Christmas Gifts that a Preschooler can make

I'm looking for ideas for DD to make for her grandparents and aunts and uncles this year.

Last year we did ornament bulbs with her handprint on them and a little poem to go with it. Everyone loved it.

What are you all having your children make and/or give?

    You could get wooden picture frames from a craft store (usually around $1) and have her decorate with paint, glitter glue, stick on gems, foam shapes, etc.  Oh, I also had our play group kids decorate plain mugs (also from craft store for $1, including 4 special permanent markers) as gifts for Father's Day.

    We're making these beaded wreath & candy cane ornaments. My mom had us make them one year as kids and she still has them. :)

    I haven't been able to get DS to string more than a dozen beads on one pipe cleaner (he thinks he's done), so I keep giving him the same ones, figuring over time he'll eventually fill them.

    My older children are making Cookie and Brownie mix in a jar. They can paint and decorate the jars and then you can measure out the ingredients that go in it and let them pour them in!

    I got a great idea from a speaker at my MOPS group a couple of weeks ago.  I bought some canvases from Michael's (small, inexpensive ones), some cheap paintbrushes, and I let DD pick out four acrylic paint colors, and I'm going to have her paint a masterpiece for the ILs, DH, and my mom for Christmas.  The speaker said to ask your kiddo what they want to "call" their masterpiece once they're done painting it, and then you write the date, title, and the kid's name on the wooden part of the canvas in Sharpie.  SO CUTE, and extremely cheap (I think broken down, the total cost for each person for this gift is about $5).
