Easy Kid-Made Holiday Gifts that People Will Love to Receive #mosswoodconnections (1)

The holiday season is a wondrous time. A time for family and celebrations, for hot chocolate on a snowy day and making time to cuddle. But sometimes adults can get too wrapped up in shopping and children can get tied up thinking about what presents they want; it's nice to remember that holiday gifts are really about showing love and appreciation. When children make homemade holiday gifts they benefit in so many ways. Not only are they keeping busy and stretching their creativity, but it also lets them take a turn as the gift giver. It's simply lovely to see a child's face light up with pride as they give their gift to someone and watch for their reaction.

Take some time this holiday season and help your children get creative making DIY gifts and holiday decorations that adults will love to receive.
