Handmade Christmas presents! Easy ideas for kids to make

Terrarium

Let's Make It with Moss! Christmas Tree [Moss Terrarium Craft] (Subtitled)

Many people are probably thinking about choosing a Christmas present that helps children grow.

In that case, I’d like to recommend a handmade terrarium.

A moss terrarium shaped like a Christmas tree is especially great for the season.

It looks cute, and caring for it can be a fun way to learn science.

Keeping an observation journal can even turn it into a winter-break assignment.

Start by researching how to take care of it and teach your child what to do.

By the way, if you use white gravel at the bottom, you can also recreate the look of freshly fallen snow.

knit cap

[100-Yen DIY!] How to Easily Make a Knit Cap with a Homemade Knitting Loom ✨

A great recommendation for kids who like crafts is a knitted hat you can make with yarn from the 100-yen shop.

You can even make your own knitting machine! Use a divider board available at the 100-yen shop to create an original knitting tool.

It looks like an oversized French knitting spool (loom).

It’s best to make it in a size that fits the recipient’s head.

For yarn, super bulky types that knit up quickly are recommended.

Knitting is a repetitive process, so even children can do it easily! Of course, adults can make it too.

Super Easy: How to Knit a Handmade Scarf — No Crochet Hook Needed! Just a Plastic Bottle and Chopsticks

Many of you might be thinking about giving a scarf as a Christmas present.

But maybe you feel that knitting is too difficult because the bar is high.

Actually, you can make a simple knitting machine using a plastic bottle and chopsticks, and easily knit a scarf! Cut a 2-liter plastic bottle in half and attach 11 wooden chopsticks around the outside with duct tape or similar.

The key is to use an odd number of chopsticks! Hook your favorite yarn over the chopsticks and start knitting; since it’s just repeating the same steps, even children can make it easily.

If you make separate pompoms and tie them to both ends of the scarf, it will look extra cute.

Marble crayon

Easy! [Marble Crayons]

Many children love drawing, don’t they? A gift I highly recommend is marble crayons.

People often think of marble crayons as something you buy at a store, but you can actually make them by hand.

Since they’re made from old, unwanted crayons, they’re eco-friendly too.

If you gather colors from the same family, you’ll get a gradient-like finish.

Or, if you combine completely different colors, you can create a rainbow effect.

Pay attention to your color combinations so you end up with beautiful marble crayons.

Handmade album

[Handmade Album] Easy! Christmas Pop-up/Interactive Ideas! 5 Types Introduced!

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to give a gift that looks back on the Christmas memories you’ve shared so far, as well as memories from this year? That’s why I recommend a handmade album.

Rather than a book-style album, this is an object made from construction paper where photos appear when you slide a piece.

It makes a striking visual impact and is easy to make original.

Just thinking about what kind of object to create is exciting, isn’t it? If you’re giving it to a child, using a popular character as the motif is a great idea.
