Want a cheap fun gift for kids? Give them craft and art supplies!

Rather than buying some overpriced craft kit, try putting together a box of supplies.

Here are 5 reasons why it’s better:

1. Various supplies make it more open ended for the kids to decide what to make.

2. Open-ended can lead to more process art. This inspires more creativity and imagination.

3. Cheaper

4. More fun and builds confidence for kids

5. Can support hours of entertainment

And if you’re looking for ideas on what to put in an art box, here are some ideas. For some of them you can add different colors or sizes to mix it up.
