Sculpey gets so soft that its a good idea to chill any piece that need to be cut. The pigment in Sculpy is very strong so it's best to use a light hand when mixing colors.

Sparrow Purse Kit
1 recommendation
"There are a lot of reasons I love this sparrow purse sewing kit from Sparrowkids. Clearly, it's just adorable, and the finished product will be worn proudly. Moreover, sewing is a great way for kids to practice fine motor skills. Better yet though, the company that creates the kits uses recycled felt and fairly traded supplies."

Origami Planes

"I must confess that unlike my cousin, who could build several very flight worthy paper planes, my skills are limited to the basic design I learned in second grade-- and even with my most careful folding they go down in imaginary flames. If only I had this kit!"
Djeco Origami Animals
1 recommendation
"I loved the kit like this I had when I was 6. Now that I'm a mother I also appreciate the easy set-up and the fact that kids can do a couple in a few minutes or take a few hours to do a whole herd. These would make great party activities, too since they come with 6 ea. or 6 designs. Ages 4-6."

"I'm always on the lookout for kids craft kits that turn into something I don't mind hanging around my house for a couple of months- this spiffy lion mosaic fits the bill. Plus, mosaics are a great way to supplement the study of ancient cultures or talk about pixels and pointillism. Ages 7+"
Potholder Loom
1 recommendation
"When I was eight, this was my very favorite thing to do in the whole wide world (but then again, I wasn't a very interesting kid). It's very empowering for children to feel like the can effect change. Actually creating a usable object (in this case, a potholder), is incredibly gratifying. It'll also provide grown-ups with a nice leafy stroll down memory lane..."
