Christmas Stocking Stuffers for Creative Kids

As long time readers of Childhood 101 will know, the value of children creating is close to my heart (so much so that I wrote a book about it that you can see here). Every Christmas and birthday my girls receive art materials to encourage them to express their ideas creatively. If you know a creative kid (or even a not-so-creative-one), this list of Christmas Gift Ideas for Creative Kids features all of our favourite art supplies!
