Best Kids' Drawing Kits of 2026

"I was really impressed with how this kit brought my daughters together—my 8-year-old and 18-year-old both enjoyed it and bonded while getting creative. The glow-in-the-dark paints were especially popular, and the kit had vibrant colors and a nice variety of supplies. It did get a bit messy, but that’s expected with crafts. I do wish there were more design ideas included, but overall, it’s a fantastic way to spend quality time as a family."

"I picked up this kit to do a project with my 10-year-old nephew. He loved mixing the colors and using the different brushes and stickers—it made for a really fun craft day. The paint pots are a bit small for kids, but manageable. The glow-in-the-dark paint really stands out if you use a lot of it. This kit is a great value and I’d definitely recommend it."

"This has become my go-to present for my kids’ friends’ birthdays because it’s fun, easy to use, and keeps the children entertained for hours. It’s nice to have a gift that is always a hit and encourages creativity."

"I love that the paper is thick and doesn't let markers bleed through. Plus, each pad comes with a generous number of pages—it's perfect for all my granddaughter's drawings."

"These sketch pads are always our top choice for the kids. The spiral binding makes page turning easy for little hands, and the paper stands up to crayons, markers, and even glitter pens. They're sturdy, reliable, and ready for any creative idea."

"For the price, these are a fantastic size and quality for kids who enjoy drawing. I've ordered them more than once and haven't found anything better!"

"I bought a set of eight of these cat lamp kits as gifts for a group of girls, and they were an absolute hit. The kids stayed engaged for hours, each creating their own unique lamp. The kit included everything we needed, and the night-light feature really delighted them. This is a fantastic choice for group activities or parties, and I'd definitely buy them again for birthdays or holidays."

"I picked this up for my 6-year-old granddaughter, and she and her sisters just love it. Even though it's smaller than I expected, she calls it her tiger and was thrilled. I appreciated that it was well-packaged, and the girls enjoyed being able to wash and repaint the lamp."

"This was a wonderful craft to do with my 5-year-old. The lamp is really cute, and the light is quite bright. The kit came with brushes, paint, and even a little apron—though we used the apron to protect the table. The only real surprise was the lamp is a bit smaller than I thought, but my child was still over the moon."

"I bought this art case for my daughter, and we absolutely loved it. The case is sturdy and portable, making it easy for her to carry to school or use at home. The colors are vibrant and smooth, and the variety of supplies keeps her creative for hours. I appreciate that it feels high-quality and safe for kids—definitely a worthwhile purchase!"

"As a family man who enjoys getting creative with my kids, the Crayola Inspiration Art Case has been a big hit in our home. The wide variety of colors and drawing tools keeps my kids entertained for hours, and the sturdy, organized case is perfect for travel or playdates. It's inspired a lot of creativity and helps keep the art supplies tidy—a great value and a fantastic gift."

"I bought this set for my friend's daughter for her 5th birthday, and she and her younger sister were thrilled with how easy it was to use and clean. The quality and value exceeded my expectations, and it kept them entertained for more than an hour. A wonderful, cute gift that's sure to please!"

"I bought this for my niece and she absolutely loves the cute stickers and coloring pages. The ring binding makes it so easy to use, and it's held up well through plenty of coloring sessions. Great quality for the price!"

"As a big fan of Strawberry Shortcake, I was thrilled to find this adorable coloring book with a gold sparkly pen. The pages are really cute and it brings back so many memories from my childhood!"

"I picked up several of these for my nieces and they were a hit! The perfect size to keep them entertained for hours, and excellent value—especially paired with a Squishmallow."

"My granddaughters are completely hooked on this Spirograph Jr.! The jumbo gears make it easy for little hands, and we've created so much beautiful artwork together. It's provided us with endless entertainment and wonderful bonding moments."

"My 3-year-old daughter absolutely adores this toy. It works perfectly with thin markers, and I love that the tray snaps shut so we can take markers and paper on the go. It's really convenient for travel and keeps her engaged."

"The product is sturdy and simple to use—my granddaughter quickly made perfect spiro pictures. The instruction sheet is clear about which cog and number create each design, making it easy to explore different patterns. Highly recommend for creative kids!"

"The Crayola coloring book has become a favorite in our home. The engaging designs, thick paper, and bold images make it ideal for toddlers and young children. I appreciate that it works well with crayons and markers, and it truly keeps my little one happy and creative whether we're at home or on the go. It's a perfect screen-free activity for ages 3 and up."

"As a fan of Disney, I was thrilled with this coloring book! There are scenes from multiple Disney movies and an impressive number of pages. I especially like that it's all coloring—no activity pages—and the paper holds up well to markers. There are even extra pages at the back with lesser-known Disney characters, which was a pleasant surprise."

"I bought this for my 3-year-old, and she was delighted with the variety of characters and the bonus sticker sheets. The book's size is a great value. However, I noticed that some favorites like Fancy Nancy and Elena of Avalor have fewer pages than others, and there's a larger section for Vampirina, which isn't quite to our taste. Overall, we're happy, but a more balanced character selection would be nice."

"I really appreciate that this set has no tiny pieces to misplace, which was always an issue with the classic version I had as a child. The variety of wheels and shapes is fantastic, and it’s just as fun and creative as I remember. My daughter enjoys making all sorts of unique patterns, and the starter pens are handy, though we also use other pens for more options. It’s a great way for kids to be creative independently."

"What stands out to me is how well this kit works, even with regular ballpoint pens or pencils. The templates are safely attached to the frame, so there’s nothing to lose, making it perfect for travel or at-home play. My child has been completely engaged, and even we adults love getting in on the fun. The only thing I’d improve is the quality of the included pens, but swapping them out for finer ones makes a big difference."

"I bought this for my granddaughter because I remember loving these sets myself. The all-in-one design keeps everything tidy and easy to store, and the patterns it creates are beautiful. My granddaughter was thrilled with how easy it was to use. I’d recommend picking up some extra pens for more color choices, but overall, it’s an excellent creative gift."

"My grandkids were thrilled with these coloring books! They were just the right blend of princesses, unicorns, and mermaids—all their favorites in one set. Plus, the price was very reasonable."

"I’ve been looking everywhere for a coloring book with only coloring pages and no extra activities for my granddaughter, and these are by far the best I’ve found. She loves tearing out the pages to share with friends, and I’ve already reordered for her!"

"These coloring books are excellent quality, and my daughter can easily follow the dark lines while coloring. The cute pictures keep her entertained for hours, and she especially loves the mermaid theme. I highly recommend these for any child who enjoys coloring."

"I love that these pads are the ideal size for little hands, and the paper is thick enough to handle markers and crayons without bleeding. With 50 sheets in each pad and a 4-pack, there's plenty of paper for all my kids' creative projects. It's a fantastic value for any young artist!"

"My great-grandchildren and great-niece and nephew all enjoy drawing on these pads! The size is truly perfect for young kids, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for art supplies for children."

"These sketch pads are just right for my 6-year-old granddaughter, who goes through a lot of paper practicing her art. They're small enough for her to take on the go—whether in her bookbag or at the kitchen table. Bigger than a notepad but smaller than a notebook, they're perfect for kids."
