ARTS ‘Tis the season to be crafty IT CAN BE AN ENDURING CHALLENGE FOR PARENTS TO FIND PRESENTS THAT ENTERTAIN CHILDREN NOT ONLY AT CHRISTMAS, BUT WELL INTO THE FESTIVE SEASON. BUT FEAR NOT, AS LEADING CHILDREN ’S LIFESTYLE RETAILER ASPACE HAS A VARIETY OF SOLUTIONS DETERMINED TO AVOID THOSE FIVEMINUTE CHRISTMAS MORNING WONDERS. HOW? BY SOURCING THE MOST FUN-FILLED AND ENGAGING CRAFT-BASED GIFTS TO KEEP KIDS ENTERTAINED ON BOXING DAY AND BEYOND. From block-building to craft kits, creativity comes naturally to children. The Robotic T-Rex from ASPACE provides both the craft and the cool factor this Christmas, featuring laser-cut pieces of plywood and life-like snapping jaws once batteries are fitted (so keep an eye on the turkey). Of course, whilst boys thoroughly enjoy building projects, they are also partial to a little destruction. Build-A-Bots offer the best of both worlds: build them up, and then knock them down. The robot kit contains 36 different pieces to assemble a new robot design every time. For little fingers that never rest, the captivating Hat Box Puzzle is available in three designs: Blue Planet, Vehicles or Space.
