How to Choose a Creative Activity Gift for Kids

Finding a great children’s gift has become surprisingly difficult.

Their rooms are already filled with toys. You don’t know what they already own. You don’t know which character they’re currently obsessed with. And the last thing most parents need is another plastic toy destined for the bottom of a bin.

So what if you gave them something different?

Give them something to do.

That’s what makes a MyLittlePicassos such a fun gift.

It’s Not Just a Present. It’s the Activity, Too.

Every MyLittlePicassos banner is a giant 2-foot-by-6-foot coloring adventure.

Roll it out and suddenly the gift becomes the afternoon activity.

One child can color it independently, or siblings, cousins, friends—and yes, grown-ups—can all grab a spot.

That’s part of what makes it special.

You’re not simply giving a child another possession.

You’re giving them an experience.

Match the Banner to the Kid

Have a baseball kid?

A dancer?

A soccer fanatic?

A little skier?

A tennis lover?

Choosing a design that reflects something a child already loves makes the gift feel personal without requiring you to know their clothing size, favorite toy brand or what’s already hiding in their playroom.

Keep One in the Gift Closet

There is always another birthday.

Another playdate.

Another weekend visit.

Another “Oh no, I forgot we need a gift!”

Keeping a few MyLittlePicassos tucked away means you’re ready with a gift that’s easy to give but doesn’t feel generic.

Add crayons, markers or colored pencils, tie it with a ribbon and you’re done.

Give Bigger Fun

We believe children’s gifts don’t always have to mean more stuff.

Sometimes the best gift is simply something that gives a child permission to sit down, imagine, create and have fun.

And when that canvas happens to be six feet long?

Even better.

Big fun for little hands.
