Crafty Gifts for Kids {Craftprojectideas.com Giveaway & Gift Guide}

Craftprojectideas.com generously gave us two of the products featured below to try out and giveaway to you! This post contains affiliate links.

Christmas is almost here and with my daughter's birthday and then all of us getting sick during the first part of December, I am really behind on getting gifts purchased for Christmas. I am not the sort of person who buys gifts all year long... so I'm in a bit of a panic right now as I try and finish up gift buying.

One thing I love to give as presents are crafting materials and kits. Craftprojectideas.com has several kits and crafting supplies that I love for the 6 and under crowd. You might find something for your kids on here too.

We recently tried out the Ultimate Box of Projects and Weaving Loom and are excited to give both kids away to one awesome Toddler Approved reader. Scroll down for more details.

Here are six of the Craftprojectideas.com items that I am loving right now (for kids 6 and under)...

Tape it Up- We really love anything that involves tape. This kit is for kids 6+, but as long as an adult is helping, younger kids can do it. My daughter loves accessorizing with tape. 

Weaving Loom- This kit is for kids 5+ and is great for building finger muscles. It is also addictive.

Ultimate Box of Projects- This kit will seriously keep kids busy for hours. It is for kids 4+ but I was able to sit and do many of the projects with my 3-year-old as long as I was close by to help.

Paint Dab markers- These markers are seriously the best. Perfect for toddlers on up.

Foam Stickers- You can never have enough foam stickers. Craftprojectideas.com has a great selection.

Sand Art- I loved sand art growing up and my kids love the feel of sand and enjoy exploring the colors. This activity is for kids 5+ but with some help younger kids can enjoy it too.

The other afternoon we opened up the Ultimate Box of Projects and I was pretty amazed at the variety of stuff included in the box. Here are just a few things that we made from the box along with favorite kid's books we read along while we created!

We made Farm sticker pictures (which were so cool that my 5-year-old had to "help" too) while we read Moo Baa La La La by Sandra Boynton.

We created a foam heart project while we read I Love You, Stinky Face by Lisa Mccourt.  

We put together playdough animals while we read Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed by Eileen Christelow.

We built and played with doggie & Teddy Bear Puppets while we read Rrralph! by Lois Ehlbert

And that was only half of what there was in the box. Pairing each activity with a children's book was a lot of fun too!

Now that we've shared some of our favorite craft ideas along with kid's books, let's announce our giveaway from Craftprojectideas.com!!!
