My daughter always gets crafty with teacher gifts (we give bookstore gift cards, too) Last year we made home-made Vanilla and her decorated labels were something. Another year she sewed draft blockers; another year muslin balsam sachets that she painted trees on. This year…. she’d (we’d!) better get moving! She is in 6th grade, so the craft projects have gotten increasingly impressive — and fun for me!– as she has gotten older.

We make homemade Girl Scout tagalongs each year and give them as gifts. So out comes the double boiler and bottle sterilizer tongs along with a ton of ritz crackers, peanut butter and almond bark!

Our favourite activity is making cards and stamping paper craft decorations which we sometimes draw and cut out with scissors, add glitter and glue, and other embellishements. Love to make individual cards and one for Santa too.

We love making place cards for everyone for Christmas dinner. My kids make them wackier every year!

Making ornaments. I try to pick a new ornament design each year and make one for all the families I know.

Dying eggs! :) I dye them for various holidays. At Christmas I draw little trees, snowmen, stockings and stars on with white crayon. Then I dye the eggs in nice holiday colors.

decorating cookies is my favorite, but that really isn’t a craft. making ornaments with my kiddos is always fun–glue, glitter, paint, wood, paper, fabric. a little nirvana.

We like making anything with homemade clay dough here. The kids love to get their hands in all sorts of squishy dough then painting it is even more fun.
We also like making gingerbread houses. Last year we made them out of rice krispie squares.
