Make an elephant's head using this cardboard kit. All the pieces are pre-cut and there's no need for glue.  The instructions are simple.  Slide the numbered tabs into corresponding slots.  It can be a little fiddly so a little adult supervision may be necessary.

Children will love the completed mask and they're big enough for adults too.

Pompom making is one of the simplest, most appealing craft activities you can do. Therapeutic for adults, boredom-busting and satisfying for children and, the great thing is, boys seem to enjoy it as much as girls.

This set contains almost all you need to make a pompom chick, sheep and rabbit.  The only thing extra you'll need is a sharp pair of scissors, a pencil and some glue. You get two re-usable plastic pompom makers, five balls of wool, various bits of felt, an envelope containing 6 googly eyes, pipecleaners and full instructions.

When these kits first came into the shop, my ten-year old daughter decided to make the rabbit.  It took her about an hour doing it by herself and she was justly proud of the end result. 

Suitable for children 5 years old and upwards with adult supervision. Please keep the kit away from younger children as the wool can be a strangulation/choking hazard.
