I love crafts I can do it all the time. They excite me and its something to keep my days going and something to look forward too. A few years ago I made all the grandparents mugs (the mugs were labeled with their names) and stuffed it with their favorite candybars, hot cocoa, and candy canes. This year I wanted to do another sentimental gift. So I thought why not give the grandparents handprints of Rylee and Abagail decorated as a Santa Clause and have it become a great ornament.
Then I was thinking since we get gifts for our niece and nephews why not make it an educational gift. At first I was thinking, well they won't like that idea it wouldn't be fun, but then I kept thinking my Sister in Law made blocks for my girls with shapes labeled on them and my girls LOVE them. So I decided to make all the kids similar but personalized things.
So since most of my nephews should be learning to write or have been I decided to make letter tracing books. I am going to get a photo album from the dollar store that holds 4x6 photos and dry erase markers. These pictures below is what I will print off and put in the photo albums for each nephew.
Then I decide that's practicing their English why not throw some Mathematics in there. So I personalized a number matching game (1-20) for them on one card there will be the number written in both forms (1, One) then the matching one will be a picture of 1 train (I used items the boys liked).
Now all I have to do is find a educational game for my Niece. I'm thinking of a sentence structure game and/or multiplication or division either way I cannot wait for them to get their games this year.
I really hope they enjoy the education games I provide them.
