A Crafty Christmas

I always like to get crafting gifts for kids. For one thing, the items are usually items that you can use up, meaning that it won't be living in my house for a long time. They also give kids something to do--keeping them busy AND allowing them to use their own creativity.

I was posting about all the toys that are discounted 70% or more, and started looking through all of the good deals. Right or wrong, some of these items might be good disposable activities to save for snow days. There's nothing like pulling out a new item from the gift closet and opening it to keep kids busy for a large portion of the day.

Some of these I wouldn't dream of paying full price for, some I might not ever buy, but at these prices they're almost a "free sample" to test if you'd like it.

Here's an example. Moonsand and Moon Dough. Kids see this and want it, parents see this and shrink back in horror. It's worth a try for $5.



Aquasand, loved this as a kid.



Some other good kits






Enjoy!
