Need help finding craft kits for children

[AlarmOnSnooze]

I have 2 craft obsessed children. I am reasonably handy, and can turn my hand to many things, but I cannot envisage thigns to make/do - kits all the way for me.

so, dd1 (9, has severe ASD) has expressed a desire to make 'a meerkat craft' - HELP!

she has the skills of a 3-4 year old, in reality, but does really enjoy craft. things like cross stitch would be beyond her, I think. and please, not the sequin craft kits - never again with those buggers!

any ideas/patterns/templates/kits that anyoen knows of to help dd1 'make a meerkat' (most things considered)

many thanks.

hama beads or sewing felt pieces together with some support has been good with my similar children.

Do you have a Pinterest account? You'll be spoiled for choice there!

Meerkat : Upright toilet/kitchen roll tube. Paint it meerkat colour. Add ears, tail (pipe cleaner? Wool? string? Cut out paper?) white dots for eyes, little paws from pipe cleaners or card/felt/etc. make a family in different heights.

I agree with IDugUp you need Pinterest. So easy, just search what you would like to do, by type of material, subject, age range, whatever, and it will offer you so many ideas.

Children craft supplies available cheaply in so many places these days

The range is fab for kits

How about Decopatch? My 4 year old lives this and they have Meerkats here: www.thedecopatchplace.co.uk/odp?product_id=1247

Sainsburys have got an Easter Craft Pack at the moment. I can't find it online but it was £5 in my local store. You can't see from the picture but it also includes about 10 pipe cleaners in different colours.
