SO GREEN AND STILL KIDS LOVE THEM
New online shop an answer to eco-friendly kids entertainment

An established craft supplier launches a new website to allow children’s craft kits to be bought nationwide. The only online store to offer these hobby craft kits, horseplaycraftyparties.co.uk has been widely praised for its ability to provide imaginative, fun and eco-friendly party entertainment for children.

Set up in 2004 as a mobile party organiser, Horse Play Crafty Parties Ltd. started by arranging parties for smaller children where they made their own hobby horses – or dinosaurs, tigers, dogs, zebras and aeroplanes followed by themed stories and games.

This idea really caught on with the children and parents, so Horse Play started producing party kits, with full instructions on how to do it yourself. Now parents could arrange their “crafty parties” themselves.

With over 20 designs available through an online shop, and unlike plastic party kits commonly seen, most of the materials in the Horse Play kits are recycled or reusable. Horse Play founder Kerry Bennett makes it part of the company’s policy to use environmentally sound materials. “It was important to us,” she says. “We wanted to use recycled materials as much as possible while still providing a quality finish. So we use 90% recycled cardboard as the base for our designs.”

As for the fabrics and papers, a good relationship with local design shops has secured a seemingly endless supply of off-cuts and sample books, all of which are recycled into stars, hearts, flowers, circles and other shapes for use in decorating whichever beast a child is making.

With such responsible practice, it’s little wonder that so many parents, keen to show off their green credentials, are snapping up the Horse Play kits. And they’re not just for parties – the kits are available online individually, providing several hours entertainment for one or two children and a quality toy to play with afterwards.

“Our handcrafted kits make it easy for parents to have quality time with their children,” Kerry says. “Imagine what wonderful fun can be had with them at a picnic – when adults sit chatting and nibbling, the children get creative, and they have a toy to play imaginative games with all afternoon. It frees their mind and enables them to express artistic talents, however well hidden!”

Each of the party kits includes a sturdy cardboard animal shape, glue stick, oodles of coloured multi-textured fabric and paper shapes, sequins, fabric ribbons, wooden body sticks and handles. All come with full instructions on how to provide creative entertainment at a child’s party, ideas for games, and a personalised themed story – the ideal way to get creative young minds inspired.

Hobby Horses are priced at 10.00GBP per child for party kits and 12.50GBP per individual gift kit.
