Ravensburger's Junior Mandala Designer helps kids create elaborate mandalas, which are drawings with lots of repeating patterns. The monks who design mandalas find that the attention to detail and repetition of the pattern makes it easier to focus. We hope it has the same effect on children!

L.A.-based artist (and mom!) Karen created these beautiful stencils of organic designs for kids to trace, rub and color in endless ways. We think they're great for not-so-artistic parents, too. You can actually draw something and your kid will be able to tell what it is!

3-D sidewalk chalk? Can that work? Seriously? It does! We can't explain how, but it does. Thick lines and solid shapes with lots of contrast really pop right out of the sidewalk when kids look through the plastic 3-D glasses.

A cardboard farmers-market truck? Sounds a little kooky, but kids love coloring it in with the included markers and using their imaginations. Plus, it's a chance to talk about healthy foods and about the environment. When you're done with it, toss it in the recycle bin!

My Friendship Bracelet Maker

Way back when (you know, in the '80s) we had to safety-pin our embroidery thread to some steady surface (or our socks) to knot up a friendship bracelet. Girls today have it so much easier with the My Friendship Bracelet Maker. The little loom holds the threads in place and the kit comes with free patterns for hearts, loops and even a double helix.
