It was cheap a huge hit. Might be nice to add that in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/art-gift-basket#post-2624966 Wed, 21 Sep 2016 14:29:21 +0000 Cole 2624966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They aren't wet or really even sticky but they'd probably smudge if you really rubbed them. They are kind of like writing with lipstick but they won't transfer color that much. I'd say they are less mess than oil pastels but more than plain crayons. My toddler discovered that they write beautifully on skin so that's the current downside here... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/art-gift-basket#post-2624940 Wed, 21 Sep 2016 13:54:11 +0000 looch 2624940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cole: do those slick sticks dry, or do they remain tacky to the touch? I've been wanting to try them, but I am not sure what they are like!</p> <p>I recently bought the following for my son:<br /> poster board pieces, like arros, balloons, etc<br /> poster board in legal size, plain white<br /> alphabet stickers<br /> mod podge<br /> stamp pads (6 pack of rainbow stripe)<br /> tempera paint cakes<br /> craft bucket with pipe cleaners, googly eyes, popsicle sticks<br /> glitter glue<br /> scrapbook paper<br /> foam shapes<br /> markers (crayola makes this tri-tip ones that are unusual)<br /> paper trimmer, hole punch </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/art-gift-basket#post-2624919 Wed, 21 Sep 2016 13:25:28 +0000 Cole 2624919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love the Crayola slick sticks! They are a great texture and not many people have them it seems but they are easy to find. </p> <p>Tempera cakes are on my next to try list. </p> <p>Blank books or canvas panels might also be really fun and special for a 4 year old. </p> <p>Stamps and ink are awesome. </p> <p>You could also print a craft idea or 2 off of Pinterest and include the stuff they would need. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/art-gift-basket#post-2624908 Wed, 21 Sep 2016 13:09:20 +0000 PinkElephant 2624908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>-big pack of colored printer paper/card stock<br /> - Crayola pipsqueaks washable markers<br /> -a couple of colors of elmers washable glitter glue<br /> -pipe cleaners*<br /> -Google eyes*<br /> - foam shapes*<br /> - pony beads* (if this won't upset parents as a choking hazard for siblings)<br /> - sequins/rhinestones*</p> <p>* items are easy to grab I. The craft section of dollar tree. If you're there anyway, maybe add some stickers or one or two of those sticker "mosaic" kits</p> <p>I'd put it in a sterilite container with a lid - I found done hot pink ones at Target that were fun. You could also personalize the container with her name in market, paint or stickers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/art-gift-basket#post-2624892 Wed, 21 Sep 2016 12:42:31 +0000 Bao 2624892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm thinking of doing an art gift basket or similar for a birthday party this weekend. What would you put in it for a 4 year old and what would you put the supplies in? She said she loves coloring/drawing/crafts so I'm assuming she's not too picky about messy stuff. </p>
