Its for our post-xmas thingy. We do the 12 days of xmas, 12 days of small presents on the tree.

I have a 2 yo dd and a 4 yo ds.

I don't want lots of plastic landfill. Actually if I can avoid buying stuff, that would be best...

So far on my list I have

seeds
origami boat
cookie cutter each

um

thats it

Thoughts?

What a lovely idea!

A pretty bauble for each of them, that can then go on the tree each year.

A tiny envelope with a note inside saying what you love about them today! (Or is that too cheesy)!

A paper snowflake, or paper for them to make one.

A paper chain of angels.

Do they stay on the tree all through, or get added ready for each morning? If the latter, a special muffin or croissant for brekkie one day.

Mini pot of jam or honey.

Bag of dried mango or box of raisins.

What a lovely idea charlieandlolasmummy.

Perhaps you could give them a plain bauble and let them decorate them with glitter glue!

A set of crayons
