The last part to our holiday gift giving guide is for the little ones. Finding gifts for babies, toddlers and kids is easy peasy - we know that. But finding something unique, handmade and that supports our local makers, well, that can be easy peasy too. Because we've put together this really fun gift guide that is full of some really great items for those little ones you need to shop for.

1 | We're starting off with the littlest on your list. The NOVA Silicone Teething Ring from Wilde Baby and Co. is perfectly neutral for any little one. 

2 | Do you have a little princess at home? Check out the Floral Crown Headband from Madelyn + Dot Handmade  - the perfect accessory for dress up or play. 

3 | Looking for a gift that grows with them? The Stacking Wood Mountains from Wild Wonder Co. will take them from tot to school age, as they grow with their learning and exploring stages. 

4 | Know a little Star Wars fan?? Then we've found the perfect gift - a Crocheted Baby Yoda from Amanda C Crafts.

5 | The gift that all kids put on their list, and is great for the stockings too - grab some Plant Based Dyed Dough from  Play Grow. It'll keep them busy for hours! 

6 | Have a little one on your list that doesn't open gifts yet? Grab a Macrame Rainbow - the perfect keepsake gift and the cutest decor for years to come. Shop now at Bowen Co.

7 | We're loving the Rainbow Acorns from Whiskey Rose Studio. They're cute for learning colours and small fingers to grab and explore.

8 | Grab some Felted Wool Hearts from Coastal Felting. One, they're great for little hands and two, how cute would these be strung into a garland once they've outgrown them - creating the perfect decor. 

9 | Have a little one that loves their stuffed toys? Check out the Crocheted Lennie the Lama from Ava & Evey. Too cute and one they'll keep for years.

10 | Grab the cutest Wood Stacking Gnomes from Create & Play Co. Another great gift that sparks creativity and exploring for all different ages.

11 | If you're looking for natural, eco-friendly, imaginative play then Creating Explorations has you covered. Checkout their Christmas Playdough and other exploration kits.

12 | Stop by Trouvaille Décor for Wood Teepee Shelves that will look great in any room makeover or for the newest addition's nursery.

13 | Have a little one who loves her hair bows? Check out the Wildflower Wall Hanging for Bows - the cutest decor and bow organizer. Stop by Dolores Jane Designs to gift one to that special little one.

14 | Hair accessories are a must stocking stuffer or gift topper. Check out the Christmas Print Hair Bow Bands from Dawn & Ruby Designs to add to her collection. 

15 | There are so many gifts that allow for exploring and imaginative play. The Christmas Exploration Kit from Grace and Rose Valley Creations is another that will keep them learning and playing for hours. 

16 | Keep them warm this winter, we are in Canada after all. The Rainbow Knit Sweater from Matilda Street looks so cozy warm and perfect for our Canadian winters.

17 | Little ones love to touch, feel and play as they learn of their surroundings. Check out Crinkle Taggy Toy from Homemade by Janine for those little ones of your list.

18 | The more bows the better. Every little girl has a collection, and you can add more to hers with the Elegant Hair Bows from Scarlett Dove.

19 | Know a little one that's teething. The Bubble Tea Teether from  MJ Made That is absolutely the cutest and perfect little accessory.

This round up has been so much fun. We wish we were little again so we could receive these unique handmade gifts for babies, toddlers and kids. There are so many amazing items to choose from. We hope you'll be able to get a few more names ticked off your Christmas list.

In case you missed it, we also have a Handmade Gift Guide for Her and a Handmade Gift Guide for Him. Get all of your shopping done with small shops that are Canadian. Finding unique and personalized gifts has never been so easy!
