Manuscript extends popular Lionheart Collection with kid's craft kits

Designed for young crafters from eight years old, the Shimmer Dots range comprises ten fun and exciting safari themed characters to inspire children and aid creative development. Each craft kit features a wall art animal image with 12-sided faceted sparkly diamond style dots which children can apply together with a parent. Producing stunning results which are perfect to display, diamond art crafting is the ideal parent and child activity and can help to develop fine motor skills, as well as improve concentration and pen control for children. They also offer additional benefits such as helping to practice mindfulness.

Also new to the collection is Benji's Big Day Activity Book. Designed by educational publishing specialists in conjunction with Manuscript, the book is ideal for preschool learners aged three to eight years old and contains a wide range of drawings, cutting, colouring, shape, number and letter forming activities to help develop children's learning and motor skills.

The activity book also includes a selection of 'wipe-clean' pages to ensure learning can be repeated and cemented, and works together with the compatible Lionheart marker range.
