The Calafant Activity Models sold on the website Danish by Design start off as a building project, then when finished, become a toy. The models sell for $29.95.
The models, which come in 10 different designs, including castles, pirate ships, a robot, pony farm or doll house, need to be constructed. This will take some attention to detail and concentration, but the interlocking tabs make it easy for even small hands. There is no glue or tape required.
Once the model is built, it’s time to decorate. Models for level one and two give guidance for decorating, but model three level kits leave the decorating up to your imagination. Try using watercolor paints, colored pencils, markers and even stickers and glitter to decorate the model.
These 14 fun DIYs will keep the whole family busy on a rainy day.
When the decorating phase is completed, the toy is ready for hours of fun.
