ideas for young children exchanging gifts?

[mtemm]

I'm toying with the idea of having the kids make things for each other for christmas. I figure it would be nice to get them more involved in the giving aspect, not just the receiving. just not sure what that might be. I know I would prefer they make something, rather than just picked something out at the store. I think DS4 would have a fun time putting together coloring books for the twins (age 2)...he loves to find things to color online (disney/noggin have lots of pages you can print) and I figure he could pick a few pages out and we could bind them together into little books, with a title page, from daniel to katie, from daniel to andrew. but I'd like to have the twins do something for him, too, but what could they do? they are so young, I'm not sure what they could do to surprise him. any ideas?

does 'big brother' like a certain cookie or treat you bake? if so you could make a batch and have the little ones pour in some of the (premeasured) ingredients.

They could make him an ornament.
Have them both put their handprints on, and you can write their names and date it.
