Do you love giving children books as gifts? We sure do. I also like making homemade toys. Here are some gift ideas that combine the two – a favorite picture book and a homemade toy to go with it! Of course, you can always buy a coordinating toy, especially as a last minute gift, but that’s not quite as fun as making a personalized toy for a little friend. We’ve given book and homemade toy combo gifts as birthday and Christmas presents before. Here are a few ideas.
