Christmas gift ideas for children

The ELSA Group put together a list of items that could be given as a ‘Christmas Survival Kit’.

I have made some labels which are editable. You can put whatever you want into your Christmas Survival kit. You can spend as little or as much as you like. I have put some Amazon links in this post if I think they are a good price. Obviously smarties, starburst can be bought cheaper at the supermarket and bath bombs could be made. Google for a recipe. They are really easy to make. If you purchase things from Amazon through these links I get a tiny bit of commission and it doesn’t cost you anymore. This helps me to develop new resources and maintain the website.

Here are some organza bags that might be helpful for packaging. There are loads of different sizes on Amazon if you want to explore further but these are reasonably big.

Please click here to download the WORD DOCUMENT. Click the text and type. Choose some of these below and don’t forget to write who it is from.  I used Comic sans for the text but you can change it to what ever you would like.
