You can make one by sewing felt together, or just use a sock. Kids decorate them with markers, glitter, sequins and other fun materials. Making gifts - One cute gift item kids can create is a mosaic picture frame or flower pot. Spread tile grout over the surface, and simply place ceramic tiles, beads, marbles, shells and other small items on it. Crafting holiday designs - Kids can make bells, reindeer, menorah, Santa and other designs by using holiday cookie cutters on Play Doh or cutting their own cardboard shapes and drawing on them with markers, crayons or fabric paints.
Children can also paint and decorate wooden ornaments.
Making household decorations - Use one of these ideas, or let kids come up with their own. Most activities can be tailored for kids of all ages, explains Joy Metcalf, also a junior education student at Millsaps. It doesn't matter how old or young they are. Millsaps College is a privately supported college founded in 1890 and is affiliated with the United Methodist Church.
