What Makes The Best Kid’s Gift?

Ever since I was a little girl I have looked forward to the entire month of December. To me, this time of year is about celebration, decadence, warmth, indulgence, creating, giving, and receiving.  As I’ve grown older, I’ve become much more of a minimalist, but Christmas just doesn’t seem right without a pile of presents under the tree. 
With Hanukkah coming early this year, my girls have already begun amassing a new collection of toys and it has got me thinking about a better plan for the influx of Christmas gifts soon to come.  This plan includes sorting through and donating old toys with the girls, but it also includes being strategic in gift giving.  When it comes to holidays or birthdays, art supplies are now at the top of my list for gifts.

5 reasons why art supplies make the best gifts for kids:

1) Art supplies are consumable- they get used up and don’t contribute to toy clutter

2) They promote skills such as creative thinking, self-expression, fine motor skills, & many more!

3) They can be shared with siblings and friends

4) They can be used to make new gifts or thank you cards for others

5) Kids love them!

I am so grateful and fortunate to be able to offer my kids this kind of creative enrichment and holiday abundance. If you know a child or family who does not have the means for holiday gifts, please leave a comment or e-mail me and we will send a creative gift package to a few kids in need.
