Quick Links (Click ahead!)
These are the best craft kits for girls…all fifteen of them! Do you have a crafty girl who loves to make stuff? Then you’re going to love this gift guide! When I was a kid, there was nothing I didn’t want to try. I loved the heck out of those kits that had everything in the box needed to get started.
Well, one exception…On my tenth birthday I received this Barbie doll loom kit, that consisted of pretty sparkly yarn and mini looms to knit her some cute winter duds. Only thing is (*sigh*) I could never get the hang of the looms (!)
Most kits though, I loved and used…These are the top picks for your crafty daughter, niece, or friend’s same! Not only are they fun they will teach skills like coordination and creativity.
String Art Kits for Girls
If your child takes a liking to yarn, but fumbles a little with knitting (I know I did…a story for another time) Enter string art – This is something I would have loved to have received because I know I would have gotten it!

No, sorry, she can’t pass the popcorn in this one 😁 – it’s made for decorative purposes only; it would be great to put trinkets in like jewelry.
Jewelry Making Sets
Speaking of jewelry, bracelet and necklace making kits for girls are something that never goes out of style! I used to love making jewelry, when I was growing up (the 80’s, if you’re curious) we had this thing called “friendship bracelets” which were the fad.
They were made of a thin embroidery type colorful series of threads; you could add beads to them, you’d end up giving them to your “bestie” and the making and collecting of them could get addictive!

Perler Bead Crafts – Fun and Fusion!
Perler beads are a big hit with kids (and we love them too!) These tiny little cylindrical beads come in many different colors and can be arranged in various patterns. Afterward, heat is applied to them in the form of a regular clothes iron applied, which fuses the bead design permanently. An awesome craft idea (adult supervision is encouraged for the ironing part)

Space Age Crystal Growing Kit: 4 Crystals (Quartz, Emerald, Amethyst)
Crystal Growing Set
Grow a beautiful crystal cluster! If your daughter is into science and STEM , this one is sure to be a winner. I actually received one of these kits from my aunt and uncle one Christmas and it was unlike anything I have ever seen – so I couldn’t wait to get started! I had to have a rock already to provide the base for the crystals – they didn’t get as big as I hoped; but it was fun to try.
I was like, 12, when I did this. The kit to the right I picked out looks pretty close to the one I had 😁 With this set you can grow amethyst, emeralds and quartz- amethyst is the favorite gem of royalty – so girls will no doubt enjoy this majestic purple gem as it grows. The gallery of pictures showed this kit had real potential.

I love sand art – from the last times I went to the county fair and got to have a few minutes of fun at the sand booth dipping teaspoonfuls of colorful sand in a cute shaped bottle layering it all the way to the top, I have always found sand art to be a highly underrated craft.
These here come with a variety of cute bottles (I especially love that one that’s skinny at one end) as well as a few pendants so you can wear your sand art too! They all have stoppers so you won’t lose any of that colorful sand or if it should spill. With the variety of colors included, there is sure to be tons of fun ahead.
