What is a good stocking stuffer that kids will actually use?

The Melissa & Doug Scratch Art Box Set is a rare stocking stuffer that doesn’t end up in the trash by New Year’s. The scratch tool reveals rainbow colors underneath a black coating — low-mess because there’s no paint, glue, or glitter, but high-creativity because each page produces striking results. It’s an art activity that doesn’t require table covering, wet wipes, or a change of clothes.
