Crafty or other activity based presents?

Have got DC aged 5, 6 and 6. I have a budget of £33, so £11 each. Have found some really good craft kits for £30, and then could do token under the tree gifts for £1 each or so (which equals a 99p hat/glove set, some crayons for 20p, a mini paint set for 40p, and a charity shopmbook, there are cheap stories for 40p and less in our local?) each. They will have stockings too, and I really love and think they will love the craft set...and their similarities in age and preferences means a shared present could work well? It would mean a big box which they would unpack together, with masks and stuff to make and activites to do.

Alternatively, any cheap (£11/under) craft or activity based gifts suitable for 5/6yos, so they could get individual presents?

Sorry meant- a 99p hat/glove set OR the crayons/mini paints/book. Probably the latter.

If you have a Wilkinsons, look in there as they have very reasonably priced little craft sets.

Also, you could buy one set of fabric pens to share and 3 plain t-shirts. Asda and Matalan have plain t-shirts.

Or plain white mugs (found as set of 3 or 4 for a couple of quid) and a set of ceramic pens.

Shrinkles are fun. You colour them in and then put them in the oven and watch them change shape! I loved them and might get my DCs the dinosaur or space set. They are around a tenner but could be a joint present leaving around £23 to be shared for individual gifts?

Also Hama beads - I got 4 bags of beads (so 4000 beads) and 5 little pegboards for about £15 in the Entertainer.

You can get Hama (style) beads in ikea for cheap as chips.

We have a craft box with
Googly eyes
Pipe cleaners
