Children love to make gifts!
Here is an easy gift idea for children to make for a special girl in their life (mom, grandma, sister, caretaker, therapist, bus driver, etc.).

Pumpkin Pie Body Scrub

Supplies:

2 Cups brown sugar
1 Cup white sugar
1 Tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 cup plus 1 Tablespoon sunflower oil or regular vegetable oil
Containers with air-tight lids (we used baby food jars)

Optional: fabric or wrapping paper and ribbon

Directions:

Mix sugars and pumpkin pie spice together being sure to break up all lumps. Add oil and mix well.

Fill jars with body scrub mix and seal tight. Decorate jars with fabric or paper and ribbon.

You can also add a tag to label the mix.

Supplies:
Cucumber slices
Yellow & orange pepper slices
Grape or cherry tomato halves
Celery slice
Carrot slices

Directions:
Arrange sliced cucumbers into the shape of a Christmas tree. Add celery and/or carrots to the bottom for the tree trunk. Decorate tree with tomatoes and peppers.

Supplies:

Regular size marshmallows
Thin pretzel sticks
Pull and peel red licorice
Whole cloves (we used for eyes: potential choking hazard-supervise children when using)
Chocolate chips

Directions:
Lay out the supplies and allow children to use their imagination to build a reindeer with the supplies.

Snowman Gift Bag

Supplies:

White paper bag
Construction paper
Scissors
Glue
Googly eyes

Directions:

Fold down a small portion of top of bag. Cut out a hat, nose, buttons, and mouth (my little helper did not want her snowman to have a mouth) from construction paper and glue on to paper bag to create a snowman (younger children may need pieces pre-cut out). Add googly eyes for eyes. Perfect bag to send home a special gift for parents!
