Crayola Ultimate Art Supply Case-Colors May Vary Right now
I have twin grand nieces they are 9 years old. I got them each the Crayoa Ultimate Art Supply Case-plus a drawing pad for Christmas. They told me they really liked their gifts. I read that art supplies was the number one children gift that was given as a gift at Christmas time. When I purchased this for them at the time I did not realize they would like the Crayola Ultimate Art Supply gifts so much. It gave them a chance to be little creative artist's.Crayola Ultimate Art Supply Case-Colors May VaryGet more detail about Crayola Ultimate Art Supply Case-Colors May Vary.
Lowest Price Crayola Model Magic 2 lb Bucket Assorted Colors
This is a really great product. It doesn't make a mess and the way the colors can be combined without melding together makes it so much more fun than playdoh. It's great for airplane or train rides. My son (3) and my daughter (6) both played with it for much longer than they will normally play with toys. Make sure you bring have individual baggies for each color because they dry out fast if you don't keep them in a baggy. Crayola advertises this as an advantage because you can make a figure and leave it out to dry without using an oven to "set" it.Get more detail about Crayola Model Magic 2 lb Bucket Assorted Colors.

Low Price Alex Car Valet
I liked the idea of this tray for my 2-year old daughter for long car trips. It is soft, so it can't injure her in an accident, but the tray is durable. The problem might be my specific car design. When it hangs off the back of the front seat, it seats too low and my daughter kept hitting it with her legs. My husband tried to adjust it, but with no success.Get more detail about Alex Car Valet.
Save Iwako Japanese Panda Erasers - 6 pcs
These tiny pandas are adorable, sweet and cute. If they also work as erasers, I'm sure that will be a bonus. My two granddaughters (ages 8 and 9) are much more interested in the shapes and precious expressions than to use them as anything except toys. They do come apart, but that is not of any interest to my girls.
It would be good for parents to know before they purchase these items that they are, indeed, tiny. Each panda is 1 inch tall. Not very big at all and probably best avoided by really young children. Each panda comes individually packaged. I placed my order on a Friday evening through Amazon and this product was in my mailbox the next Wednesday, shipped by Daniel's House. That is excellent service.
I would imagine the pandas will be shared with friends, but they would also make great party favors for any birthday celebration. I ordered one set each of the pandas, hamsters and sea mates. They make for a very colorful and sweet assortment.Get more detail about Iwako Japanese Panda Erasers - 6 pcs.
Discount Aquadoodle Draw N Doodle S10
This is a great toy. My two and a half year old loves playing with it. I recently purchased it for a gift for a two year old and his mother tells me he plays with it all the time. Great for the beginning artist with a mom who doesn't like mess!! Its lightweight and portable, too so easy to pack up and bring out with you. My son even knows how to fill up the water pen when it gets empty so he can draw relatively unsupervised without me worrying that he will color on my furniture.Get more detail about Aquadoodle Draw N Doodle S10.
Cheapest Giddy-up Mickey Water Wow Book Activity Book
I bought one of these at Target on a whim and it turned out to be a great purchase. There's not a lot of thought involved, you simply wipe the damp pen around on the pages and the color appears. But it has been wonderful for children that are interested in coloring but are still a little to young for crayons. Being that this is all water it is worry free and is very easy for travel. (I have often substituted the pen with one of the Aquadoodle ones because it's a little easier for some kids and colors more area more easily.)Get more detail about Giddy-up Mickey Water Wow Book Activity Book.

Where To Buy Crayola Color Wonder Mini Markers
Love these mini markers. Great size to keep in desk drawer for when grandkids come over. They do run out of ink a little faster, but all-in-all a great idea. Plus they fit well in little kids' hands. And, of course, one of the great pros is that the ink is clear coming out of the pen and then turns colors when it hits the Wonder paper. It is so great not having to worry about kids ruining clothing.Get more detail about Crayola Color Wonder Mini Markers.

Build A Birdhouse Review
This was a ton of fun to build with my daughters. The one thing I didn't do is test the paint for lead after we painted it. After all, it was made in China and you have to wonder about such bright colored paints. If anyone has a lead testing kit, it would make some sense to check the paint.Get more detail about Build A Birdhouse.

Orb Factory Sticky Mosaics: Dinosaurs Buy Now
TIP: It can be tedious to peel all the tiny backings off the sticky tiles. My 5 year old loves the project, but was quickly discouraged when having to stop and peel every single backing off. (It's hard, they are tiny!) I took some packing tape and taped the back of each block of tiles, essentially making the backing into one big piece. It's MUCH MUCH easier to peel the tiles off one solid backing that peeling each tiny backing off. My son LOVES it now and is looking forward to hanging them in his room when they are done.Get more detail about Orb Factory Sticky Mosaics: Dinosaurs.

My First Sticky Mosaics® Pets Right now
I highly recommend these. I bought these for my 3 year old grandson and he just loved them. They are easy for younger children since they are color and shape coded, so they don't have to know numbers or letters. When his 3, 4 and 5 year old friends saw them they wanted to do them also. (This kit comes with multiple pictures.) The pieces can be a bit difficult for a younger child to pull off the master sheet but are fairly easy to place onto the picture without assistance. If you are purchasing these for a 3 or 4 year old make sure you get the "MY FIRST" Sticky Mosaics as they contain larger pieces and so are easier for younger children to handle. (There are Sticky Mosaic kits for older kids and they are great also.)Get more detail about My First Sticky Mosaics® Pets.

