Crafty gift for 5-year-old girl

[ladygrey]

I need help finding a gift for our niece; she's really into art and crafty stuff. The Rainbow Loom seems cool, but it says 8+ years on the package; is that really true? Other ideas?

Got a few different patterns of these for my daughter and after a small learning curve she is surprisingly good at it.

I just got off of the phone with my sister. We gave one of our nieces a washi tape sticker book by Klutz, and she loves it. www.amazon.com/Make-Your-Washi-Tape-Stickers/dp/0545647762/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418760489&sr=8-1&keywords=klutz+washi+tape+stickers

My 5 year old is super into crafts right now.

She adores jewelry sets -- Mixy Beads, the Melissa and Doug bead sets

She also really likes the Alex Crafts kits -- one example

Also, the Melissa and Doug wooden sets that you paint and use glitter glue, like this.

I bought perler beads for 3&5yo nieces for Xmas.

I may have just ordered a ton of these to replenish my stash LOL.

Free shipping! Target 5% off red card, and totals under $10! WIN! I am impressed with these...they look like they cost much more than they are.

I asked my BFF for one for my DD for Christmas. I think she got the messenger bag but that's fine too.

I adore the chicken scratch/ klutz craft kits. They come with everything you need.

Here are some. Sometimes they are cheaper on Amazon, but they have a coupon sometimes for scholastic. Amazon has 25% off one book now too.
