Hi,

I am looking for some easier kids crafts for the holiday season. My kids and my sister in-laws kids are exchanging gifts this year that are home-made, (we are trying to save some cashola!) The kids getting the crafts will be 3, 5, and 7, and the kids making hte crafts will be 7 and 4.

If anyone has some good

s, I would really appreciate hearing them!! Thanks.

HI

You can make polar fleece scarf by getting fleece (1/4 to 1/2 yard ) and cut frindges on the end

For a girl you get a large soda bottle and cut it near the bottle and get a PVC pipe (10 1/4 inch) put it in the soda bottle put plaster of parisd around it put top of soda bottle to hold it in place( Cut the pipe to fit ) Get a decrative wood topper
and glue it on top after the plaster has set and paint it with a

lic paints It is an instant hair scrunchy holder!

A great place to find gifts is on the Family Fun web site..

ALso depending on how much you wish to spend you can make Cuddle up blankets by getting 2 pieces of fleece that complement each other for the sizeyou want it to be plus a little extra. Use masking tap to make an edge about 3 inches in all around then take the fleece and knot both pieces together all around the blanket

Go to any craft store and you can find great

's there also.!!If I think of any more I let you know
