Keeping kids busy on days off can be quite a challenge! That is why I have shared so many individual craft ideas for kids and lists like this one full of boredom busters.

If you start searching, there are tons of craft kits out there for you to purchase. How do you know which one is best? Well, there are reviews, and these can definitely help.

I suggest reading the reviews to see what similar parents felt about the kit. These don’t always give you an idea of how one kit is better than another. For me, a craft kit is perfect if it meets all of the following criteria:

  • Includes everything needed right in the box
  • Is age appropriate
  • Gives some guidance but also allows creativity
  • Has kids work towards a goal or finished product
  • Can be used more than once or takes multiple days to complete
  • Is reasonably priced

With these things in mind, I’ve compiled a list of the 20 best craft kits for kids. Just scroll down to see the list and let me know which one you like best.
