Our first collection dives underwater. The Under the Sea kit includes five ready-to-paint figures — whale, dolphin, starfish, turtle, and crab — each arriving plain white so your child decides the palette.
Paint pots range from a starter set of three essentials up to six vibrant colours (plus gold for sparkle), and every kit includes one little artist's brush.
Step-by-step first session
Step 1: Open the box and lay figures on newspaper or a craft mat. Step 2: Let your child pick colours — there are no wrong answers. Step 3: Paint patterns, faces, or wild gradients. Step 4: Let pieces dry and display them together like a mini aquarium.
Ideas if your child feels stuck
Try a « rainbow family » (each figure one colour), a « spotted turtle », or a « golden starfish » using the sparkle pot. Siblings can trade figures halfway for collaborative fun.
Aftercare
Allow figures to dry fully before handling. Brushes rinse with mild soap and water. Store leftover paint with lids closed for another creative day.
