Update: I just thought of one more easy idea for a Christmas kit. Collect supplies for a PVC Bubble Wand. Add a small bottle of Dawn and a bottle of corn syrup to make Super Bubbles. Add colorful straws and pipe cleaners. Send this Bubble link to mom. Super Bubbles are always a hit.
I’ve been writing about homemade Christmas science kits here, here, and here. How about a few more ideas? Put together a fidget gadget kit. Here and here are loads of suggestions from DIY stress balls to penny spinners. Collect colorful paper, balloons, pennies, Orbeez, etc, all the materials with instructions. You might just send the parent the links with instructions, too. Great gifts don’t need to break the bank.
Good Will offers loose LEGOs by the pound. (Always check the shipping before you bid!) Add a LEGO book and wait for the compliments.
What about making a Marshmallow Blow Gun Christmas kit? Collect the PVC parts at Lowe’s and add a bag of marshmallows. What about a bird box? Here are plans if you have scrap wood. You may want a Lowe’s kit. Add a book to your gift box. I buy and give used books as presents all the time. I try to find nicer copies. You’re going to have the best Christmas!
