One very pretty homemade ornament can be done by using a clear glass ball ornament (maybe plastic for younger ones) and then paint is dropped through opening in top and ball is then swirled or rolled around to spread the paint...then coordinating ribbons or fabric scraps are tied to top.
Another easy idea.....
ornaments made using beads and pipecleaners....the easiest of these is a canycane and one really nice one is a star.
The site below has lots of ideas...maybe you can have a couple different ones they can make or chose from.
Gingerbread always makes yummie smelling ornaments.
