It might be difficult to teach your kids how to draw, but this light-up tracing pad will help them learn quickly just by tracing line art. The kit includes a graphite pencil and 12 colored pencils so that your kids can play around with various colors as they like. 

Additionally, the paper-locking frame holds the sheets in place, so your kids can even draw on a flight or during car rides. A reviewer said that the light of the tracing pad was pretty bright, so you could just use plain copy paper instead of expensive tracing paper. 

However, some reviewers complained that the kit did not include any picture to trace, so you need to download pictures on the internet and print them out or draw some yourselves. Not only kids but adults found the kit easy, inexpensive, and fun to use as well. A sketch artist even commented that she used the tracing pad for her own project! 

If your kids love to customize things, Tara Toys' necklace activity set might be a great gift for them. With five Disney character charms, 150 beads, and five silicone necklaces, your kids can freely mix and match things together. However, you should pay attention when your kids are playing, since the kit contains many small pieces.

Some reviewers complained about how the necklace string could not fasten when closed. Yet, many reviewers said that the product helped their kids express their personalities and be creative. Some also commented that the pieces were lovely and easy to handle, thus suitable for children above three years old. 

With 33 Lego pieces, six plastic balls, and other elements, this Lego building kit allows your kids to design and build different moving machines. The kit also comes with a 78-page instruction book to help guide your kids in building 10 moving machines and show them some building tricks. 

Some reviewers mentioned that to build all of the moving machines instructed in the book, you need extra parts from other Lego sets. Therefore, a reviewer suggested getting some other Lego sets with this kit.

However, many reviewers commented that the kit was a great learning tool about physics and engineering concepts. A reviewer also added that after some experience, his kids started to incorporate their own objects and make their own original designs.

Some reviewers complained about the scissors and suggested getting normal kiddie safety scissors instead for easy usage. Some reviewers further said that adults might need to help children with some projects since they were a bit complicated. 

However, many reviewers loved the activities and pictures in the workbook and commented that the activities helped their kids learn how to use scissors safely. 

This window art kit includes suncatchers, glitter paint and other materials to help your kids create their own window clings. This kit promotes creativity by allowing your children to mix different colors, add their own patterns, and personalize the designs to their liking. 

Some reviewers commented that the suncatchers had some small holes that were a bit difficult for children to paint. Some also said that since the kit only included 12 suncatchers, there were a lot of left-over paints. 

However, a reviewer said that in case you run out of the suncatchers, you could make more patterns with the acetate sheet or purchase clear sheets online. 

With 19 wheels in unique shapes, this Spirograph kit helps your kids design various patterns and at the same time get used to geometric shapes. The kit also comes with 20 sheets of design paper, a guide book, and a putty to hold all of the pieces together. 

Some reviewers said that the pens included in the set were not of high quality, and some were disappointed about receiving wobbly wheels that made it pretty tough to draw. On the other hand, reviewers mentioned that the set was compact and there was a built-in work space included, which allowed kids to draw just about anywhere.

The kit includes everything your kids need to build their own sand castles, including three pounds of beach sand, six molds for building walls, bridges and towers, and two multi-purpose tools for cutting, digging, or shoveling.

Some reviewers complained that three pounds of beach sand was not as much as they thought. However, many reviewers loved that the sand was soft and easy to work with. Reviewers also commented that the sand was virtually mess-free, since it did not stick to anything at all and stayed moist all the time. 

Kiddosland's crystal slime kit is made from 100% eco-friendly and non-toxic materials. There are various materials in the kit such as toy cups, animal toys, crystal slime and fruit slices, so your kids can use their imagination and turn the slime into different shapes and sizes. 

A reviewer warned that the glitter was stored in a glass vial, which might be dangerous for children to play with. Some also complained about the chemical smell of the slime. 

On the other hand, some reviewers commented that the kit had a storage container that was convenient to fit things inside. People also said that since the slime was premade and non-sticky, it did not create any mess.
