Harriet with Faber-Castell connector pensFaber-Castell has created a wide selection of interesting Playing & Learning products which allow children to explore their creativity through the world of colour.

Ocean Adventure Creative Craft Set (7.99)

To be honest Harriet and I didn't really see the point of of this. The idea of creating a 3D work of art was interesting but the connectors just seemed an added distraction. However ever resourceful, Harriet found a use for them.

PWT rating: ♥♥♥♥♥♥

Connector Paint Box (£10)

Harriet adores painting and loved the fact that she could unclip the colours and rearrange them into a different sequence. Another plus factor as far as she is concerned is the way the paintbrush can be retracted into its case.

Easy to clean and the palette keeps it all together nicely.

Colourful Grip Crayons (£5.95)

What is there not to like about these six chunky crayons which are handy to keep in your bag ready to bring out when a distraction is necessary (or the ones in the restaurant aren't up to much.

PWT rating: ♥♥♥♥♥♥

There is also a Faber-Castell "Creative Kids" app free from the Apple App Store for iPad.
