If you are making things for the children, fabric tic tack toe boards with huge buttons are fun (or checkerboards). Baby bibs, burp cloths, receiving blankets, quilts, etc. diaper bags, winter hats made of fleece or knitted or crocheted. If you are looking to make things for the kids to purchase for others, placemats, mug rugs, bookmarks, little bags, small purses, dog and cat toys or bandannas, small inexpensive items that older kids would enjoy.
