Tell Toybox Tales with kids' art and craft toys   

If there’s one method of play that never gets old, it’s kids' art and crafts. From the littlest toddler to the oldest family member, all kinds of creative wonders are sparked with the simplicity of pen and paper – or any other medium, for that matter!

With a whole range of kits, raw materials, and colouring mediums on offer, our collection satisfies the urge for creative expression while nurturing fine motor skills and visual development. Watch as kids spend hours making, and then decorating their own paper planes and origami creations with crayons, scented markers, and other craft accessories.

Everything from candle-making sets to paint kits for kids is stocked to inspire budding artists. Keep the kiddies occupied with Make Your Own Dreamcatcher and Pom Pom animal sets, where they’re free to let their imagination run wild, away from screens.

The beauty of these projects is that after the session is over, their creation becomes a keepsake; a unique souvenir of the time spent immersed in the wonderful world of imaginative play. Decades on, these keepsakes become reminders of childhood, telling their own little stories.

Stock up on a whole variety of fun little craft projects, and watch as the magic of creative play turns blank pages into something special.

Spark imaginative play with crayons and paint kits for kids

Works of art begin with a blank page and a colouring medium and end in something beautiful. No matter what age your little one is at, the ideas, visions, and feelings swirling around in their little minds are best expressed graphically – and what better way to do that than through art?

Crayons, paint, colouring pencils, and chalk are just a few of the mediums we have on hand, ready to transport kids into another world. While they pour their visions onto paper, hand-eye coordination strengthens, fine-tuning visual skills, as well as the ability to communicate. These are all essential elements for success later in life!

There is no right or wrong way to create art, and there are no limits to the mediums used. We even have colouring drops in our bath toys collection, which turn bath time into a work of art in its own right. Try them out and enjoy the reactions!

At Toybox Tales, we live for those precious moments when kids find joy through play. We’ve seen that moment countless times in our Hampton store and on local deliveries - and we just can’t get enough of it!

Whether you choose to shop our art and craft supplies online or in-store, that moment is sure to arrive. We truly have everything for all age groups, including toys for babies, so don’t worry if your little ones aren't quite at the drawing and crafting stage yet!

One of the best ways we recommend using these products is by scheduling sessions in or saving them for rainy days. It’s always a good idea to expand the capacity for play into other realism, especially outdoors – one look at our active toys and you’ll see exactly what we mean.

The good news is, our art products are easy to order online and easy to mail out. What you see online is what you get – there’s nothing else to it. Take your pick and surprise the kiddies with something new for their next indoor play session, then sit back and see what they come up with.
