Create a 3D scene inside a matchbox with this sweet activity pack. Colour in the objects for the scene, the animals and characters, background and sides - use your own pencil crayons or felt tips. Then push the pieces out of the pre-cut card (some cutting with scissors required for a couple of peices).
Then follow the instructions to fold the pieces together to create the matchbox and sliding lid, then glue the scene inside. A hot glue gun or quick dry craft glue is recommended for this bit.
You will be creating a miniature diorama - a 3D scene inside a box.
The kit is small and delightfully illustrated, so some help from an older child or adult may be needed to put this together and guide on colouring in. Adult supervision is a must when using the glue gun.
The kit comes with a label to colour and stick to the outside, so you can add a note to the person you are giving it to - or name the diorama and keep it for yourself!
Choose from various themed kits using the menu below, one will be sent.
The finished piece measures 6.5cm long by 5cm wide and 2.5cm deep.
Made of FSC card and comes in a card envelope, so is ideal to pop in the post as a gift. The kit is made in Germany but has good English instructions in the pack.
Jollys says "we had great fun creating this little diorama. You can colour however you like and add extra scenery. It needs a little patience and good motor skills."
