rainy day box
Don't you hate rainy days? This Creative Charlie box is packed full of fun activities and materials to keep you and your kids happy and entertained when it's chucking it down outside.
It's great for holidays too!
"The children loved following the work sheets and began to implement ideas of their own into their creations. It's value as a creative resource is immense and it incorporates flexible and enjoyable activities, as well as helping to teach children about the environment. Everything in the box was great. The instructions were easy to understand and follow. The Rainy Day Box had a charming sense of simplicity, and my five-year-old was able to use it independently, as well as being encouraged to play co-operatively and share. It has fantastic educational value and appealed to children throughout the trial. Adaptable, original and a lot of fun!"
And there's been praise in the media, too...
"The whole family will be artistically absorbed for hours."
