Craft set for 6 year old boy

[whereiscaroline]

Can anyone recommend something please?! I've been given the above as an idea but don't know where to start and can't find much online. Well I can probably find too much to be honest so if anyone's child has a set they have enjoyed I'd appreciate recommendations.

It can be difficult to find decent ones for boys as so many craft sets are uber girly.

DS got Glowbots a few years back which he enjoyed. He’s also had a build your own solar system kit and an Usborne (I think) spaceship type one.

Does he enjoy Lego? If so have a look at some of the Klutz Lego kits.

Broghtminds and Wicked Uncle are good for ideas too.

Papertown craft do good craft kits

• my 5 and 7 year old had some in lockdown and they come with everything and have plenty of non girly options. We have also had nice craft kits from cotton twist - again lots to choose from and most Aren't girly - I have recently bought the adventurer craft kit which went down well.

I bought my son aquagelz. They look really good. He already has the aquabeads and loves those.

DD aged 6 really likes aquabeads. He also likes the sticker by numbers books, and various similar with sequins etc, and also colouring in - baker rose does various 'colour in' crafts like face masks.

Hama beads are great. My DCs have spent many happy hours using them.

Hama beads maxi dinosaur or the 4M mould and paint kits.

Baker Ross website has loads of craft kits and no pink girly packaging in sight....

Hama beads

My 6 year old enjoys diamond art, hama beads, air dry clay.

My almost 6yo DS has enjoyed hama beads, glitter pens and scratch pads - Djeco do some lovely scratch art kits.
We've also liked ceramic painting and sand art kits from Baker Ross.
He's asked for aqua beads for Christmas.

Forgot to say that glitter dots have also gone down well.

Qixels are great especially if he is a Minecraft fan. Like aqua beads but square, so they can make art of their favourite Minecraft characters. I have seen some kits called jackinthebox craft kits at Hamleys and also on Amazon that look great - there is a superhero one suitable for boys for example.

Edukit have some nice craft boxes.

Hama beads = I hate you. One of my kids were given them at about 6 and I am still finding them. My kids are now almost 17 and 20.

Do a DIY one - set of paints & brushes/ pencils and paper. Oragami paper and book, printing set....

Thanks all, I've gone for a Hama bead set!
