Crafts encourage hand-eye coordination, teach kids how to follow directions, and are a great creative outlet. Plus, making your own accessories is cool! This funky handbag is crafty bliss. Kids thread the pre-punched felt pieces together to create a flowery handbag for any occasion. As an extra "green" bonus, the kit's cardboard packaging folds into a jewelry box! (The Little Experience, $22.99)
