Ideas needed - Christmas gift made by 5 year old

[HappyGirl]

I'm looking for some gift ideas for teachers, etc. that a 5 year old can help create. I want her to be included... any ideas?

Thanks,

A great site to go for ideas is at Family Fun Magazine--they have all kinds of crafts that children can actively participate in, are easy, have pictures etc.

For instance there is a Handprint Santa Card

here is the page of Holiday Crafts

Cookie mixes in a jar are good, or soup in a jar to help a busy teacher to get dinner on the table

Button Snowman---you can make it into a magnet or pin


Decoupage Paperweight

Bookmarks are good too--and as a paper crafter I know you have the tools to do so

Maybe also have your child write a letter (or narrate it, with you writing down what she says) with the gift. I have heard so many teachers go on and on about how they love letters from students, and how they cherish these so much.

oh most definitely---have your little one draw a picture or write a note--whatever she is capable of--or draw the picture and you write what she says

Came across this today and easy enough for a little one--and who doesn't need some Christmas goodies

My daughter and I made some lotion last year from a recipe we found on here. It made a whole bunch for all her teachers and then we put it in decorated jars. She had a ton of fun helping me mix up the batches and fill the jars.

It was somewhere on this thread: Forums at Splitcoaststampers

Our project is in the gallery here:
