Rainbow Looms, man.

Rainbow Looms, man. Abby made me a bracelet in my high school colors, black, red, and white. And boys love them too. My co-worker has 10 year old twins, one a future jock, and one a future nerd, and they make bracelets and keychains too.

    It's amazing to see a kid working on something with their hands instead of staring at a screen.

    If she's really enjoying it, might I suggest an Inkle loom as the next step up in complexity?

    Inkle looms are the gateway drug to floor looms, or so I hear...

This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
