Creative Ideas You Can Do for Christmas, With The Kids

Everywhere I go seems like everyone is starting to get ready for Christmas already. So it made me think, why not think of some things to do with the kids while there is still plenty of time. I think we have gotten carried away with the Christmas rush, extending our credit cards and all the hoopla. Why not be more thrifty, more personal and have more fun with the kids, by making gifts for our loved ones instead of the conventional store bought gift. What could be more personal.

So I thought I would post some projects that are not only cheap to make, but fun as well. The possibilities are endless for what you can do. These were all bought at discount prices and chalkboard paint added.  I created these just as an example of quality gifts you wouldn't be embarrassed to give.
