Want to make gifting extra special this year? We have rounded up 20 handmade gift ideas that toddlers can make on their own—or at least with minimal help from Mum or Dad. And, if the first thing that comes to mind when you think of handmade toddler gifts is misshapen pottery, you will be thrilled to see these actually adorable DIY trinkets. From gifts of light to delectable chocolatey treats, these handmade presents will help make this holiday one to remember.
This tea light gift is perfect for anyone, really. Kids will love making and molding the dough around tea lights, while recipients will appreciate the handmade bright spot. Wrap them up in sets or three or six and you have got a lovely gift for friends and family.
These whimsical homemade photo holders are so much fun to look at that you almost do not even need a photo to put in them (though they are the perfect place to display your favourite toddler pic).
Let your child dream up some fun things for family and friends to cash in on, like reading story books over FaceTime. You can print out a template like this one, or let your child really go crazy with their own designs.
These marbled mugs seriously look professionally done but anyone can make them—even toddlers (with help from Mum or Dad!). That is the beauty of an abstract design! Grab a few mugs and get dipping with this satisfying project.
These sweet gift bags are filled with delightfully scented herbs that will transform any bath into something special. The best part? These are easy to put together and they look absolutely adorable.
Your kids will be the most popular gift-givers of the year with this epically delicious homemade gift idea. Just try not to eat them all before you wrap them up and give them away!
Give the gift of light with this fun art project that will have your little ones gluing tissue paper in fun designs and images onto glass jars. Slip in a tea light and you have got a gorgeous handmade gift.
If you have been hoarding your child’s artwork without an endgame, here is a way to put those doodles to good use! You can turn even your toddler’s most abstract art into a functional little keepsake with these DIY coasters. Your kiddo does the designing; you take care of the (very quick!) assembly.
Potato stamps are a blast (talk about playing with your food!). With a little help from their parents, kids can stamp out fun patterns on tea towels to make one-of-a-kind homemade gifts.
This is a super fun project for kids of most ages. Take a gold marker and place lots of little dots around and all over stickers affixed to a flowerpot (use letters, as seen here, or go with other shapes!). For kids who are too little for permanent marker or a neatly dotted design, you can achieve a similar effect by letting them scribble or sponge paint over the stickers. Fill the inside with a plastic bag of soil, a pack of seeds, and note from your child and you have got a super fun gift that anyone would enjoy.
This clay footprint bowl is a sweet way to memorialise how small your child once was. As they grow, this handmade gift will serve a sweet reminder of holidays past.
Make an entire set of these sweet glass ornaments that hold the adorable handprints of your kids. Decorate each one a little differently and give them to your most beloved family and friends.
Perfect for even the youngest of kids, this DIY art project gives your kids the chance to help make some fun holiday decorations that double as wonderful works of art to gift friends and family.
We have talked handprints and footprints…now let us talk thumbprints! Preserve your child’s tiny thumb or fingerprints in pendant form. These cute homemade clay gifts can be turned into a charm, ornament, or keychain that loved ones will cherish.
Your little one will always be top of mind for the lucky recipient of this goes-everywhere homemade gift. Your tot just needs to plant their little hand on a Shrinky Dinks sheet; adults take care of the rest.
