I need your help!!!

I am all in the crafty mood since super saturday today! So here is my thinking...

A few years ago for Christmas I made my son this to play cars on.
It included all the places we went in calgary including cousins houses and where we lived. Not my best peice of work, (I never finished the edges or finished coloring it) but my mom made one for my brother when he was little and I remember playing with that thing ALOT!!
So, I want to start a tradition. Every year I want to hand make one thing for each person in my immediate family. So, any ideas for Kyla, Tommy and the hardest... Barry!
Here are a few of my ideas for Kyla

Fun Crayons from molds.

Play make-up. It hardens so it's just for pretend :)

I could do, eye shadow, blush, foundation etc...



or a quiet book for church, either soft or with pictures representing church things from A-Z

Here are my ideas for Tommy


A magnet board for his room, but more boyish (in a vintage sport theme)

A personalized memory game with pictures of him with friends family etc...

A notebook, that I personalize for him (he loves notebooks for some reason!) mod podge my own paper on etc...And get him some cool pens.


I am quite stumped with what to do for Barry.

For him I was thinking, maybe go to a pottery decorating place and make him a special "Dallas Cowboys" plate that he can eat off of when he watches the game! He is the biggest fan ever!!
What do you think?
Thanks

Great ideas. I bring a photo album with family pictures to church and it keeps Henry interested for a very long time. Today he was silent forever while we flipped through the Gospel Art Kit. You could make them their own church bags.

I actually think that is an amazing idea for Barry!

I crocheted a afaghan for Richard the first Christmas we were married. He still snuggles under it when he is cold.

You could tie a fun quilt for each member of the family.

I knew someone who had a special quilt for their kids that they only got to use when Mom or Dad was reading them their bedtime story.
