Five Best Children's Creative Gifts for $19.99, Appropriate for Ages 5-7

These five sets will provide many hours of creative fun for children ages 5- 7. They are suitable for boys or girls and two of them will even create little heirlooms that are perfect for keeping for a life time. That’s quite a good deal for $19.99! Sometimes the best gift we can give a child is the gift of creativity. I think as adults we often lose much of that creativity we were all born with because we develop a fear of failure or think we’ll be judged by our peers. Children just do what comes naturally and let their creativity flow. Children aren’t concerned with guidelines and doing artwork that someone might approve of. They just do what comes into their creative minds.

There is no right or wrong to artwork and children should just be allowed to be creative. I recall a friend telling me a story about her grade school art teacher criticizing her artwork. This teacher told her she would never be an artist because she drew stick people. My friend never forgot this and in the back of her mind she always believed she could never be artistic. That’s a good reminder to exercise restraint before we offer critical remarks to children. Sometimes we unintentionally stifle creativity with words and it can last a lifetime.
