Dressing up is always a favourite game and all outfits need a hat so you'll need this craft kit in your dressing up box!

Included in the box are six recycled cardboard strips to use as a base for the hats, with two instruction sheets explaining how to make a crown or Indian headdress. There is tape, a pair of scissors, a recycled pencil, glitter, a packet of sparkles and three feathers. There are four paints which are water based, biodegradable, and phalate free. A pot of washable glue, which like the paint, is wheat, gluten and nut oil free (ensuring that children with these allergies can play safely). Two paint brushes and glue spreaders are included, so that two children can decorate hats at the same time.
