Craft kits for 5 yo boy?

[beltm]

Looking for something crafty to add to his holiday gifts. He really enjoys cutting, glueing, etc, really not drawing much at this point but likes play doh and just playing with wiki stix (doesn't actually make any discernible figures). Any suggestions for a fun craft gift? Perler beads? Any great boy sets or projects out there? Thanks!

Check out the klutz craft packs. They have many different types and age levels and reasonable prices too. I just got a $10 off email, not sure if it's a one time use though. I'm getting several sets for my nieces & nephews.

For cutting and glueing type crafts, we really like Kumon workbooks like these:

AC Moore sells these too - they are often on sale for 40% off. Or you can use a 50% off coupon (on regular price items).

We like the alex and klutz kits here.
Target has some fun art supplies in their Kid Made Modern line including this tape which is a huge hit with my 5 and 7 year olds.

sticky mosaics are great; all their stuff is:love-retry:

Thank you, good suggestions. We have a my first sticky mosaics which he enjoys but since he knows numbers now he'd probably enjoy the big kids version and that robot one looks fun!
