I think I have just entered one of the hardest stages for buying Christmas presents EVER! The 12 year old stage, or should I say TWEEN stage! My daughter has always been very easy to please with any girly gift from the pink aisle at Walmart, but ever since last year she seems to be getting harder to buy for. First because I am having a hard time letting go of my baby girl growing up and not wanting a baby doll for Christmas, and second because she really can’t decide what she wants. Does she still want a barbie, or Pet Shop or does she want new boots, a sweater and earrings. This year on the top of her list was a horse….ya, that’s not gonna happen. It’s on the top of all her list and on art papers all over her room. Neither of us can seem to figure our the perfect gift for her. One thing I do know my daughter loves is craft/artsy stuff. Today I’m excited to tell you about these cool new Cool Brand Crafting Kits that would be a perfect gift for any tween in your life! – Knit’s Cool™ & Text Cool™.
These Cool Brand crafting kits are an awesome, unique and very fun gift for any child, boy or girl, but especially for those tweenage girls in your life! We have bought a few crafting kits for our kids and some we haven’t really loved, but this is the real deal. Both kits do exactly what they say they are going to do and they are awesome!
Cool Crafting Kits – The Perfect Gift for Tweens
The first kit is the Text Cool kit. We pulled it out on a Sunday afternoon and it kept the kids entertained for a while. Kids this age love lots of stuff on their wrist, and they also love to write and send “cool” messages to their friends.
With the Text Cool you get to turn texts into a fashion statement you can wear on your wrists! The kit includes an easy to use Bracelet Studio, featuring over 60 letters and emoticons and 35 bracelets to wear and share. The only thing I can recommend about this is to do it on a hard surface. Creativity and crafts go hand in hand, Text Cool™ lets you get your creative messages on your wrists for the world to see!
My kids all made different ones. Some said the name of their BFF, and some just had cute pictures of dogs or other animals. I even made one that says “I Love My Kids” (A reminder for when they are driving me crazy!)
A few years ago my sister was down visiting and taught my daughter how to crochet. She has taught herself a ton since then and loves making fun stuff from yarn, but it takes forever. She tried learning to knit, but realized with those needles going at the same time, it is was pretty hard. 
This new Knit’s Cool Knitting Studio is awesome, and it going to be used a ton…even by me. My daughter has decided to knit everyone a scarf for Christmas this year. She just got her first one done, and I think it turned out great! Knitting is not easy, but with the The Knit’s Cool™ Knitting Studio it makes learning to knit super easy. The paper instructions were a little bit hard to understand for us, but if you watch the easy How-To videos online it explains it perfectly! With the Knit’s Cool™ Studio, you can easily design your favorite fashions – think scarves, boho headbands, cute purses and more. With different post sizes to make the size of your stitches different it is easy and actually really fun to do. (Yes, I even tried it)
We pulled out her Knitting kit the other day when my daughters best friend (BFF) was over, they had a lot of fun! There is nothing like knitting with your best friend while wearing matching pants! They made matching head bands. Since then LaLa has made a scarf and a bracelet! She carries this knitting kit all around now. She knit the scarf while watching a movie the other night! Proud of my little multi Tasker!
You can buy Text Cool™ products at Target, Walmart, Amazon and Toys R’ Us.
