The holidays can do some hardcore damage on your wallet and bank account, so why not take the time to make some DIY toys for tots for your children? Not only can these gifts still be loads of fun, they can also become sentimental valuables for your kids as they get older.
From DIY celeb dolls to DIY foam-shooting machine guns, there are no DIY toys for tots that you can't make yourself!
Implications - Consumers enjoy the act of crafting their own products because they feel the extra effort required to assemble the item enhances its intrinsic value. Corporations may consider letting consumers assemble goods on their own in order to satiate consumer desire to make products.
