Frida was delighted to be chosen to review the Horse Puppet Kit by Crafty Kids. It arrived in an attractive sturdy box and contained four good sized glass bottles of different colour paint; one paint brush and one pot of glue. Inside the box are various parts to make up the Horse Puppet. The parts are made from strong cardboard that you paint, add the “puppet strings” to, and finish off with fluffy manes and tails.
Frida and her friend spent an afternoon painting all the various pieces which we left to dry overnight before threading the horse together the following day.
I was pleased to see that the kit contained both white and black tails and manes so your child can choose which colour they prefer. The individual paint pots were generous in size, unlike some of the small plastic containers you receive in craft kits and, even better, they had screw on tops so can easily be used (and reused) by children.
Frida enjoyed doing the activity and, more importantly, it had good quality components and took a reasonable time to complete. She was pleased to be able to make and put together a puppet with very little adult supervision needed.
I asked Frida and her friend if they thought this was a good activity and they both responded very positively. It would make a good present for a child and I would certainly look at buying it in the future.
