OOPS WOW ART PLAY BOXES

These boxes were initially developed over 'lockdown' so that people could have some Oops Wow type fun at home. They were received so well that I thought I would make up some more for this year. There are now 7 to choose from. Information about each one is below, and you can buy them from my Etsy shop JoBurlingtonArt . If you live in or near Bridport, you can use the code OOPSWOWLOCAL at the check out to take off the cost of postage, and we can arrange a time for you to pick it up/ somewhere to meet to do a handover.

Oops Wow Art Play Boxes  are based on popular Oops Wow Messy Art Sessions.
They are packed with fun ideas and open ended materials for your kids to explore and make their own unique creations.
Each pack has enough materials for 2 kids.
