Craft Buddy launches Wildlife Buddies kits

Craft Buddy has launched a new line of Crystal Art Wildlife Buddies kits.

Developed by Crystal Buddy’s in-house team, the 20 animal kits see kids bring wooden,11cm-tall collectibles to life with sparkling crystal art and an educational twist.

The launch range features five themed wildlife locations – Safari, Jungle, Ocean, Down Under and Misunderstood, each featuring four creatures to make and collect. Each also comes with an “Edu-card,” packed with facts and a QR code which links to the Craft Buddy website for further interactive learning.

“Wildlife Buddies are the latest innovation in growing the enormously popular Buddies range,” said Gary Wadhwani, Director at Craft Buddy.

“As a parent I appreciate not only the importance of creative play but the added value when it’s combined with fun learning. Wildlife Buddies are our first step into ‘edutainment’ and we received such enthusiasm for this range from all ages when we showcased them at trade shows earlier this year.”
