There's nothing that Grandma wants more for Christmas and birthdays than a gift made by her grandchildren. Here are 10 super fun and useful DIY Gift Ideas for Grandma that kids can make – yay! There are a lot of useful gifts on this list. I'm a sucker for useful gifts so you'll see many DIY gift ideas below that Grandma can actually use. No knickknacks here to clutter up Grandma's shelves.
DIY gift ideas for Grandma that all ages of kids can make
I've included DIY gift ideas for grandparents that all ages of kids can make, from toddlers to teens. After each idea, I've included the age that I would recommend for each craft project, like preschoolers, toddlers, ages 2-5, ages 6-9, tweens, and teens. There's a bunch of easy DIY gift ideas and some more involved handmade gift ideas, too. Many of these gifts can be made in one sitting. Siblings can help each other, too. Be sure to add my printable mitten gift tags when wrapping her gift. Are you ready to make a handmade gift for Grandma?

Grandmas love to display photos of their grandkids! Decorate a photo frame with pieces of masking tape.

Kids love to tie-dye! Pick up a pack of white cloth napkins and make a set of pretty tie-dye napkins for Grandma. You'll likely have enough dye left over for the kids to make some tie-dye t-shirts for themselves. This kids craft is probably best for age 7 and up, and tweens and teens really, really love it.

Fruit & Veggie Stamping – Tote Bags or Kitchen Hand Towels
Grab some onions, a carrot, potatoes, celery, or apples to make fruit & veggie stamped DIY gifts. Fruit & veggie stamping is super easy and fun to do.

This craft idea is great for all ages – toddler, kindergarten, ages 6-9, tween, and teen.

DIY Paper Bead Jewelry
Making DIY paper beads is super addictive. See how to cut long triangles and wind them up to make paper beads. Make a couple of paper beads and you've got a necklace. Make a whole bunch of paper beads and you can make Grandma a bracelet. This kid's craft activity is a great way to use up paper scraps and is best suited for age 8 and up, tweens, and definitely teens who may make one piece of jewelry for Grandma and one for themselves.

DIY Lemon and Oatmeal Soap
Making handmade soap doesn't have to be difficult — just start with a good melt-and-pour soap base and get creative in your combinations. This DIY gift idea involves melting soap so the adults will want to do the pouring for younger kids. All ages can measure ingredients, grate the lemon, and add the goodies into the soap mold. This craft idea is good for pre-school kids and older.
