to avoid lumps.
It’s a good idea to wear disposable gloves and mix by hand.
Finally, pack the mixture firmly into capsules or molds, and let it dry for 30 minutes to a full day—then it’s done! Try adding artificial flowers or small toys for a fun twist.
Doctor playset made of felt
Let’s play pretend as our dream doctors! Here are some ideas for a doctor playset made from felt.
The charm is that you can make items like a syringe, stethoscope, thermometer, and medicine out of felt.
It would be a delightful gift not only for children whose future dream is to become a doctor or nurse, but also for kids who love taking care of others.
You could make it in the child’s favorite colors, and adding their name or a unique emblem as a little custom touch might be nice, too.
Give it a try and make one!

Christmas bag made of felt
No sewing required! Here are some ideas for making Christmas bags out of felt.
You’ll need felt, scissors, craft glue, a compass, string, and a hot glue gun.
Even if you want to give a handmade bag as a gift, some of you may feel unsure about using a sewing machine or needle.
This idea uses mainly felt and a hot glue gun, so you can finish the bag without spending time on fraying fabric or tying off threads.
Fill the finished bag with sweets or small items and give it as a gift!
Snow Wands
https://www.tiktok.com/@lunimama_asobi/video/7163815297621839106The shaka-shaka rattling sound is so fun! Here’s an idea for making Snow Wands.
You’ll need: clear ornament balls, cushion bead filler, Christmas-themed illustrations, straws, wooden chopsticks, craft glue, tape, ribbon, and small bells.
Making your very own Snow Wand is sure to lift your spirits.
When making a hole in the clear ornament ball, you’ll be using a heated awl, so be very careful to avoid burns.
You’re sure to see wonderful smiles on the children’s faces!
candy tree
A Christmas tree is an essential decoration for the season—not only does it add sparkle, it also evokes the excitement of gifts.
This present captures that same fun by stacking colorful candies like a Christmas tree.
The base is a party cone hat, and you attach small candy-filled bags to match the shape.
It’s best to not only research and use the recipient’s favorite sweets, but also focus on visual flair and finish it with lots of color.
play kitchen
For children who are interested in pretend play, a play kitchen makes a great Christmas present! Believe it or not, you can handcraft one using supplies from the 100-yen shop.
The charm of handmade is that you can customize it to suit your child’s needs.
No need to worry about store-bought, full-scale toys being bulky or not matching your taste.
This version is made by combining items like 100-yen wooden boards, plywood, wooden slats, and display boxes.
Basically, you don’t use nails—just glue the materials together—so even DIY beginners can give it a try with ease.
