For Kiddos:
Felt Car Mat: By far my favorite item. This is easily personalized for any child on your list, made with a glue gun and doesn't take as long as it looks.
Felt Fish Magnetic Game: I love these little fish and they can be used for so many different learning activities (counting, color matching, etc.). Somewhat time consuming and tedious, but well worth it.
T-Shirt Quilt: Take your kiddos' old t-shirts (sports, etc.) and turn them into a keepsake! T-shirt material is super forgiving and again, if I can make them, you can too. The LSU quilt was my 3rd!
DIY Felt Food: By far the easiest and cheapest gift you'll ever make/give.
Hopefully these homemade gifts inspire you to make something homemade for your kiddos or other kiddos in your life this year. If you haven't noticed, I LOVE felt. It's super cheap and easy to work with (what's not to love!?).
Please comment if you try any of these projects! I'd love to see pictures!

Those fish look fun!
ReplyDeleteI am also having a love affair with felt. I made the kiddos a felt house for Christmas and have a sort-of tutorial about it:

I need to site down and make some more felt food for the kids........
ReplyDeletewow you've been busy, these look great. I love the little veg patch on the play mat
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fun to see how much enjoyment the kids get out of felt scraps made into fun things:) I just cut a pile of shapes and numbers out of felt and my 5yo has been busy busy making patterns and designs. Love the felt food. Thanks for liking up to ABC's show and tell this week.
