To make a homemade batch of squeaky-clean monster puke, mix together 2 cups of olive oil, ½ cup of honey, 1 cup of shower gel (any scent or variety), and 1 teaspoon of green food coloring. Pour the mixture into pint size jars, and add plastic monsters, eyeballs, or plastic spiders to the mix. Label the jar, and present it to the boys on your gift list along with a bath puff. This homemade birthday gift will definitely be a hit!
Travel Kit for Boys
Kids don’t usually like taking long trips, and a homemade travel kit for boys is a great birthday gift idea for kids who frequently travel with mom and dad. What better way to pass the time than with a box full of fun activities and challenging games?
Collecting insects is a fun activity for boys, and a homemade insect collection kit is a birthday gift idea that will thrill any boy who enjoys finding and collecting creepy crawly bugs. Boys will spend hours on end catching fireflies, pill bugs, caterpillars, and all sorts of tiny creatures.
To put together homemade bug collection kits to give to boys on your gift list, purchase a small fish net from the pet supply section of your local discount store, a magnifying glass, and a clear plastic pitcher with a turning lid. The lid can be turned to the open side to add bugs to the container, and the slotted side of the lid will provide plenty of air for the tiny inhabitants. Include a pocket guide to insects to complete this fun homemade birthday gift for boys who aren’t afraid of bugs.
