Creative gifts are amazing for keeping the boredom away while letting their imaginations run wild. Your kiddos will love these fun artsy gifts, and you’ll love that they encourage their creative side.Gardening tools and seeds

Kids love getting down and dirty in the garden and luckily there are plenty of kid’s gardening kits to get them well on their way to having a growing garden.Baking set
Buying baking equipment is an innovative way to encourage your own little Master Chef to become a culinary whizz in the kitchen. All they need is a baking bowl, whisk, oven mitts, a rolling pin and knives safe for little fingers to show them how easy it can be to make something delicious.
Candle making
What could be better than a candle you make yourself? Kids candle making kits come with everything you need from candle wicks and molds to candle wax and scented oils to help them get creative while also crafting cute necessities for the home.Musical instruments
For many children, a love of music starts at a young age so gifting a musical instrument is the perfect way to let kids flex their musical muscles. Check in with mum and dad to see what instrument would be suitable for their home…not everyone wants to hear Three Blind Mice recited on the violin 100 times per day!

After all, it's more fun to roam the forest than watching hours of YouTube videos.A survival kit should include a sturdy rope, pegs and a tarpaulin for a make-shift tent, a torch and some camouflage paint.
