Follow this link to a comprehensive gift guide for art materials for kids. The list is broken into groups for K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12. I like it and recommend it as a good reference. Each item links to Amazon.com for a description and easy ordering. Thank you, The Art of Education! Here is the link:
