Arts & Crafts gift for an 8 yr old boy?
My sister suggested I get my nephew an arts & crafts gift this year. He's 8. She said no crayons, pencils or paint. I'm at a loss. Can anyone suggest something. My budget is $50.

What about clay or like a building set where he can make a bird house or something like that?

What about the Crayola Easy Animation Studio? Or a set from Lowe's build and Grow? My son loves both things.

Check out models. Also look at AC Moore/Michaels. Last Amazon has a gift suggestion tool and Arts and crafts is one of the areas and you can search by age

Definitely quixels! My DS loved them. They are similar to perler beads but they stick together with water instead of heat (iron)

My nephews (7 and almost 9) are obsessed with perler beads.
