My youngest is 3 and has everything from her older sister.

She is really into art (finger painting/painting/cutting). We do most of it on our dining room table. Any ideas for gifts? We get one big gift from Santa for all 3, but family members want to give something and after a new doll (which we don’t need) and lite brite... I’m at a loss!

Do you have an art easel? Or room for one? That's always a good option. My uncle got DD a Step2 art table for their house (they like to steal her a lot Chat Icon) as well.

ETA: There's also things like kinetic sand, magnatiles, a thousand different kinds of markers, crayons, stampers, etc. My DD really loves the Melissa and Doug Water Wows- they are reusable and great for travel!

We LOVED the Alex craft sets.
Also, this site is great for quality, higher-end "natural" art supplies

The is tough bc there's only so many paints and markers you can go through. Some of dd's favorites are the tempera paint sticks (like a glue stick but it's bright thick paint), the small glitter glues, melissa and doug giant coloring books, target has a set of really pretty metallic shimmery watercolors. Melissa and doug favorite things is cute, it's ceramic trinket boxes you paint, target has squishies you decorate with markers, craft stores have tons of sets with paint your own vanity, rocks, jewelry boxes, etc.

Re: Art toys

My girls love the spin art machine.
Stamps are a big hit.
Bead sets too.

Also, what’s really cool are those fairy gardens. My dds love to play with them, my dh plants some little flowers in them.
