Christmas Gifts for Children 2021

Dear users, dear authors,
Download great patterns for Christmas gifts for children now. Have fun crafting.

@Authors,
no quantity limit. Don’t forget links, images, info, etc.

You can crochet this great Mouse Hunt board game  (for up to 4 players) yourself using colorful leftover yarn.With the cute game pieces (4 kittens and 13 mice), the game is especially fun! The goal is to catch as many mice as possible. But they can also be snatched away from you again. Whoever catches the Mouse King has an advantage, but you can lose him too.


If the play kitchen or children's grocery store needs to be stocked with fruit and vegetables, you can also wonderfully crochet the pieces using your existing leftover yarn.
In my shop you can choose from crochet patterns for the

Colorful Fruit Crate.
It includes the pattern for 12 different types of fruit: apples, pears, peach, grapes, bananas, kiwi, plums, oranges, lemons, cherries, pineapple, and watermelon.


If you only want a small berry basket, then I recommend this pattern. In addition to the instructions for the basket, you'll find the pattern for raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, red currants, strawberries, and cherries.


You can also crochet a basket with 9 types of vegetables    ( carrots, bell peppers, tomatoes, eggplants, zucchini, leeks, kohlrabi, corn, and cauliflower) for the children's kitchen. It also works well as fall decoration, e.g. for Thanksgiving.


What little boy wouldn't want to own a toy train, even if he's still very small? But little girls can also get excited about this crocheted train, because all their little dolls can ride along in the cars.
You can purchase the patterns individually, so

the pattern for the locomotive
or

the pattern for the train car
which can also be designed as a circus wagon or construction trailer.
Or you can choose the
Train Saver Set
where you get both patterns together right away.




Unicorns are still very popular, especially with little girls. You can really ride on the Hobby Horse Unicorn Violetta . A soft pool noodle is used as the stick here to avoid damage to furniture or injuries during wild play.

Babies want to get Christmas presents too!


Music boxes are especially popular, of course, because they help little ones fall asleep. This cute lamb music box becomes especially cuddly if you use teddy yarn. So that the stitches are easier to see, I always crochet this yarn together with a thin carry-along yarn in a similar color. Then the stitches are easier to see and, if necessary, also to feel. But of course you can also crochet the lamb with a "normal" yarn of similar thickness.


The cuddly bunny Hoppel
and
Cuddly cat Mauzi

are crocheted using the same principle as a cuddle cloth, where the body is not stuffed. This makes it easier for the baby to grasp the little animal. Three kinds of yarn are used here: thin chenille yarn for the head, paws, and tail, and cotton yarn and teddy yarn for the body. The different textures of the yarns encourage the baby to explore the cuddly toy by touch again and again.


And for anyone who doesn't just want to cuddle, but also wants to be nice and warm in their little bed, these two are perfect:
Warm Bear Kuschel (cover for a grain pillow)
and
Warm Monkey Bibo (cover for a grain pillow)
The grain pillow is removed from the animal's belly and warmed in the microwave for a few minutes. Then it goes back into the little animal's belly and can now warm up the little bed. Also highly recommended for a walk in the frosty winter or for tummy aches!

How about a cute cuddle cloth that can later also be used as a gentle washcloth? The wonderful animal motifs will make children’s eyes light up. All the cloths shown are knitted in double-face, which makes them cuddly soft, and they also look great on both sides.

A little more elaborate to make, but a big highlight under the Christmas tree, is this gym bag "Life is magic." The base is crocheted in rounds, and everything else is knitted in double-face. This makes the gym bag very sturdy, and it will become a loyal companion for every unicorn fan!

Have lots of fun giving them as gifts!

Hand puppets handmade by mom, grandma, or a favorite aunt are something very special! You can crochet them mostly from leftover yarn.
In my shop, you'll find the following patterns for hand puppets:
Kasperl
Gretel
Seppel
Grandmother
Robber
Crocodile
These 6 puppets are also available as a Basic Set Bundle

Then there is also the Royal Family Bundle
These 3 patterns are also available individually:
Princess
King

Witch

Devil
Angel
Angel and Devil are also available together as a bundle

Here are some suggestions for cozy winter accessories that children are sure to love for Christmas—they not only keep them nice and warm, but also look super cute. The loops and hats are all knitted in double-face. This makes them extra dense, and they look great on both sides, so they can be turned inside out too.

And the enchanting cowl with little bear cub Tobi is a very special Christmas gift. Little Tobi, snuggled up close to his mom, finally gets to experience snow! Maybe that's a good omen for a "White Christmas"?

Enjoy crocheting and giving them as gifts!

Especially for toddlers, there are lots of ideas for things that could delight them. Toys can also be knitted or crocheted nicely. Here you’ll find a few models to choose from.

For the play kitchen, you can conjure up a great menu for the dolls using leftover yarn. It sparks the little ones’ imagination and is sure to bring joy—even while crocheting. The menu includes everything children tend to like: toast with butter and a fried egg, pasta, and vegetables.
