Mould & paint

Start with what theme your child loves and how many pieces they want to create. On this page you’ll find options ranging from six festive Christmas magnets to many other designs like London landmarks, solar system planets, or sea life magnets. Each kit includes a mould with multiple designs, plaster powder, paints, a paintbrush, magnets, pins and easy‑to‑follow instructions, so you know exactly what you’re getting and can plan a hands‑on craft session.

3D projects involve moulding, setting plaster and then painting, which adds layers of steps compared with flat designs. For example, a 3D dinosaur kit gives you two impressive statues to assemble and finish, offering a more involved build that can boost spatial thinking and patience. The process typically begins with mixing plaster, pouring into the mould, letting it set, and finally adding paint and details to bring the figures to life.

Choose a theme that aligns with your child’s interests to boost engagement, then consider a broader set for variety. The collection includes London, Christmas, Solar System and Sea Life themes, as well as multi‑piece kits like glow‑in‑the‑dark underwater magnets and planetary sets, so you can switch between familiar favourites and new discoveries while exploring different crafting techniques.

Most kits are designed for children who can safely handle plaster mixing and painting with adult supervision, and some entries explicitly note suitability from age five and up. That means you can tailor your choice to younger crafters learning fine motor skills or older kids who enjoy multi‑step projects and more intricate painting.

All essential items are included in the kit: a mould with designs, plaster powder, paints, a brush, magnets and pins plus instructions. Some projects require you to mix plaster with water and wait for it to set, so have a small cup of water ready and plan for a short waiting period before painting or decorating.

Popular choices include Christmas for festive spirit, London for city landmarks, Sea Life for underwater creatures, and Solar System for astronomy‑themed fun. These themes offer recognizable designs that kids enjoy painting and sharing as decorations or gifts, and several sets combine magnets and badges to extend the craft beyond a single project.
