Art and craft kits are a valuable tool for kids to explore their creativity, something that I'm afraid we'll lose as digital art becomes the norm.

Gone are the days of hoovering up spilt Hama beads or removing stubborn acrylic paint handprints from your pristine white walls (sorry mum). But cast your mind back to the golden days of art and craft kits.
Beneath the mess and chaos was a tactile learning experience - a chance to discover and nurture creative talent in its rawest form.
