Holiday Gift Guide -Creativity for Kids ShrinkyDink Monster Lab Review & Giveaway





Art is a big part of my family's lives. We all play instruments, we like write stories, and we love to draw, paint and craft. Any one with artistic ingenuity who has children, knows to shop at Creativity For Kids. They have some of the most original and exciting crafts for children at prices that won't put a cramp in your artistic style.  They have dozens of options that will appeal to boys and girls of all ages. With the holidays on the horizon, they have even have some wonderful holiday themed crafts that will keep kids entertained while they are on their holiday break.



For our review, we received the ShrinkyDinks Monster Lab. I remember ShrinkyDinks from my own childhood, so this is a great gift to share with my children.  The set comes with 50 pre-cut skrinky dinks that children can color with the eco-friendly pencils which are also included. There are also other accessories like wiggly eyes and chenille sticks to help decorate your monsters. Once they are completed, you can put them on stands and kids can play with them in the awesome mad scientist lab backdrop. This is the type of craft that is not only fun to create, but will provide hours off play once the crafting is done. My son loves this set and I would recommend to anyone who has a little boy this holiday season.




All the Creativity For Kids products are available online, but you can also check for a location near you that sells them.  For more grown up art products, check out Faber Castell where you can find paint and brushes, colored pencils, canvases, charcoal and more. No holiday will be complete with out at least one craft toy under the tree. So head on over to Creativity for Kids today and find just the right set for your little one.
