Most of the time, I really dislike shopping in stores for kid's gifts. It seems like everything is plastic Made-in-China stuff that seems to be lacking in both useful lifespan and in encouraging creative play. So I love these DIY ideas for kid's gifts because they are all relatively simple to make, while still being educational and imaginative toys. I have two little nephews and I really think they'd love to get any one of these. Heck, I'd pretty much love to recieve any of these, especially those Monster Mittens! :)
1. Monster Mittens from Martha Stewart
2. Advent Calendar from Rachel at Smile and Wave
3. Monogrammed Superhero Capes from Inchmark {Sorry, no instructions--I didn't realize that until after creating the collage-- so use this tutorial or this one}
4. Bugsy Tic-Tac-Toe from JoAnn Fabrics
5. Fort Kits from Meg + Andy
6. Fabric Matching Game from The Purl Bee
7. Dinosaur Spike Sweatshirt from Ginger and George
8. Teepee from Baby Blackbird
