Creative Crafts~A wide variety of craft kits for children of different ages, abilities and interests. From beads kits to paper making there is something for everyone to get creative. Our Science section also has "things to make" of a more technical nature.~~~1228~1491~~

Each figure comes with a mini paint palette (6 colours) and quality brush and some can be bought as sets of 2 or 4. 5+~~~1228~8829~~
