This book has lots of easy ideas for Christmas crafting projects with kids. My niece and I made many of the projects and sold them at a small craft bazaar. Some of the projects also make very nice gifts.

I LOVE this book!! All of the projects in here are done with easy to find and inexpensive materials, most of which you probably already have in your home. They are also done on a resonable timeline. Sometimes I find that crafts take too long and my kids lose interest, but these take just the right amount of time. A few of them can be done without adult supervision if you have older children. The Christmas boxes are staying closed up this year and we have challenged ourselves to make it a 'homemade holiday' because of this book!!
