DIY Gift Tags
DIY gift tags make any holiday gift more special. Invite your child to complete your family's holiday gifts with the perfect DIY gift tags created from the comfort of your own home. This is a great way to recycle last year's holiday cards, or you can even go out into nature to find some unique natural materials. These DIY gift tags will help your child have some holiday fun while developing fine motor skills.

Nature-Inspired Gift Tag
What You Need:
- Leaves
- Metallic gold pen
- Hole punch (optional)
- Curling ribbon (optional)
What You Do:
- Take your child on a walk around a neighborhood where there are an abundance of leaves. Try a nearby park if it is convenient.
- Invite your child to gather a bag full of leaves on his walk, taking care to pick the prettiest ones that he would like to use for gift tags.
- Ask him to use the metallic pen to write the "to" and "from" information onto the leaves.
- Punch a hole into the leaf (if desired) and attach a piece of curling ribbon through the hole.
Re-purposed Holiday Cards
Holiday cards are ideal to re-use as gift tags as many contain great images or words that can be cut out and affixed to the tags.
What You Need:
- Assortment of old holiday cards
- Scissors
- Card stock paper
- Glue
- Pen
What You Do:
- Have your child look through the holiday cards to find pictures or phrases that can be used on the gift tags.
- Help him cut the images and phrases out.
- Cut the card stock into gift-tag size. (Some may need to be larger than others, depending upon the size of the images.)
- Have your child glue the images and words onto the card stock.
- Use a pen or metallic marker to write the "to" and "from" information onto the tag.
Holiday Sticker Gift Tag
Chances are you have an assortment of holiday stickers around the house. If not, old bits of gift bags or wrapping paper will work just as well to create more recycled, but festive gift tags.
What You Need:
- Assortment of old stickers or scraps of wrapping paper
- Scissors
- Card stock paper
- Glue
- Pen
What You Do:
- Have your child cut out holiday images from the wrapping paper or a different source if you are not using stickers.
- Cut the card stock into gift-tag size. (Some may need to be larger than others, depending upon the size of the images.)
- Have your child glue the images and words onto the card stock.
- Use a pen to write the "to" and "from" information onto the tag.
