You know that moment when you make your list of gifts to buy for everyone at Christmas time, & you’re not entirely sure where to begin? You want to buy a gift that doesn’t involve endless plastic & packaging, & something that will encourage time off a screen too that they’ll actually want to do. Well the honest answer is that it’s really tricky. But we believe that we have craft kits that are the perfect solution to really engage children away from the obvious and inevitable, & they come with everything you need to get started & finished, so that always makes it one hundred times easier to get started. Our craft kits & gifts encourage creativity, imagination, & hands-on play, offering hours of engagement while helping kids step away from tablets, phones, & TVs. From crafting & painting to science-inspired projects, the right gifts can turn Christmas into a truly interactive & memorable experience.

For children who love to explore the wonders of the universe, the Solar System Craft Kit is an ideal choice. Kids can create a model of the solar system, learning about planets and space as they carefully assemble each piece. The tactile, hands-on nature of the craft not only sparks curiosity but also encourages focus and problem-solving skills, making it a perfect screen-free activity for inquisitive minds.

If your child enjoys creative, expressive projects, the Make Your Own Dreamcatcher Craft Kit is a fantastic option. This kit allows children to design & weave their own dreamcatchers, blending colour, texture, & pattern in a soothing, mindful activity. The process of creating something both beautiful & meaningful helps children concentrate & gives them a sense of pride in their finished piece.

For smaller, personal gifts that still foster creativity, the Daisy Beading Kit & the It’s Nice to Be Nice Bracelet Beading Kit are perfect. Kids can craft their own bracelets, experimenting with colour, pattern, & design, all while practising patience & fine motor skills. These kits also encourage sharing and kindness, as finished bracelets can be gifted to friends or family, giving children the joy of giving as well as making.

Artistic children will love the Bright Watercolour Pencils Tin, which offers a high-quality selection of vibrant watercolours in a convenient tin. Painting with these pencils allows kids to focus on blending colours & creating detailed artwork, promoting mindfulness & self-expression. Paired with a sketchbook or craft project, this kit keeps children engaged for hours without a screen in sight.

For those fascinated by history & imagination, the Make Your Own Dinosaur Scene Craft Kit provides a playful, hands-on way to build a prehistoric world. Kids can create their own dinosaur scene, developing storytelling skills & creativity while crafting models & landscapes. It’s a gift that encourages imaginative play, fine motor development, & hours of screen-free entertainment.

Why Screen Free Christmas Presents Matter

Screen free Christmas presents do more than keep children occupied - they help develop skills and nurture creativity. Crafting, building, & creating give children an opportunity to think critically, practice patience, & express themselves in meaningful ways. Choosing crafting gifts ensures that children have engaging, hands-on experiences that are both fun & educational.

These gifts also make Christmas feel extra special. Instead of hours lost in front of a screen where it’s hard to drag them away without a tantrum, children can proudly show off their handmade creations or imaginative worlds, sharing their accomplishments with family & friends. Giving thoughtful, screen-free gifts fosters a love of making & exploring. And don’t worry, there's definitely a time & a place for a cosy Christmas movie all snuggled up on the sofa. But we feel that a mix of Christmas classics on the screen alongside fresh air & creative time is the best way to get a more balanced mix this Christmas.
