As much as I love thinking up new crafts to make with the children sometimes it’s really nice to open a ready made craft kit. We were recently sent a box of Christmas craft supplies from Baker Ross and one of our favourite activities was making up their Christmas Gift Box Kits.
The kit contained enough supplies to decorate three festive gift boxes – three circular boxes with foam stickers – and my children loved making them. My 4 year old was happy to follow the picture on the kit packaging.
He’s good at following pictorial instructions, probably due to all those Lego kits he makes, so he really enjoyed making a Father Christmas box.
His younger sister did her own thing as usual. I helped her a little with the lid but she was keen to decorate the bottom of the box and even inside with the sparkly bits.
The kit made a Snowman, Father Christmas and a Reindeer. There were a couple of arguments over who made the third box but other than that this was a great value crafty activity.
The boxes are the perfect size to contain small gifts so we’ll be putting these on the table on Christmas Day with some special treats inside for our guests.
