Crafty Kids Christmas Gift Guide PLUS £180+ prize giveaway

The festive season is fast approaching and I dare say the majority of us crafters are already up to our eyeballs in glitter, elves and baubles.
If you’re anything like me, you’ve enjoyed crafting from a young age, every year my Christmas list would be full of things like new pen sets, candle making kits, a potters wheel (I got this one year, it ran on 4 massive D batteries and it caused a lot of mess – clay splats everywhere!) Maybe your kids have inherited your love of crafting and are always trying to get into your supplies?

We’ve rounded up a great selection of craft gifts for kids of all ages and interests to give you a helping hand with the Christmas shopping and we’re even giving you the chance to win a massive prize bundle of over £180 worth of the gifts included in our Crafty Kids Chritsmas Gift Guide!
