A kids craft kit is a great way to spend a few hours (and get a bit of peace) during school holidays – especially when it’s a bit hot outdoors.
As the parent of school-aged kids, I know that a new craft kit can buy me a bit of time to tick some tasks off my to-do list.
These guided art and craft kits don’t require you to have an art studio set up in your home, and are lots of fun for kids to use.
