We love art in my house, so a blank canvas or big roll of kid's art paper and some paints are a go-to for my kids. They make great Easter basket gifts partially because they can take up so much space and make the basket look fuller. I like to check out the discount section of my local craft store for half-off art supplies. (And another tip: I always add a little water to acrylic or tempura paints to help them go farther.)
