By Betty Gardiner

Is lockdown getting you down? Craft kits are the key to making this lockdown a fun one. As the UK tightens its restrictions, you might find yourself looking for some fun indoor activities to keep you busy. And starting a new hobby sounds much better than lying in bed all day.

Are you missing the pub? Try a cocktail making kit. Do you wish it was Christmas already? Try making some DIY Christmas decorations. Has your holiday been cancelled? Try a cultural cooking class and learn how to replicate that country's cuisine. 

Spice up your boring daily routine with some fun DIY kits that are full of tools and materials for you to play with.

What are craft boxes?

Arts and crafts aren’t only for children! You can find crafting kits for adults too! Crafting kits are for everyone, young or old. They’re perfect for when you need indoor activities that will keep you from missing the times when you could go outside. 

You can learn something you never knew before or find a new hobby that you love. Just select whatever crafting kit you want to try and all the materials are provided for you. You don’t need to worry about getting the supplies by yourself. A box filled with goodies will arrive at your doorstep, ready for you to enjoy. Instructions will be in all the boxes but some will also have live online classes to help you as you make your DIY craft.

There are so many different DIY projects for you to choose from. You could try pottery kits, mosaic art, jewellery making, soap kits and so much more. They’re all perfect for newbies so don’t let your skill level put you off.

It’s a great way to have fun and get your hands moving. So if you need productive things to do at home, try some fun arts and crafts!

Craft kits are a great way to keep your spirits up

Having an activity to work on is really important to keep you motivated, it can make your day more exciting as you watch your craft come together. If you’re in need of things to do when you’re bored, making some fun crafts are great to engage the mind and the body.

Working with your hands and getting your limbs moving releases dopamine and serotonin which can help to lift your mood, making you feel happier and more awake. As you work on your DIY project, your worries will fade away for a time and you can just relax and enjoy yourself. Then, in the end, you have something to remind you of all the fun you had being creative and making something extraordinary. 

Learning a new skill keeps your brain active and excites your creativity. Before you know it you’ll have a new favourite hobby you can enjoy for years. This is so valuable for your mental wellbeing and is much better than scrolling through social media or staring at screens all day.

Craft kits for kids are great to get your little ones to stop playing on their tablet and let their imagination shine. It can add structure to their day, making staying inside so often a bit easier.

DIY crafts are fun things to do at home

When you need things to do when you’re bored, a craft box could be the answer. Whether it’s kids that want to decorate cookies, teens that want to make scrunchies, young adults looking to make cocktails or older adults wanting to do some macrame. Whatever it is you fancy trying, there’s a craft kit for that.

These DIY kits also make brilliant Zoom date ideas. If that’s with your pals or your partner, you can get together virtually and enjoy an online painting class or maybe try some collage art. As well as that, craft sets for adults are a fun and different way for team bonding when your virtual work squad needs a morale boost.

They’re also great if you want some DIY Christmas crafts to make your holiday season in lockdown a bit more festive. Make a gingerbread house or a beautiful wreath to hang on your door. 

When you need a laugh, some DIY home decor, or just need a change from your typical indoor activities that involve the screen, DIY kits can give you what you need.
