Christmas ideas
Our village is collecting parcels for children in hospital during Christmas Day.
I am okay with ages 1,2,3, 4,5,6, and 13-18
My problem is 7-13 for both boys and girls. I have until 7th December to complete.
So far knitted jumper for 1 2 year olds 3,4, quilt pirates and fairies 5 6 a toy pirate ship and a doll dressing.
13-18 quilts in bright colours black or white background.
Thought about a bag full of colouring pens etc for girls in 7-13 but no idea at all for boys which is quilted. Only intend to give one set presents purchased rest home made.
Thank you for your help I don't want to ask locally as I want the gifts to be anonymous to local villagers.

How about small tote bags for them - or any size actually. You could also make fleece toboggans.
We are making these for Occupational Christmas Child (if anyone has a yard of any kind of fabric, we would appreciate it.)

Most 7-13 year old girls and boys would be interested in a creative gift. The colored pens would be perfect for both, and could be used for school projects also! (And who knows, you may just inspire the next Rembrandt...)

I made these bags for my 8 & 10 year old great nephews. They loved them. Great for their small Gameboys or legos. They stay on while they skateboard. http://www.sewmamasew.com/2012/04/fa...-bag-tutorial/

Boys of all ages, and a lot of girls love nerf guns. Small Lego kits, usually go over pretty well too. How about a tye dye kit with a couple of white shirts for the girls. The coverd journal idea is awesome if you want to kick it up add a set of colored gel pens. There are also book/kits you can buy on folding paper airplanes or origami those are really cool too.
