"&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;When a special child is sick, you want to send a get-well message that goes beyond a card or call. If your special child is in another city, you can mail a small gift that he will enjoy. Send the gift on its way with these ideas for get-well gifts for children.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Choose something simple and colorful; possibly geared to a slightly lower age level, and never above. You don&amp;amp;#39;t want to send something too unfamiliar or complicated to a child who doesn&amp;amp;#39;t feel well. If the child is in a hospital, a soft stuffed animal is often just what they want, even when they are older. But it&amp;amp;#39;s also nice to have a simple amusement for the long hours in bed during recovery.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Clay Play&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Sculpey&amp;amp;#39;s Clay Club Mini-Kits and Children&amp;amp;#39;s Activity Sets are perfect introductions to clay art. Sculpey creations do require baking, so this is best for a homebound child. I like that the kits have instructions for making easy projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Crayola&amp;amp;#39;s Model Magic air dries and has a soft, pleasing texture. Look for the Model Magic kits to find instructions and Model Magic to make animals, flowers, and other easy projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Paperdolls&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Ah, paper dolls - always my favorite get-well gift as a child. You can pick up an inexpensive paper doll book at any discount store and most little girls will love it. If you really want a special paper doll book, Mary Engelbreit has two that look wonderful.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Coloring and Stickers&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;A child who doesn&amp;amp;#39;t feel well might just be in the mood for the &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://www.susanstriker.com/anticoloring.html&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;externalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot; rel=&amp;quot;nofollow&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Anti-Coloring Book&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.
