Christmas is a time for giving. There are tons of wonderful gift ideas that kids can make, but not all of them are classroom-friendly. Many projects are designed for doing at home, but these activities and gifts will all work in a classroom as well. Many are simple, easy-prep, and can be done in a group setting with supplies commonly found in the classroom. Make these homemade Christmas gifts with your class this year and your kids will have tons of fun giving them to family and friends!

*Pair with our Christmas Centers and Activities for Pre-K & Kindergarten!
