Gifts for Kids

gifts-for-artists

I have some favorite gifts that I like to make for kids’ birthdays that could make nice holiday gifts.  So I’ll be sharing some of my entries from the past.

Here are some gift ideas for the little artist, and even those who would rather play with light sabers sometimes like to have time for artistic reflection.  Pictured here are the sketch box, doodle bag and craft can.  The posts for the sketch box and craft can include printable templates for a quick and easy gift.

This year I bought nice art boxes for my kids and plan to do a wood-burning design with their names and fill them with art supplies of their very own (that they don’t have to share).  A sewing set is another great gift for a child or teenager — you can make a drawstring bag, tote or box to keep the supplies.

  1. Just the inspiration I needed! We have a nearly 4-yr old nephew whom I desperately needed ideas for. He loves to draw and paint so I think these ideas will do perfectly! Thanks!

  2. I’m doing art boxes for my girls, too! I thought about modge podging some cute paper to wood boxes but decided to go with plastic instead. My girls are ROUGH with their stuff. Thanks for the ideas!
