21 Homemade Gifts for Kids to Inspire Creativity and Learning

Lately it seems kid’s Christmas lists are being overtaken by electronic gifts for gaming, streaming, movies and more. While these gifts can be fun for awhile, they will soon be replaced by something better, faster and more advanced. This Christmas inspire the children in your life to unplug and power down with homemade gifts for kids that will encourage creativity and learning.

When you give a homemade gift to a child it shows them the possibilities of what can be accomplished through crafting and creating. Other great gift ideas for kids are arts and crafts kits that can be taken home to create homemade projects of their own. Inspire them to build, decorate, sew, scrapbook and so much more! That feeling of achievement after making and completing a project by themselves can boost a child’s self confidence and imagination. We’ve put together a list of 21 of our favorite homemade gifts for kids and take home craft kits they’ll love this Christmas!
