I can no longer pretend it isn't time to start organising the Christmas gifts for Grandparents, other family members and friends (I know some of you will already have it sorted though!!) so I have been looking through our Christmas ideas from last year for a little inspiration.
I really love giving gifts from the kids, they just mean so much more and the children can play a real part in the gift giving process. For those of you who are just getting into the Christmas spirit (my excuse is I had to get through my Birthday first, what's yours?) perhaps you might find some inspiration for gifts or toddler friendly craft in the collection below.
I'll be adding more of our Christmas craft and gifts over the next few weeks but we don't tend to go to crazy with the Christmas theme as it can all become a little overwhelming!
The following gift ideas are perfect for those on a budget and for getting younger toddlers involved in the magic of Christmas. Just click on the photo heading for more information about each activity. I do hope you find something to get you excited about helping the kids to create some handmade kiddie gifts for family this year….
Easy Toddler Christmas Gifts for Family
Saltdough Handprint Keepsakes –
We made these for Father's Day but they make perfect Christmas gifts too. Why not try feet prints as an alternative?
DIY Christmas Puffy Paint Pictures
Balcony Salad Barrel
Microwave Salt Dough Ornaments
Easy Homemade Christmas Cards
Sensory Christmas Stamping
Fruit and Almond Balls
Almond Gingerbread Biscuits
A little twist on the usual gingerbread recipe….
Easy Toddler Christmas Wreaths
My all time favourite Christmas craft…I just love how the kids can create their wreath to look however they want. And they are quite special hanging around the walls at Christmas time. I know they would make lovely gifts for proud grandparents!
Need more ideas for Christmas craft you can do easily with the children? I've also collected a list of fantastic activities and homemade gifts from some of my favourite bloggers. I do hope you stop by for a visit!

I might just try the wreaths too! It’s a VERY cold Saturday. Not much planned here – might be a fun craft to interject into the day! Hope you are enjoying your holiday season so far!
