For this special seasonal box, we have turned for inspiration to the folk-art traditions that have become a major influence on our Christmas accessories – first of all on that central feature, the tree, then on its decorations, on the candles, the stockings and, indeed, on the story of Santa Claus himself. We have even looked beyond the Christian world and adapted other peoples’ decorative motifs to our Christmas accessories.

Folk art everywhere tends to have a love of bright colours and distinctive patterns. It also favours a more “naive” simple form of art, being rooted in communities and the work of local artisans.

In this box we look in more detail at the folk art of Scandinavia, Mexico and Central Asia.

These three cultures and their different styles inspire us to paint a GIANT Stocking of our very own to hang up this Christmas! Other projects in the box include patterned-paper tree decorations and colourful banners, as well as beautiful water-colour painted gift tags to adorn our presents.

What's inside the box?

  • A booklet introducing the theme, with information about artists, art styles and techniques.
  • Clear instructions on seven art projects, appropriate for children of any age (4+ years), with tips to tailor each project for Little Ones.
  • Includes LoLA book recommendations for further reading.
  • Plenty of quality art materials for your child.
