handmade stocking fillers/advebt presents

boredjellybean

Hi there,

I'm trying to come up with some ideas of things I can make as stocking fillers & advent presents (we have a fabric advent calendar & I wrap little things to go in there) my children are aged baby (she wont get much lol) 4, 10 & 12

So far I've thought of making;
friendship bracelet kit
gingerbread man kit (made from felt to be sewn & decorated)
recipe card (so they can bake a treat)
yarn ornaments
hot choc kit (in a cellophane cone)
homemade playdough
felt finger puppets

any other ideas out there please!!!!

what a lovely idea. How about:
worry dolls or dollys made out of a peg?
a little musical instrument (basically a bell on a bracelet like you get round the neck of the lindt bunnies)
a cooky cutter
customised crayons with their names on (basically scrape off with a knife down to the wood and write them on in silver pen) so they don't nick each others'
ornament made out of pebbles or shells from the beach

Good luck x

Thanks kittycatface I especially like the cookie cutter idea & I might also include some cake toppers/decorations

There's got to be one edible thing in there as well - home made sweets such as coconut ice or peppermint creams?

Oh yes the stockings will have a satsuma & some sweets/chocolates
The advent calendar I'll do a mix over advent of handmade gifts & chocolates
