If you have a creative kid, you've almost certainly scrubbed and tried to bleach away at the marks left behind from art projects gone messy. Special smocks, drop cloths, newspapers spread under the table...all valiant efforts, but in the end, that creative kid is going to find a way to wear the marks of his or her hobby.

Maybe the best solution is to quit trying to keep those shirts clean. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!

This year Ralph Lauren Childrenswear introduced the ultimate activity for artsy kids who are into fashion: the Paint Your Polo Kit.

Kids who love arts and crafts projects will go crazy for this kit. For $50 you get a white Ralph Lauren polo shirt, and six tubes of non-toxic fabric paint. Both the boy's and girl's versions also include sponge brushes and stamps, as well as those all important instructions.

The best part about this kit is that 100% percent of the net proceeds from the kits bought at Ralph Lauren Childrenswear stores or website will be donated to the Ralph Lauren Pink Pony Fund, which is part of the Polo Ralph Lauren Foundation, and will benefit will be the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center's Pediatric Art Program.

If you're looking for a fun, creative gift that has the added benefit of helping some kids who really something special for the holidays, this is a great option!
