DD loves drawing and crafts...I don't want to get her markers/paper/paint as we have all of htose sorts of supplies, we have an easel, I have random doodads like pom poms, stickers pipe cleaners, glue scissors etc...
She LOVES the sticky mosaic crafts (bracelets, jewelry boxes, etc) so I might get her another one of those types of things, but wondering about any different/interesting craft gift ideas for this age group beyond the basic supplies? Another thing we ahve that she loves is the buddha board (it is a board you paint on w/ water and then it dries & you start over, etc).
My son loves to string beads. I set him up with a ton of pony beads, alphabet beads, plastic lacing and pipe cleaners and he'll make "jewelry" for everyone.
