Getting gifts for kids can be tricky, but if your little girl has a creative spirit, there are plenty of things out there that will keep her busy for hours on end. Whether you’re looking for a special present for your own child or for your niece, these girls gift ideas are sure to get you started on the right track. Perfect for the little artist in your life, each of these gifts can be enjoyed by your child on their own or with a grown-up during family time.
Art supplies
It doesn’t matter how old your little girl is, every child loves experimenting with art supplies. For younger children, try finger painting and scribbling with colored pencils, while older children might like to try watercolors, acrylics, and markers. Remember that the world of art really is limitless, so don’t be afraid to buy glitter and sequins to help your kids unlock their creativity. If your kids are struggling to draw themselves, try starting them off with some stencils or coloring books to help them feel more confident.
Jewelry making kit
Nearly all little girls enjoy playing dress-up, so why not add another dimension to their princess parties? Buying a jewelry-making kit allows kids to make bracelets and necklaces with lots of colorful beads and strings that they can wear or give to their friends. It gives them more control over their personal style and allows them to have a whole lot of fun too.
Cookie cutters
If you’ve never baked with your child before, cookie cutters are one of the best ways you can introduce creative children to the kitchen. You’ll probably have to help out for this one, especially when it comes to making the dough, but your little girl will love cutting out different shapes and decorating the final result with icing. Choose a few different shapes that leave lots of room for artistic expression.
Secret diary
Pair a secret diary with some gel pens and your child will have hours of fun scribbling little stories and memories. Not only will this appeal to creative girls everywhere, but it will also be a nice memory for them as they grow up. After all, there’s nothing like reading back on your thoughts and feelings from when you were a child.
Washable markers
Buy your little girl a teddy, T-shirt, or pillowcase that’s designed to be used with washable markers and watch her creativity grow. These gifts allow kids to draw all kinds of pictures onto an object without risking any permanent damage to your home. You’ll be able to pop the item into the washing machine once your child is finished, letting her create a whole new scene the following day once it’s dry.
Magic sand
Not only incredibly satisfying to play with, but magic sand is also a great way for girls to express their creativity. Whether they just want to get stuck in or prefer using a mold to build castles, magic sand is a great alternative to modeling clays for little ones.
