If your kids are crafty or enjoy science use the 40% off Michaels coupons that are in the Sunday ads and buy one of the kits they have available. The Michaels near me sells suncatcher kits, jewelry making kits, pottery kits, scrapbooking kits for kids, volcano kits, fossil kits, etc. If you buy one a week or one a month starting now you will have things on hand for this summer to entertain them.

I used to like to take the 40% off coupon and use it to buy kits like that for bday party gifts.

Great minds think alike. I used one of the coupons last week to buy a kit for my dd to take to a birthday party this weekend.

Kits never seem worth it to me. Especially scrapbook kits it says you get a bunch of things and end up with alot of little pieces of paper or they count each sticker. I guess it depends on the kit and what kind of kit it is.
