Art supplies make a great gift

For Ally’s second birthday, one of my friends put together one of the best gifts I’ve ever seen. She filled a gift bag with all sorts of art supplies such as glue sticks, paints, safety scissors, crayons, markers, stencils, paper, glitter, pipe cleaners, stickers, etc.

Both Ally and I were excited when she opened this present and now, two years later, Ally and I are still appreciating that same gift.

Ally uses art supplies almost daily and we’re still using many of the same supplies my friend got for her. What’s great about this gift idea is that kids can never have too many art supplies. And while kids may grow bored with other gifts like toys and games, art supplies last a long time and can be used in different ways as children grow.

So if you need to buy a gift for a kid who has everything, art supplies are a great way to go. This gift can also work for any budget too, since you can decide how much you put in the bag and since many supplies, like crayons and glue sticks, are inexpensive.

It’s a great gift idea for a child of any age, and is sure to be enjoyed for years afterward.
