If you are comparing painting toys, start with how much mess you want. These three styles cover most households.
The Reusable Magic Water Painting Book with Pen (Ages 3+) is the lowest-mess way to start. The refillable pen holds clean water only, and the colour fades as the page dries (about 10 minutes for a fully wet page), so the same scene can be revealed again. Each book has 12 scenes, and you can choose from eight themes including dinosaurs, space, trains and numbers.
The Fingerprint Art Kit for Kids โ 12 Ink Pads & Draw Cards has 12 ink pads and a choice of 16 or 32 draw cards. Kids press a fingertip on a pad, then on the card, and each print becomes a balloon, a petal or a lion's mane. There are no brushes or paint pots, which makes it an easy kitchen-table activity.
The Decorate Your Own Animal Mask Kit โ 8 Masks with Watercolour Pens includes 8 paper masks with elastic bands and 6 watercolour pens. The Paint Your Own Suncatchers Kit โ 5 Pieces (Window Art & Keychains) includes 5 suncatcher and keychain pieces to paint, but the listing does not mention paints, so have your own ready.
At four, many kids want something to show off at the end. The best craft kits for 4-year-olds give a clear result and need little help once the first step is shown. These are listed for ages 3 and up:
The Decorate Your Own Paper Cups Sticker Kit โ Animals & Nature (Ages 3โ6) is listed for ages 3 to 6 and needs no scissors. For more age-by-age ideas, read our guides to the best craft toys for 4-year-olds, 3-year-olds and kids of every age.
Older kids usually want a more detailed project. The Kids Card Making Kit โ Make Your Own Greeting Cards (Ages 6+) includes a card, an envelope and decorative materials, with five patterns to choose from. The Diamond Painting Keychain Kit for Kids โ Christmas Gem Art (Ages 6+) comes with the tools and materials listed for the project, but it has small parts and needs adult supervision.
For a thinking challenge, Symmetry Drawing Cards for Kids โ Draw the Other Half come in basic, intermediate and advanced levels, so a child can move up as they improve. More ideas are in our guides to craft toys for 6-year-olds and arts and crafts gifts for 10-year-olds.
The Colour Your Own Bag Kit with Markers โ 5 or 10 Pack comes with either 5 bags and 5 markers, or 10 bags and 10 markers. The animal masks come as a set of 8, and the crown kit is sold as 1, 3 or 5 pieces. Check the quantity on the product page rather than judging the pack by its main image.
The Christmas Diamond Painting Keychain Kit for Kids โ Christmas Gem Art (Ages 6+) makes a handmade ornament or bag tag. The DIY Christmas Advent Calendar Boxes โ 24 Pack Countdown Gift Boxes is a 24-piece set of 7 x 7 x 7 cm boxes for candy, cookies or small toys.
Many kits here sit under $20. For more affordable picks, see our guide to creative toys under $40. Some options, such as the suncatcher pieces and crowns, ship in random styles, so do not promise a specific design.
Confirm what is supplied. Do not assume paint, glue or brushes are included unless the listing says so.
A washable mat or reusable table cover saves a lot of cleaning up.
Put small pieces in a shallow tray so they do not roll onto the floor.
Wipe little fingers between colours, especially with ink pads.
Set it aside before paint or glue is opened, and keep an envelope or box for finished work.
When buying for someone else's child, choose a kit with clearly stated age guidance and an obvious finished result. A project that needs specialist tools before it can start may stay in the box.

Toys4us ships within Australia only. The shipping cost is calculated at checkout from the weight, size and address of your order, and a tracking number is sent once it is dispatched. Processing and delivery times are in the shipping policy.
Change-of-mind returns must be made within 14 days, with the item unopened, unused and in its original packaging, and are offered as an exchange or store credit. Damaged or faulty items are replaced or fully refunded. Because opened craft kits cannot be returned for a change of mind, check the age and contents before you open the pack. Full details are in the refund policy.
Look for kits listed for ages 3 and up with a clear finished result. The fingerprint art kit, animal mask kit, spiral art set and sequin crown kit all suit this age. Show the first step, then let your child take over.
The reusable water painting book uses clean water only. The spiral art set needs no paints, and the fingerprint art kit uses ink pads instead of brushes and paint pots. Cover the table with any of them until you know how the kit behaves.
It depends on the kit. The animal masks include 6 watercolour pens, the colour your own bags include markers and the diamond painting keychain kit lists its tools. The suncatcher kit does not list paints, so read each listing before ordering.
Try the card making kit, the diamond painting keychain kit or the advanced level of the symmetry drawing cards. Both 6+ kits are for kids who can follow steps and handle small pieces with supervision.
The colour your own bag kits (5 or 10 bags), animal masks (8 per set) and crown kits (1, 3 or 5 pieces) can be shared out. Add one kit per child and keep a drying area for finished pieces.
Not always. Some options, such as the suncatcher pieces and the crowns, are listed as random styles. Pick the option with the quantity you want and treat the design as a surprise.
Follow the age on each listing. Kits with small parts, such as the colour your own bags and diamond painting keychains, are not for children under 3, and an adult should supervise younger children with any kit.
Yes, Toys4us delivers within Australia. Unopened, unused kits can be returned for an exchange or store credit within 14 days, and damaged or faulty items are replaced or refunded. See the shipping and refund policies for the details.
Compare the kits above, open the one that suits your child and check its age, contents and availability before adding it to your cart. For more ideas, browse our Montessori toys and wooden toys.
