Made by me! is one of the brands that Horizon Group USA creates & sells that offer hands on craft kits for kids that suit a wide range of ages. One of the kits we were recently sent to review is the Paint Your Own Ceramic Pottery which can be purchased on amazon for $16.97 and some stores such as Walmart & Target sell their products as well. This kit is recommended for ages 6-9, slightly older kids may enjoy it as well, even adults can use this kit to paint the ceramics. Painting is a low stress craft activity that can be quite peaceful, then after you are done panting you can either keep the items or gift them.
This painting kit comes with four different items to paint & decorate how you'd like. There is a small bowl, a vase, a flower pot & a dome pot. Sadly, our kit came with a broken vase that wasn't fixable so only three of the products will be shown on this post. It also comes with twelve bright acrylic paints plus a paint brush.
All of the ceramics are light weight & take the paint quite easily. The kids liked that they didn't need to add several layers of each paint color to get the shade they were wanting to achieve. The kids had fun using different themes to paint the ceramics, the bowl my daughter did a underwater scene on & my son did the other two. The flower pot he did with a sunset theme & it has some glitter as well to give it a shimmer like a real sunset, and the dome he did a turtle shell however you can't quite tell in these photos.
Which of the ceramics would you want to paint? Do you have a favorite craft or art type you enjoy?
