Arts and craft sets for kids make great Christmas presents. I always enjoy seeing my children making things because they’re having fun while being productive.
When they begin a project there is always a little bit of doubt in their mind, will it work out or not? If it works out first attempt then they feel proud. When it doesn’t work exactly the first time they learn to be persistent and resourceful. These are positive traits to learn as a child.
Personally, I love giving craft sets to my children as gifts because it keeps them busy. Also, I like to see them improving fine motor skills while playing.

When I was a little girl, Christmas was special, but there is one year in particular that really stands out in my memory. There was no Barbie walking horse back then, but it was the year Golden Dream Barbie hit the market. That Christmas was possibly the best ever.
That Barbie doll was one I really wanted. She had a beautiful golden gown and the most important thing on her was her golden hair. She had “real” gold streaks in her long glossy hair. I brushed that hair so often I’m surprised it didn’t fall out.
That was many years ago but Barbie is still one of the most desired presents for little girls now. And Barbie still evokes an emotional response because girls love these dolls so much.
