Are you shopping for a gift idea for a child who loves art? I love giving gifts that encourage kids to use their talents These are the best gift ideas for artistic kids.

It’s always so much fun to give a gift that encourages kids to explore their talents (or discover something new). There are so many great gift options out there that make perfect holiday gifts for kids or birthday gift ideas.
One of my family’s favorite things are subscription boxes, and there are some great arts and crafts themed boxes out there. A Doodle Crate from KiwiCo is a fantastic option for kids ages 9+. They have some amazing craft projects that they send out monthly. Their younger lines definitely have a crafty element but they aren’t quite as focused on artistic pursuits as the Doodle Crate is.

Art Snacks for Kids is a fantastic gift idea for artistic kids. This box comes with expertly curated, premium products and really encourages kids to get creative. This is a one-time purchase kit so you aren’t locked into a subscription.
My kids LOVE this glow in the dark rock painting kit. We’ve actually purchased it several times because we enjoyed it so much.
This Unicorn String Art Kit gives kids a beautiful piece of art to display in their rooms when it is complete and provides step-by-step instructions.

These Tiger Tribe coloring and art sets are absolutely gorgeous and perfectly packaged for a gift idea. These are best suited for kids ages 4 and up, but are such a perfect way to inspire kids to love art.
You can go old school with this Friendship Bracelet Making Kit. The holder makes it perfect for beginners and experts alike.
Every aspiring artist needs an art set. This 142-Piece Wood Art Set gives kids everything they need to explore their artistic side. If you are looking for something smaller, these Prismacolor colored pencils are known to be the best by artists. We love how vibrant the colors are!

Kids can illustrate their own book with the Lulu Jr. Illustory Book Making Kit. When they are done, they’ll receive a printed copy of their book in the mail.
I love when kids can make art that they can use or display afterward. This Multi-Craft Weaving Loom can be used to make so many different projects. This paint by Number oil Painting is gorgeous and gives kids such a sense of accomplishment.

I put together an art cart (find all the supplies here) for my girls and it has been their favorite thing for months. It really helped us organize our homeschool space and I’ve been amazed at how much more creative they’ve been having more of their supplies visible.
This hand stamped jewelry kit will let your child get creative and these would make amazing homemade gift ideas when they are finished!
