Homemade Holiday Gifts Kids Can Make

Today, our crafty KITS Coach Alice joins us to give families great ideas on how to make inexpensive holiday gifts filled with love.

I don’t know about you, but there is something about the holiday season that brings out my
crafty side. There is something kind of magical about cutting, gluing, and painting while listening
to holiday music with my kids. And they love it. They get so proud of their creations,
imperfections and all, and can’t wait to give them as gifts. It’s also a chance to find a teachable
moment about being generous and thoughtful, and doing so in a way that doesn’t have to cost a
lot of money.

Unfortunately, I am not particularly handy with a needle and thread, and I admittedly have lost
a battle or two with a hot a glue gun. So, when I am looking for homemade gift ideas that I can
do with the kids, I have two goals: That they be easy, and that they don’t break the bank. With
these goals in mind, I have compiled a list of some our favorite homemade crafts and gifts
along with some that we are trying out for the first time this holiday season. I hope your family
enjoys them, and remember, adding a little hot cocoa to the crafting experience never hurts!

Find this DIY gift/craft list on our Pinterest page and check back throughout the month for more
crafty ideas!

KITS REQUIREMENTS

Coaching and Videotaping

KITS uses ongoing coaching to support educators in the implementation of the model. We do this through viewing groups on video, weekly team meetings, and fidelity monitoring. Your team will record KITS School Readiness and Parent Groups and upload each session to a secure online platform (such as Box.com). The videos are only used as a means to support KITS staff. We promise it’s not scary!

Your KITS team will meet every week to talk about what is working well and areas where you may be experiencing challenges. During these meetings, teams and coaches will work together to problem-solve challenges, offer support and encouragement, and celebrate successes!

If parents or students do not wish to be recorded, they can be seated out of view or for online parent groups they may turn off their cameras.
