Stocking Stuffers You Can Make for the Kids

• 12 years ago

Here are five simple and easy stocking stuffers you can make for the kids. Added bonus — all of these are either free or very low-cost!! Yay for frugal and quick crafts!

1. Story Stones — A great way to encourage creativity and imagination! ((Thank you to Stacy from KSW for the idea to use story stones as stocking stuffers.))

2. Felt Pasta — Try cutting a sheet of ivory-colored felt into thin strips and presto! Instant fettuccine! Feeling more ambitious? Felt bow tie pasta and ravioli are quick beginner sewing projects.

3. Handmade Scratch Art Pages — Super easy to make!

4. Random Awesomeness — Some ideas include a sheet of bubble wrap rolled up and tied with a bow ((my kids love popping the stuff!)), a few sheets of color coding labels, tissue paper flowers, a small snack.

5. Pasta Necklace/Bracelet Kit — Die up some pasta, add a bit of string pre-knotted on one end with a bit of tape on the other end for easy beading.

Simple, easy, and very frugal!
