Sensory Sand, Dough and Slime

Sensory craft products are a major part of this collection. Children who like squeezing, moulding, stretching and shaping can choose from sand, dough, slime and soft compound toys. These products suit repeat play because the material itself is the activity, rather than one single finished craft.

For sand based play, use the Kinetic Sand collection for sensory sand sets, refills and themed packs. For classic modelling compound, the Play-Doh collection includes tubs, multipacks and playsets for shaping, squashing and making simple models. Slime fans can also browse Gui Gui Slime for colourful slime products with a more collectable feel.

Colouring, Painting and Drawing Sets

Colouring, painting and drawing products are a good choice when you want an activity that can be started quickly at the kitchen table. This part of the range includes crayons, markers, paint sticks, watercolour sets, drawing boards, colouring books, sticker books and boxed art sets. These are strong choices for children who like pictures, patterns, characters, colour matching and simple creative tasks.

For lower mess activities, colouring books, sticker books, drawing boards, paint sticks and boxed activity products are often easier to set up and pack away than open paint, loose sand or slime. The Books collection is also useful for colouring books, sticker books, activity books, picture books and story books that can be paired with arts and crafts gifts.

Craft Kits, Loom Bands and Model Making

Craft kits are useful when you want a more guided activity with a clear project. The range includes loom band sets, jewellery style craft products, design activities, cardboard model kits and themed making sets. These suit children who like following steps, decorating, assembling or making something they can keep afterwards.

TOPModel is a strong choice for children interested in stationery, fashion design, colouring, stickers and creative gift items. Use the TOPModel collection for design books, creative sets, bags, stationery and gift products. EUGY cardboard model kits are another useful choice for children who enjoy building animals, dinosaurs, fantasy creatures and display models from numbered cardboard pieces.

Creative Gifts and Related Activity Toys

Arts and crafts toys make practical gifts because they give the child something to do, not just something to open. Smaller items such as colouring books, sticker books, slime pots, sand refills, dough packs and loom bands can work well as add on gifts. Larger art sets, modelling kits, activity cases, Play-Doh sets and Kinetic Sand playsets are better suited to birthdays, Christmas presents and bigger treats.

For related hands on learning, the STEM collection includes science and discovery toys with a more educational focus. For indoor family activities beyond craft, the Board Games collection covers children’s games, family games, party games, strategy games and classic boxed games.
