As a parent (aunt in my case), we want our children to have fun while also learning and developing their creativity. One way to achieve this is through art and craft activities. Craft kits are an excellent way to provide your child with everything they need to create something special while keeping them occupied and engaged.

On Amazon, I was able to find Art and Craft kits for kids available in a wide range of types and themes, making it easy to find the perfect kit for your child’s interests and skill level. Here are some of the best art and craft kits for your kids’ playtime:

Paint Your Own Stepping Stones – Art and Craft Kit for kids

This craft kit is perfect for children who love to paint and create. The kit comes with stepping stones ready to paint right out of the box. No need to mold them, or bake them. The kit also comes with an art supplies gift set that includes everything you will need from start to finish and I just think it’s awesome for kids to participate in the making of something that will be displayed in their home/garden.

3D Coloring Puzzle Set

This art and crafts kit is a brain teaser that will help stimulate your kids’ focus and offer them the relaxing benefits of coloring. The set includes a total of 5 different puzzles to color in and then build into a 3D model, that you can put on display. To avoid the repetitive pattern often seen in other 3D puzzles, the brand designed a different pattern for each puzzle to keep kids entertained and engaged, there is a Butterfly, Seaplane, Dinosaur, Peacock, and the Eiffel Tower. The variety of designs will keep kids engaged for hours. I personally love the idea of this kit for two reasons:

Coloring is beneficial for kids (and adults too):

Coloring benefits for kids include improved motor skills, stimulation of creativity, enhanced color awareness, and also helps improved focus and hand-to-eye coordination.

Solving puzzles is a great brain teaser for kids:

Solving Puzzles flexes mental muscles, and improves kids’ motor skills. Humans love to problem-solve by nature and puzzles are a fun way of cultivating this skill, they also help develop visual-spatial skills and enhance a child’s math performance.

Diamond Art Gem by Number Kits Arts and Crafts for Kids

This is something I would’ve loved as a kid. The diamond painting kits for kids are made of multi-face crystal organic glass diamonds, that come in various sizes and rich vibrant colors, which like sun catchers (I’m obsessed with sun catchers) make the painting so sparkling and bright. This Diamond Painting Kit comes with plenty of gems, 4 wax, 4 trays, 4 diamond painting pens, and 4 canvases. As a parent or caregiver, you can help your kids and guide them to create these diamond paintings.

Kids Rock Painting Kit – Glow in The Dark

I’m sure you have seen glow-in-the-dark art & crafts everywhere (It always fascinates me and I’m not even a kid). If your child loves art, creativity, and a little bit of magic, they will be so excited to own and discover this fun and educational kit, kids can unleash their creativity and create truly unique and eye-catching ‘glowing’ rock designs. This set comes with10 natural white river rocks, 4 puffy glow-in-the-dark paints (will light up as soon as lights go off), 6 standard paints, gold & silver glitter glue, 2 paintbrushes (fine tip and wider tip), googly eyes, gem stickers, gold and black transfer stickers, and instruction manual.

Let your kid Paint their Own Moon Lamp

The moon lamp is a decor item that is going super viral online. This kit is super cool because it lets your kid paint designs from their own imagination on the moon lamp and put it on display in their rooms. The set comes with a moon lamp, plastic base, 12 Paint Pots, 2 paint brushes, 1 cartoon apron, 2 pairs of gloves, and alternative batteries, no need to prepare more materials. Just open the box, and let your kid create their own night light (look on Pinterest for design inspiration or let their creativity run wild).

Conclusion

Craft kits are an excellent way to keep your child engaged and occupied while also developing their creativity and skills. There are a wide variety of craft kits available, so you can find the perfect kit for your child’s interests and skill level. When you provide your child with the right tools and materials, you are also encouraging them to explore and discover new hobbies and interests.
