If you have a little one too young to help make some of these other projects, this is for you! This sweet baby-paint ornament will light up anyone’s tree.

There’s no better way to teach your kids the meaning of the holidays than by having them make gifts for loved ones. (Not to mention that the people who love them will have their hearts melted.) That doesn’t mean that you should foist just any creative offering on people; some things are best kept for moms and dads (and maybe grandmas). These DIY projects are all simple enough for a kid to make (some with a little assistance, depending on the age of the child) that anyone would be happy to receive.
