Parents and grandparents love receiving handmade gifts from their kids during the holidays. One of my favorite gifts from my kids are the handmade ornaments with their school pictures on them. I put these away with the Christmas storage but every year when I pull them out to display on our tree, it brings back a nostalgic feeling (while also reminding me how fast my little ones grow up!). To help you create those keepsakes and memories (as a gift for yourself or loved ones), I decided to put together this list with 24  Easy Christmas Craft Gift Ideas for Kids to Make!
