Calafant

These Calafant craft kits are perfect for when you want to exercise everyone’s imagination. Kids enjoy putting together the cardboard kit and then decorating what they ’made’. Calafant’s German-engineered designs don’t require any glue—it’s a fold and slot system, so you can even flatten them for storage and then build again—and they don’t have any sharp edges or pointy parts. With five different designs, dinosaurs, space craft, sports cars, cottages or carriages, you’ll find a creation for all discerning tastes. The cardboard creation holds up well for after-craft time play (ours were played with by twin three-year old testers all summer long). Great for a lootbag or birthday party craft—kids will be entertained by them at the party and then can take them home. Each kit includes six non-toxic, washable markers too.