Low Price Play-doh Spaghetti Factory
The kids liked this a lot because they could make fun shapes that they easily recognized as pasta and meatballs. Having the bowl for it to form into directly was a big plus. Wiggly spaghetti shapes made great worms, etc. too. I really liked this because even the littler ones could make the spaghetti. Only cons (and a minor one) were that it took me awhile to figure out how to set it up and had to be broken down and cleanup of the "machine" was a pain.Get more detail about Play-doh Spaghetti Factory.

Discount Crayola Model Magic Deluxe Variety Pack
This has got to be one of the best child's sculpting clay-like substances available. Our 8-year old played with this stuff at his art camp last summer and it was an instant success. Throughout the week, it was his absolutely most favorite thing to work with. We got him this bucket so that he could keep working with this at home and his creativity really showed through -- not only with the four basic colors but mixing them to make all the colors of the rainbow. He has now now worked through 3-4 buckets of this and his projects are consistently getting better, more interesting, and more complex as he learns to think ahead through the sculpting process.
The stuff is clean, does not smell, cleans up easily, and works well with fingers and tools. It will retain its pliancy for a long time in the bucket --- which means that it does take a while to lose its softness and stiffen up into a final product. On the whole, we highly, highly recommend this.Get more detail about Crayola Model Magic Deluxe Variety Pack.

Shop For Moon Sand Demolition Kit
My nephew (five y. o.) absolutely loves this product--and he's picky. Everything's cool about it. Except the price. I shelled out 40 odd dollars for it and found that most of the cash went toward the container, which is basically a small, plastic "sand box". I've since purchased extra moon sand at WalMart for around 7-10 dollars, so that means that the container is around 30 bucks. Way too much. But as I said, he loves it.Get more detail about Moon Sand Demolition Kit.
Silly Putty
Remember when you were little, how you could flatten Silly Putty out over the comic strips in the Sunday news paper and it would pick up the image? I got this for my 4 year old and was so disappointed with this product as it wouldn't pick up not one dot from the comics. All you can do with it is bounce it and stretch it. They had to have changed the formula or maybe they have changed the ink in the comics now days. Just not the same fun I remember. Sad but true.Get more detail about Silly Putty.
Create Your Own Pop-Up Books Review
This was the perfect choice to inspire one seven year old to create her own artistic displays. She made the decision to give it to her family on Valentine's Day and she spent three weeks happily engrossed. While the balance of this afterschool class (aged 5yr to 10yr) were simply onlookers, they all appreciated the major pop-up display, and especially liked the small note card and envelope that affixes to any page of your choice. I wanted this one slightly shy student to have a "badge of honor." Total success!Get more detail about Create Your Own Pop-Up Books.

Make a Wind Chime a 4M Kit from Toysmith Top Quality
My mother is very hard to shop for on Christmas and birthdays, so I bought this for my 5 yr old to make for Grandma for her upcomimg birthday. My mother has a collection of wind chimes on her back porch, and my daughter has always loved looking and listening to them. My daughter loved the idea of a wind chime SHE made hanging with the rest. She had a great time painting the chimes. I will have to assemble them for her, but, as the package says they are made for children 8 and over. Overall, we were very happy with this purchase. The only draw back is that the chimes are smaller than i thought they would be, each pot only about 3 - 3 1/2 in diameter. However, for a 5 yr old, they were the perfect size.Get more detail about Make a Wind Chime a 4M Kit from Toysmith.

Alex Toys Little Hands, Paper Bag Puppets Immediately
I bought this for my just turned 6 year old son and was worried he wouldn't like it. He LOVES it!!! He asked for a craft project and it was hard finding him something that wasn't too "girly". This kit is truly unisex and is really nicely made---everything in it is great quality and it comes with very easy to follow instructions to guide non-readers. He is able to make these puppets without any help from us and it's fun to see him have pride in his finished product. This is a wonderful kit to keep the kiddos busy and exercise their creative side.

Discount Pixos Disney Fairies
Many folks have a love-hate relationship with Pixos. Nut my craftsy/"artist-want-to be" princess of a 5-year old niece loves them, and it's an activity that you are almost mandated to share to with them at this age. This pixo kit is the one, so far, she's enjoyed the most. Here's the ups and downs of it:
Upsides:
- Helping TINKERBELL fly is a winner: Tinkerbell is alway a winner with my niece, but making Tinkerbell's pixos wings for her to be able to fly again was a highlight for her with this set. Comes with a cut-out cardboard Tink and the "stickies" needed to attach her wings when you complete them. The wings are the "beginner" level of making - so perfect for this age.
- Tinkerbell in the Lost Island with Fairies and trees you make are even more of a winner: The box is cleverly designed to become a Lost Island forest - for on-going imaginative playability after you've made them.
Downsides:
The downsides are pretty much what people that don't like Pixo's typically will tell you - though my nieces enjoyment of them supercedes these downsides.
- Patience and a plan are required to fully enjoy Pixo's made for this age set:
Bumps that upset Pixos you've already placed happen (this tends to bother adults more than the kids). There's a lot of small pieces (TIP: We make sure we've already poured each color pixos into a little snack ziploc bag to reduce errant pixos floating around), and it does take a lot of spraying with water and a couple of hours for each of your "creations" to dry.
- Pixos aren't a "substitute baby-sitter" type-toy: With younger kids, you really do have to sit down and do the project with them with. To me, it makes it a fun shared activity.
- Placing Pixo's is easier for little fingers than 'adult-sized' fingers": We had no problem doing this one with our hands (the kit doesn't come with a Pixo pen. But, if you are doing them on a regular basis - I highly recommend getting a Pixos Pen Pack Starter Pack Plus Bonus Refill Kit, which includes a PIXO placement pen that adults with bigger hands often find easier to use.
