Here at Austin's Department Store, we believe there’s nothing more rewarding than watching a child’s imagination come to life. Our wide range of arts & crafts can unlock a whole new world of creativity and joy.
Whether it’s painting their first masterpiece, building a model, or crafting a gift for someone special, arts and crafts aren’t just fun, they’re an essential part of a child’s development.
Our handpicked range of children’s arts and crafts kits offers endless possibilities for creativity, learning, and screen-free entertainment.
If you’re looking for ways to inspire your child or keep them busy on rainy afternoons this summer, here are some fantastic project ideas from our collection that they’re sure to love.
Our drawing, colouring and painting kits are perfect for younger children just beginning to explore their creative side.
From classic colouring books, to paint kits and more, your child can dive into the world of colour with guided projects or free form expression.
Our Floss & Rock, Space Paint By Numbers kit is a great way to provide hours of fun for your little one.
Your child can enjoy creating masterpieces using the paintbrush provided, fun shaped paint palettes with 12 colours to match to the numbered sections in the pictures. Each page has a perforated edge making it super easy to tear out your masterpiece!
With our Squeeze N Brush Classic Colours, you can enjoy no more messy bottles, jars and brushes. Simply position on paper, lightly squeeze and brush with smooth, easy strokes.
Your child can have fun enjoying different creations. With all their different paintings, why not create a “gallery wall”, where your child can hang their masterpieces. Rotate the artwork weekly to keep the space fresh and exciting!
