Crafty present for 5 year olds

[ChiaraMontague]

Any ideas for crafty presents for 5 year olds? My niece and nephew love drawing, making books and origami - any ideas for presents that will help me keep my Best Aunt crown?

Make do looks good. It’s tools and kits for making stuff with cardboard

Mini delices 5 in 1 chocolate workshop? Dgd was given this for her birthday and has really enjoyed it, it comes with different moulds to make different shaped chocolates. She made me some lovely chocolate teddy's for my birthday with peanut butter in the center, I've a feeling ill get some for christmas too.

There’s a website called Baker Ross with loads of kids craft kits and ideas. They do everything from glass painting sets to make your own photo frames.

At that age mine loved a knitting fork, good for fiddling about with. Five is still a bit young for weaving and french knitting can be tough unless they are very dextrous.

Wet felting was doable too at five, but needs help as they get bored quickly!

Hama beads and sequin art big hits here

Do they have aqua beads? My 5 year old loves them. Other ideas- rock painting, making pop up cards, simple ‘first’ sewing activities. Galt do some good craft sets.

Lego dots? lots of cool add ons for future years too

Hama beads!

Another vote for Makedo. Its amazing and so easy to use.
