Curiosity Kits - Wrap It Up Treasure BoxAre you looking for ways to encourage creativity in your children? Well, why don't you try out some activity kits? Activity kits consist of arts, crafts and other imaginative activities all packaged in a box, complete with instructions.

I recently came across some very interesting activity kits from Action Products International. They are reasonably priced, well packaged and most importantly keep your child constructively occupied. Here's what I liked the most:

I Dig Prehistoric Shark™ Excavation Adventure
I loved the idea behind this activity kit. There's a piece of rock containing a tiny prehistoric shark replica and 2 shark's teeth replicas in the kit. Your child can pretend to be an archaeologist as he/she chips away at the rock with the included tools - a hammer, a steel chisel and plastic goggles. It's a real thrill to be able to find and successfully excavate the hidden treasures! This kit is good for ages 6 and up.

Curiosity Kits® Paw Print Frame™
This is an activity kit especially meant for dog and cat lovers. You can actually take an imprint of your pet's paws and also write your pet's name in the soft bake-able clay. The paw prints frame a picture holder which can hold 4 pictures of your pet. You can customize the frame with the 5 colors of paint included. This is an excellent gift for a pet lover.

Curiosity Kits® Wrap it Up Treasure Box™
A lovely activity kit for a little girl. The end result is a pretty treasure box wrapped in pink and purple tulle. Here's the review of the Curiosity Kits® Wrap it Up Treasure Box.
