Based in Brooklyn, online retailer Uncommon Goods works with a community of artists, designers, as well as their own in-house team to bring you fun, quirky, and thoughtfully designed items. That, of course, includes a carefully curated selection of craft kits that allows you to engage the little ones in sensory play. 

There’s stuff to keep adults entertained too, such as a botanical soap making kit, a custom nail polish DIY kit and even a kit for temporary tattoos that are also scented! The site ships internationally, and we’d recommend getting a few things from the site to make it worth the shipping cost!

When was the last time you visited a Toys R Us? They have a whole section dedicated to craft and activities, such as jewellery making, drawing and slime making. And don’t worry if you can’t make it down to the physical store - for purchases below $80, they’ll charge $6 for the delivery fee, but it’s free if you spend $80 and above.
