Description
This magical bead bracelet kit gives children everything they need to make a bracelet of their own, packed into a navy blue sliding box printed with smiling rainbows, shooting stars and a pink-maned unicorn. Inside are chunky wooden charms in the same cheerful designs: unicorns in pink and blue, stars in yellow and soft lilac, a pastel rainbow and a shooting star with a striped tail, each with a sleepy smiling face. Round wooden beads in blue, yellow, orange, pink, purple and lilac fill the gaps between them, and a pink elastic cord with a metal tip at one end holds it all together. It measures 28cm long, 1.8cm wide and 0.9cm high.
We think it suits a quiet afternoon at the kitchen table, a rainy day indoors or a craft corner in a bedroom or playroom. Children choose the order of the charms and beads themselves, so no two bracelets need turn out alike, and the finished piece is ready to wear straight away. It is a lovely hands-on activity for kids who love unicorns, rainbows and anything a little bit magical, and the bright colours make sorting and threading part of the fun. Because the box slides open like a matchbox, any loose pieces can go back inside once the bracelet is made.
The charms and beads are made from wood and painted in soft pastel shades with simple faces, while the elastic cord is polyester with a metal tip. Being elastic, the finished bracelet stretches over the hand, so there is no fiddly clasp to fasten. To keep the wooden pieces looking their best, keep them dry and wipe them with a soft dry cloth when needed. The small sliding box keeps everything together and fits easily in a bag for a journey, and it wraps up neatly as a cheerful little present for a young crafter who loves a touch of colour.

The charms and the round beads are all made of wood, and the elastic cord is made from polyester with a metal tip at one end.
