I have a middle school girl on my list. Anyone know a fun craft item I can buy her? I was thinking of getting her a book on jewelry making with a few beads. Any other hot crafts the kids are doing these days?

My daughter has nieces who do scrapbooking. Other than that, I have no clue what kids that age are into. I got my nieces journals and nice pens, but they are in college. I thought I'd get them writing.

Last summer, my 12 year old nephew was doing oragami.

Beads and that rope stuff is awsome in the kids eyes!
My son even likes that> He likes the hemp rope used to do the beads with. They call them friendship bracelets and they have an ENORMOUS supply at Hobby Lobby. I cannot go in there very often as they just have so much stuff!
Scrapbooking too.
Card making and those color in posters are great or a sketch pad with pencils erasers and or paints etc.
They love all that stuff and don't forget a journal!

Good suggestion for a journal, Nancy! The best age to start them off.

Don't forget jigsaw puzzles. You can get the 3-D ones if you want to give this child some challenges. I personally don't like those, but they might.

Jewelry-making is very hot. It can get expensive, but Michael's has some inexpensive starter equipment and beads.

Girls are also doing a lot of knitting and crocheting with fancy yarns.

My youngest daughter is into the hemp & bead bracelets.
