Seedling Art Kits give kids the gift of imagination, creativity, and creation in a kit.

The Create a Wooden People Family kit gives you a wooden doll family of two parents and four children, colored pencils, felt pieces, fabric, craft glue and thread in which to create your own family.

Add paint if you like and you’ll soon have a family of six wooden dolls. We liked this idea of a Box of Princesses from Lil’ Blue Boo to make our dolls into a family of princesses.

Another really great kit for both boys and girls four and up is the Make Your Own Kaleidoscope Kit. The kit includes cardboard tubes, plastic mirror pieces, assorted beads, rhinestones, adhesive paper, foil confetti pieces, craft glue and instructions.

Besides the fun of creating and designing, kids will learn about patterns and symmetry. You can explain to older kids about how the light reflects off the mirror inside. Read more about how a kaleidoscope works.

I love the Design Your Own Superhero Kit, don’t you? What design would your child want on his or her cape? This kit includes a plain cape, craft glue & brush, EVA sheets and stars, felt sheets and shapes, scissors, colored pencils, glitter glue, design page and tips. Perfect for all your creation needs!

Seedlings also offers a Create Your Own Puzzle kit. It includes wooden blocks, acrylic paints, colored pencils, paint brushes, template, instructions to design and paint six different images (one on each face of the block), making a total of six puzzles.

Younger kids could paint alphabet blocks and that would be just as fun and easier than inventing six puzzles. Come to think of it, that sounds fun for me, too!

Don’t you think that creating your own soft doll with this Create Your Own Designer Doll kit would be more fun that getting a pre-made doll this year? This kit contains everything needed to customize a soft doll: 11-inch cotton doll, embroidery thread, assorted fabrics, acrylic yarn, felt, sewing needles and directions.
