Art and Craft Activities from Djeco

Thursdays is when we usually get lots of housework done, sometimes some baking and definitely an afternoon indoor activity, usually around the table. Our older kids are in school and we love to pull out a special activity or craft to do with our littler kids. We love so many items from Djeco but today we wanted to share all about some table activities that are perfect for those stay-at-home afternoons.

The colouring gallery is a newer item to us from DJECO. This packet comes with 3 large posters that children can colour. Each poster has some suggestions by the artist that your child can follow or you can let your child use their imagination and run wild!

Les Demoiselles is a fun twist on paper dolls. With this activity, children can choose a large doll cutout and add their own unique colours to create beautiful, fashionable paper dolls. You can display them as an art gallery or play pretend and use them in imaginative play as well.

The You and Me bracelet sets are a wonderful birthday gift idea for any craft loving child. Each kit comes with everything you need to make two bracelets. What makes this craft kit even more special, is it comes with 2 bags and 2 cards so you can make the bracelets and then give them as a thoughtful gift to someone else. We love this idea of making something to share with others!

If you have young children, these kits are an excellent introduction to stamps. Each themed kit comes with a variety of different scenes on paper, selection of stamps as well as ink pads. Children can use the ink pads and stamps to create unique scenes such as a road map, a field of flowers or a woodland forest. All of our kids enjoying this activity from ages 3 all the way up to our 9 year olds! This kit is ready to go so all you need to do is open and create.

These Djeco products are available at DillyDally, Vancouver Kidsbooks, Buddies Toy Store and Mastermind Toys
