Mess is the first question, so ask the parents what they allow. Sticker scene books, sketchbooks and the pin art board leave nothing to clean up. Modeling clay and a paint set need a table and a wipe-down afterward, and they reward a child who will sit and make things for a long stretch. A craft kit gives a child a finished project to show. For a child who draws all the time, a stack of sketchbooks will always get used.
