How to choose an arts and crafts kit

Start with the recommended age and the type of activity involved. Some projects contain small parts or require more detailed assembly, while others are designed around colouring, decorating or moulding. Review the product listing and packaging for age guidance, warnings and any adult-supervision requirements.

Check the contents list before purchasing, as paints, glue, tools, batteries or other materials may not always be included. It is also worth reviewing the expected project size, preparation instructions and whether the finished item requires drying, setting or curing.
