Kids Crafts: Crafting Kits.

Today we are going to head back down to aisle 24 - where I have some more fun kids crafting ideas to share with you! 

First, our Melissa and Doug items recently got reset in this aisle as well and we even added to the selection of their products too! These are always a go to for our family as they are entertaining, fun and great quality pieces. And while these don't technically require "crafting" - they are perfect for keeping the kids busy.

 

Also in aisle 24, you can find a few different types of crafting kits. I like the idea behind these kits for a few reasons. First, you can easily grab a kit and go - you don't have to put a lot of time into deciding on particular craft to choose while shopping. Second, there are a lot of different pieces/crafts included in each kit. And finally, the pieces of the kits can be adapted for many different ages and crafting abilities.

We have a couple more general kits and also a couple more specific to sewing and yarn. Any of the kits would also make a great gift for any crafty kids you know too!

New in Paints & Basics.

Our Paints & Basics department has received in a lot of new products the last few weeks - today I wanted to share a few of the new pieces we are very excited about!

First, we have these fun wood letterpress blocks. Great to use as a single letter or to spell out a word.

I also spotted these new Melissa & Doug activity books. The pages come with printed activities or starting prompts and then you fill in the pages with either the chalk or stamp markers that are included. These would be a great addition to an Easter Basket if you are still needing an idea!

We have a couple additional sizes available now of chalkboards.

On a middle endcap in the Paints&Basics department you will find a complete line of these bottlecap items. They come in variety designs, colors and sizes - as magnets, necklaces, bracelets, etc. They not only can be used as projects themselves - but the pieces also work well as embellishments on other projects too.

We have a lot of requests for small wood numbers - and now you can find them here! In addition to the numbers we also have the & and @ symbols available too!

And finally, some plastic containers in a variety of shapes and sizes. They make great little favor containers and would also be good little storage containers for items as well.
