Do you have a child who loves arts and crafts? I bet your fridge is covered with their random paper creations, drawings and paintings. Their bedroom is probably home to a zillion pinecone pets, painted rocks and random leaf collections, and maybe they even have their own art station where they keep all their supplies, bits and bobs, paper cuttings, things you thought you put in recycling but they “rescued”.
Here is a great list of unique gift ideas for your creative kid that will excite all their creative senses:
Artshine In A Box, Virtual Art Class Subscription
A subscription based art kit box that includes an online video art class and everything you need to complete that class’ masterpiece! It’s like Christmas morning every month! My daughter LOVED getting her first Artshine in a box. She opened it up and her eyes lit up as she held the pallet of paint, all the new paint brushes, her own sharpie, glow in the dark pens and paint and canvases.
Each box includes a video link for the art class. You can help your child get set up at a table, go to the video link and press play. They can press pause at anytime to stop and catch up, take a break, let the paint dry and come back later.
At the end of each class, your child will have a completed masterpiece, a new sense of accomplishment, maybe some new skills and increased confidence!
