Gift Guides: Crafty Kids

Some of my favorite gifts to give children are craft-related. Give them something they can do with mom or dad on those cold winter days that lie ahead. And really, who can resist the smell of a fresh box of crayons?


Kits and machines:

1. Alex My Crafty Kit

2. Kids Arts & Crafts: Kids Fingerpaint Art Set

3. Kids' Imaginary Play: Kids Animal Paper Bag Puppets

4. Discovery Sticker Maker

5. Crayola Crayon Maker

6. Design Your Own Pinwheel - Kit for 24

And now, some crafty stocking-stuffers for those little mongrels:

1. Mr. Sketch Scented Markers - Set of 12 

2. Deluxe Watercolor Set

3. Crayola TaDoodles™ Tub Crayons

4. Crayola® Crayons - 96 ct.

5. Jumbo Paint Brush Set

6. Washable Scented Dabber Dot Markers - Set of 10

I still remember the first time I unwrapped a box of new Mr. Sketch markers. Pure bliss. And I would have gone bonkers over those dabber dots as a kid. (Confession: if Santa brought those to our house, Hudson might have a hard time getting them away from me).
