Craft set for a 12 year old

In need of inspiration please! Anybody come across any exciting craft sets for a 12 year old girl. I'm thinking something to keep her occupied and off a screen for at least 30mins!
We already have resin kits, friendship bracelets and origami.

Anime drawing kit?

Posca pens and a big bag of white rocks keeps my nearly 12yo busy.

Polymer clay is fairly popular too.

Pouring art paint set?

stressbucket1 · 11/11/2022 14:56

Or those diamond picture sets

theartycraftyplace.co.uk/ Decoupage or block printing. DS (12) enjoys the latter.

Hobbycraft have a big selection of kits.
If she enjoyed making friendship bracelets, might she like some proper jewellery making supplies? A selection of beads, fastenings, memory wire (easy to use for making bead bracelets), pliers etc. All in one of those craft storage boxes with lots of sections?

I got very into embroidery at that age. Still doing it 30 years later!

Needle felting or wet felting? Needle felting easier to pick up and pit down and you can make it as simple or as difficult as you like

The following have apparently been enjoyed by my god daughter. Some of these I got her when aged 10-12, so may not been 'in' for a 12yr old now though. Her mum recommended GALT brand for several crafty kits:

  • bath bomb making kit
  • lip gloss making kit
  • rainbow lab
  • soap making kit
  • chemistry set
  • space craft
  • science lab

Candle-making kit

Fimo sets

My daughter got a little greenhouse thing you had to glue together last year - it was lovely but she was a bit young for it still so it’s in the cupboard. Your daughter would be old enough.

Thank you team! Brilliant ideas. Better get myself down to hobby craft!

DD is almost 20 and is currently into latch hook kits but people of all ages do it. The kits have pictures to follow.
She has also enjoyed anime drawing. I got her some decent (but especially expensive) drawing pencils so it’s not just all HB.
She has done knitting, crochet…just try her on something but don’t spend a fortune until you know if it’s her thing.
