Create your own crafts
While some kids prefer structure, others would rather be set loose with art supplies. That’s where the Artist’s Surplus Art Jar (The Land of Nod, $29) comes in.

Put together a model plane
Serious model airplane kits are best for older kids, but if you have a little one who’s interested in model airplanes, you can start small. The Bi-plane Laser Cut Wood Model (Hobby King, $3) lets kids easily pop out pieces and snap them into place. This makes a quick and budget-friendly afternoon project your child can display proudly.

If you’re looking for a project you can give to grandparents, this is a winner. The Kids’ Step Stone Kit (Staples, $13) comes with everything you need to create a custom stepping stone for a garden or pathway. Made of real cement, the stepping stone makes a great keepsake.
