Baker Ross has a fabulous range of home craft kits and the box of summer crafts we received from them certainly didn’t disappoint. My two children love arts and crafts and couldn’t wait to get started! We started with the Rainbow Lacing kits which they did when a couple of friends came over. All the children were totally engrossed and loved this craft.
Firstly they had great fun using a pencil to punch out the centres of the pre cut holes in which the laces go. Then they laced around the rainbow adding beads at the end before sticking cloud and sun stickers to give it a 3d effect.
Another lacing craft we did was the Wooden Frame Lacing which I wasn’t sure how keen they would be but both of them were so enthusiastic and wanted to do these, it surprised me. They sat eagerly in the garden totally engrossing themselves in picking coloured strands of wool and threading them across the frame.
And here are their finished results!
The Garden Gnome Wind Chimes caused a lot of excitement over who was going to colour which design. We also received some acrylic decoration pens which I was very impressed with. They were so easy to use and left really vibrant colours on the wood as we coloured without any mess.
I loved the children’s creations and couldn’t wait to hang them in the garden.
Finally we set to work on this cute little craft baskets which the Deco pens worked perfectly on. We also had some stick on gems, which had a simple peel off back to add some glitz to the baskets.
4yr old Mister B did his own designs, while 7yr old Miss M decorated some baskets especially for Nanny as it’s her birthday coming up and we are going to get some chocolates to put inside and use as a gift bag.
My children have absolutely loved the Baker Ross craft kits and have sat down over many days trying out different ones. These are all perfect to occupy little ones over the summer holidays and are simple to do, but effective when completed.
All reviews are my own and my family’s opinions and we received the products in order to write the review.
We had the same things to review and absolutely loved everything!
It looks like you had a lot of fun! Great creations x
