Actually, I talked with DDs yesterday and since my girls love to tie dye we are going to tie dye some pjs or t-shirts for the kids using their favorite colors. It is not that expensive and will be fun to do. We'll buy the t-shirts/bottoms at Target. The tie dye kits are something like $10 at Michaels. Another great very, very inexpensive gift is salt dough ornaments. We have done these in the past and have "embellished" them in many ways - paint, beads, ribbon, etc. We have also used the salt dough to make animal finger puppets and a mouse "paper doll" with clothes for my sisters kids. They loved them and out of all their gifts they played with these the most. |

I'll have to get my recipe out. I think it is a ratio of 1:1:1 (1 cup flour, 1 cup salt, and 1 cup water). If you heat the water and dissolve the salt it makes a smoother dough.

They loved them. Another thing they loved was goofy things to hang on their doorknobs (like do not disturb, only kid style). My 8 yr old neice is big on kid crafts, and I just got her a bunch of jewelry beading stuff for her BDay. She loveloveloves it. And it was a ton of stuff for under $10. Her grandma made a doll sized quilt for her doll which was a big hit with all the little girls at her party. I'm going to crochet a baby doll pillow and blanket for my granddaughter's dolls. A mini diaper bag would be cool too.
