My 3 year old received this Alex Toys Crafty Kit for her birthday. I think it's fantastic. There are a lot of fun things to create with it. 3 is probably the youngest I would go because it comes with some things that may not get used until they're a little older. But the scissors, glue stick, ribbons, tissue paper and shreds of paper were big hits when she opened it up! She made her dad's father's day card with it. http://amzn.to/1fF3KDp
Do you have an art kit or craft kit that your child loves?
