4. Watercolor
A basic pan set, one round brush, and some watercolor paper. Try painting simple shapes and letting colors blend. The happy accidents are half the fun.
5. Simple woodworking
Sandpaper, wood glue, and some pre-cut pieces make great first projects: a birdhouse, a pencil holder, or a small shelf. Always use tools with care, and with supervision for younger makers.
