We have a tradition in our family where the kids draw names and make each other gifts for Christmas. They love making them and they love receiving them. They can only spend $5 or less for materials. This is what we came up with this year. These were the first gifts they opened on Christmas Eve.
George was a little lazy this year. He gave Emily some crochet hooks and yarn and said, "Make your own gift." (This one cost a little more than $5.)
Bradley got a Chinese Chess game from Wendy. Daddy helped with this one.
Sarah got a solitaire "Cracker Barrel" peg game from Bradley. Daddy helped with this one too.
Wendy got a golf tee Tic Tac Toe game from Jason. Daddy helped with this one as well.
Jason got a scripture case with his name in silver glitter letters from Rachel. I helped on this one. I just used David's old scripture case that wasn't being used.
Rachel got a beaded necklace and bracelet from Emily. The beads were a birthday gift for Emily and she was so pleased to put them to use. I wish I had a better picture of it.
George got a ribbon pacifier holder from Sarah. I helped with this one. I wasn't sure what we were going to use for the clip, but one day we were in a parking lot and there was the perfect clip on the ground as a stepped out of the car. It's the kind that are usually on name badges. I cleaned it, and it was perfect.
I love to see what your kids make for each other every year. (I still live vicariously through you. :)
