Here, the best craft kits to help your tweens get in touch with their creative side! The kit provides all the materials required for this craft project: pre-cut pieces of felt, rubber bands (which help hold the succulents together), adhesive and a frame, and also chalk pastels, which are used to decorate the petals. There are also instructions included with the kit, to steer children through each step of the process. Making friendship bracelets is a project that can be completed relatively quickly, and the bracelets can range in design from a simple stripe to more sophisticated chevron options. Your tween can keep the end results, or gift bracelets to friends. You can select from a wide variety of yarn colors when purchasing. The kit includes the pattern for the bag, a roll or yard, a sewing needle (for the finishing work), and two clasps. If you do not have a crochet hook at home, you can add on the crochet hook for an extra charge. There’s enough yarn for a small and a large bag, so after your tween completes their first bag, they can try out their skills again on a second bag. Think of mosaic sticker puzzles as a fun alternative to jigsaw puzzles. These kits are available with a wide range of finished project pictures, from shapes (like snowflakes and hearts) to animals to pixelated versions of famous works of art. Your child will use these stickers to “paint” using individual pixels. This is no single-day project! Your tween can work solo to complete this puzzle, or do it with friends, siblings, or the entire family. Step-by-step instructions with a variety of different kinds of tie-dye designs are also included. All you’ll need to supply is the fabric for the project: A simple white t-shirt can do the trick, but you can also get creative with hats, sweatshirts, and more. Older tweens can tie-dye solo, but this kit is also ideal for doing with siblings or friends, or as a family. This is a beginner-friendly kit. Since some steps of the process involve heating up wax, parents may want to supervise tweens during those steps. Your tween can keep—and burn, with supervision—these candles at home, or give them as gifts to friends and family. This bath bomb kit comes with two types of Himalayan salt, citric acid, baking soda, essential oils and grapeseed oil, a sprayer bottle, and molds for the bath bomb, as well as packaging materials, and instructions. The DIY kit is made in the United States. This is a satisfying and easy project that will give your tween plenty of opportunities to observe as plants sprout and bloom.
