toucanBox craft kits are great for younger children, or those who have difficulty using fine motor skills. The components are all really good quality and easy to use; nothing tears easily, or is too fiddly to handle, and the instructions are well illustrated and simple to follow. With some craft activities, you end up feeling like you have made it all yourself and the child has just watched, or occasionally helped out, but with all of the toucanBox craft kits we have tried you can just let them get on with it, with absolutely minimal frustration on their part and minimal adult input, and they end up being really pleased with the result. The kit concepts are engaging, the assembly process is straightforward, but creative and fun, and the finished products are really effective and something the child can be proud of having made.
