These kid-friendly DIY kits include mess-free tie dye kits and eraser design craft sets.
When it comes to craft projects that are mess-free, easy and fun for the whole family, standouts include the Swirl & Style Tie Dye Studio Maker. With tie dye prints regaining mass popularity recently, this fun kit celebrates the 70s-inspired patterns. It includes vibrant fabric paint and a self-contained orb compartment for one's fabric of choice -- making the tie dye process easier and less messy for kids.
Build-A-Bear's Workshop Stuffing Station kits are another crowd favorite and are specially designed for at-home use. The retailer -- bast known for its in-store, customizable bear-building workshops -- brings the experience of creating one's very own plush toy at home. Each kit features three unstuffed plush animals with different outfits, a heart and their very own birth certificates. Additionally, the kits are sold with three bags of stuffing and 20 fun paper accessories that encourage creative play.
