Hello and welcome to everyone visiting from One Crafty Place and Kiddio!
I put a collage kit together for Huck recently using a tackle box and craft supplies my mom sent from the dollar store. Not only was it a big hit with Huck, this is now going to be my easy "go to" birthday gift for little kids.

The supplies consisted of puff balls, pipe cleaners, popsicle sticks, googly eyes, sequins, tissue paper
& some foam dinosaurs. All in, my mother assures me it was under $10 worth of goodies. I filled Huck's box with a good amount of stuff but have a ton of everything left in assorted baggies in our craft drawer.
Next time I get a birthday invitation in the mail I'll pick up a small tackle box at my local hardware store (Walmart or Target for those of you in the civilized world) for under $10. Then I'll just load that sucker up with supplies from my stash, add a pair of child's scissors and a big glue stick from the grocery store for another $3-4 and tie a big bow onto the handle. If you have paint pens or paints on hand, write the birthday boy or girl's name on the top of the box, too.
Then--Abracadabra!--a personalized, fun, engaging and inexpensive gift for any young child.
It's a really awesome sidekick to his Art Supply Caddy, too.
