Diy Easy Birthday Presents for 8 Year Old

Thinking about making some cool DIY Christmas presents or homemade birthday gifts for kids? Good idea! After all, so many of today's toys are not quite made the way they used to be. Plus, a homemade toy or DIY children's gift is so much more special. Make something original, unique and sure to be enjoyed by all. Parents absolutely love it when people take the time to make something for their little darlings, so if you have some gifts to buy for friend's kids, nieces, nephews and/or grandchildren, why not consider making them this year?

I think this may be the cutest DIY idea for kids Christmas presents that I've ever seen. This cool little workbench is adorable, but also easy and inexpensive. I made one of these for my nephew's birthday gift last year and both he and his father enjoy having him be able to work right next to Dad in the garage. They sent me a picture of the workbench right next to his Dad's workbench with my little darling boy standing there with his little leather tool belt I made him last year and you would not believe how unbelievably cute it was! By using an upcycled old end table, some pegboard, and your inner creative genius that we all possess, you can make this awesome DIY workbench for kids in about an hour.

I have always remembered the dollhouse my father made for me as a little girl and thought how nice it would be to do the same for my daughter. However, I am afraid I don't have the amount of time it takes to make an elaborate dollhouse as he did, nor do I have the woodworking skills to do so. However, when I saw this fun and easy DIY idea for a homemade dollhouse made from a CD shelf, I rethought this. I can do this one! (and I did) Half the fun of making a dollhouse is decorating it inside with little tiny furniture, appliances, and people. If you are a crafter like me and need a cool but easy dollhouse to put your handmade little accessories in, here's the one.

On rainy cold days indoor games are a must, my kids had 3 snow days this year already and they don't like TV much so this indoor hopscotch mat was the perfect solution to our Winter woes.

My children and I attended a puppet show in England last Summer and they were mesmerized. I realized this was a very cool thing we were missing Stateside. One day while reminiscing about Punch and Judy and Lambchops, we decided to just make our own. Dad cut the wood for us and we attached some black paper to the front, then my daughter found an old Halloween costume which made lovely theater curtains. The kids are now writing the plays, learning to ad-lib like the pros and its standing room only in the playroom.
