20 Best Craft Kits for Kids in 2020

The pages of this book are blank comics, so artists can create their own superheroes and tell their own stories. There are also section divisions, in case they want to start several sagas at the same time.

There is something soothing about using Crayola’s glitter dots – they are rolled up as glitter balls, and you apply them to your work wherever you want. (Bonus for parents: no mess! The glitter is self-contained in its own sphere of glue.) With this Glitter Dots set, kids can stick the dots on three different adorable key chains.

This kit is partly handcrafted and partly artistic, because children must assemble the wooden train and the monster truck before they can paint them. And if children really like to paint on wood, there are also DIY butterfly magnets.

You do not need to color or glue these mosaics – instead, everything is done with self-adhesive stickers. The stickers are even small pictures, so the mosaic cereal bowl, for example, really looks like pieces of cereal.

Go on a nature walk and collect treasures – so what? This kit helps children transform interesting rocks they have found into ladybugs, butterflies, bees and other fun shapes. And if you can’t find good specimens near you, it also comes with nine rocks that you can use.

Small artists will be impressed with their own abilities after tackling these artistic projects. They don’t even need to master a stick of glue – the cardboard shapes are already sticky, and kids just need to inflate the tissue paper and put them in the right sections. This set makes six trades.

It’s like connecting the dots, only with acrylic thread instead of a pencil. After lacing up animal shapes, kids can add foam stickers and glitter to finish off their creatures.

What child wouldn’t want this dino looking at them from a shelf? This kit comes with the T-Rex, and all the paint, glitter, pipe cleaners and glitter necessary to make it unique.

Or, if your kids are not dinosaurs, there is also a unicorn kit that will add a dose of enchantment to any room. (You can also choose to paint a wooden unicorn instead of a papier mache unicorn.)

Named one of Good HousekeepingHot Toys of 2019, this Crayola set allows kids to make art with glitter and sparkles – without doing any mess. The loose flakes are collected in tubes so that they can be reused.

Children can create a work of art that also sets the scene for the room. The set comes with markers and a color explanation by number if they need some advice on how to get the right emojis.

Capturing a day on the farm is easy with this 20-piece stamp set, which comes with its own ink. It also comes with five colored pencils so kids can add all the other details they need.

Hush – it’s not really stained glass, just translucent stickers! However, when you hang it in a window (the suction cup is included), you will not be able to tell the difference.

If you just want to load them up with supplies and let their imaginations run wild, the Crayola Inspiration art set is all they need. It comes with 140 pieces, including markers, colored pencils and colored pencils.

This project turns children into authors and illustrators. The hardcover book comes with blank and lined pages, so your kids can trace their stories. Stickers, crayons, and alphabet and number sheets provide the perfect finishing touch to the images.

If you have a small child on your hands, this is a very easy collage project for children 18 months and older. It comes with three sticky panels in the primary colors, as well as buttons, feathers, shapes, stickers and other assorted doo-dads. All your daughter has to do is support them where she wants them.

Sometimes it’s better to just hand over craft supplies and let them do it … whatever, and this case comes with enough to keep you going for a while, including pipe cleaners, sticks, felt, beads, wide eyes, glitter and jewelry, among others. For the youngest, there is also the My First Arts and Crafts supply library.

For older children, this project uses EL thread to create a light work of art. They can use the five models included or come up with their own designs. It’s Kiwi Co, which also offers art subscription boxes and DIY projects.
