Wonderplay is brilliant new company, thought up by a local mum of two, which delivers monthly boxes packed full of creative, crafty projects for children from 3-7 years. Each box is themed, so December is Christmasy, full of fun things to make like Christmas cards, nativity scenes, pop up reindeers, a snow globe anddecorations. Every detail has been meticulously thought out, so the glitter came in a non-spill container, the paintbrushes were the perfect shape for little hands, and even the box can be reused (in this case as a sleigh). Fun instructions, printed with lots of pictures, make it a doddle for children to create some adorable keepsakes.Fifi, although not yet 3, adored it. She revelled in making sparkly decorations of our tree, and thought the sweet touches, like the real hay for the nativity scene, were just so exciting! We spent an entire afternoon painting, sticking and stamping!Wonderplay works on a monthly subscription basis, with a new box arriving every month for a £24.99 fee. It seems like good value to me, as buying all the bits individually would inevitably cost more, not to mention coming up with seven creative ideas every month. And, what a brilliant Christmas present for your little one!Details Wonderplay, £24.99 a month. Visit www.wonderplay.co.ukRead
