Look what I made!  We’ve all heard those words, children love to proudly show off their latest drawing or craft project.  We have a bumper range to suit all ages and interests, from simple colouring books to complex model making kits.

A brilliant set for younger children is Step by Step Drawing, to learn in simple steps and gain a real sense of achievement.  The set contains 12 step-by-step drawing prompt cards, each card is separated into 4 simple steps to follow, each adding detail until the final result is achieved and coloured in, simple and effective.  The cards are dry-wipe too, so you can rub it out and start again as often as you like!

To draw and colour you need pens, pencils or paint and we can help with all of these – some you can personalise with the child’s name too, no squabbling over who they belong to when the name is printed on them.

We also have these gorgeous felt-tip pens, they’re double-ended, one end is thicker and gives a brush-like stroke, the other end is fine and perfect for drawing or details.

A clever way to encourage creativity is with a themed set, find a subject you child is interested in, perhaps space or dinosaurs and they will probably enjoy a craft set connected with the theme. Build-your-own solar system, is fascinating – a game and an activity set.

Or for the dinosaur fan, Dino World Paint and Play, is a painting set and a game or for older children they might enjoy, Crystal Growing Dinosaur Terrarium, there’s even some chemistry in that set and they will certainly be proud of their efforts,  the end result is stunning!

Learn the basic skills of knitting, sewing, cross stitch and French knitting and the skills will stay with you for life! Encourage these skills with one of our selection of crafting sets, we have so many to choose from, our advice is always choose something for the right age group, if something is too challenging (or too easy) it can be disheartening and the child might lose interest too quickly.  Great results can be accomplished when basic skills are mastered, younger children will enjoy the sense of satisfaction when they make a sweet pencil case or notepad cover with the First Sewing Set or an older child would appreciate their own sewing box Sewing Suitcase full of everything you need to learn to sew, cut patterns and make projects.
