I have to have shopping done by Thanksgiving and I am at a loss

I got a wool earth ball kit for one neice but really think I'd like some neat kits for all of the kids. So, what do you make (or who do you know who makes) kits for kids? Or what can I slap together myself

Its real easy to make a kit!
if you are just making one or two..you might feel ok finding the instructions on line. I got permission to use the bendy instructions here from danielle one.
simple instructions to felt or make a simple sewn dolly are easy.

*Knitting kits;peace fleece has adorable (but small) children's kits. something to check out for inspiration.
*Beading kits.
*Tenderfoot kit. Think old summer camp necklaces. This one is just a slice of a tree branch, make a hole to string a necklace, include animal foot prints and blk marker....so they can put their own "mark" on their necklace. You can also include leather cut outs for a drawstring pouch. The chamois leather in the automotive department is the perfect color for pouches and EASY to work with. You may have to prepunch holes tho since it *is* leather. It's just really easy to cut.
*scrapbooking/stationary kit. A personalized stamp (we've done that here already. lol) pretty paper, album, etc...

OVERLOAD!

See, I am super crafty and have tons upon tons (like you do) of craft supplies so when my neices come they think we need to sepnd the entir visit crafting. But, I am not in the mood to create the kits because I have less than a month.

I'll look around for the stuff mentioned though and see if I can make it painless. The necklace idea would be great for the boys I think. And I completely forgot that the last visit madi was playing with the bendy stuff the entire time.

And I had to laugh at Katie's leather comments. I have a few thousand dollars worth of leather here (I make shoes) so I suppose I could spare a teeny little bit... maybe... if I'm feeling generous

lol. I totally forgot that you're versed in the leather department.
