Children's creative kit MAPED CREATIVE
MAPED CREATIV Children's Craft Set – Magical Jewelry Creation
Creativity is a vital stage in child development, yet finding an activity that is both engaging and provides a tangible result can be a challenge. The MAPED CREATIV craft set solves this problem by combining coloring with a "magical" plastic transformation that lets children become jewelry designers.
1. Unique Technology: Shrink Plastic
The highlight of this kit is the special plastic sheets that shrink and harden when heated. This process teaches children patience and spatial awareness:
- Coloring: Children use the included pencils to decorate the pieces.
- Transformation: When heated in an oven or with a hair dryer, the pieces shrink up to seven times, becoming thick and very durable.
- Result: Professional-looking charms and accessories that children can be proud of.
2. All-in-One Components
We were impressed that the kit includes absolutely everything needed for a full creative cycle. You won't need to purchase additional pencils or connecting hardware:
- Color Palette: 12 high-quality colored pencils for vibrant designs.
- Accessory Base: From metal rings and chains to bracelets and a keychain.
- Creative Freedom: 19 unique shrinkable pieces ensure a long and meaningful activity.
3. Educational Value and Safety
This creative kit is more than just a toy. It is an excellent tool for developing fine motor skills, increasing concentration, and forming aesthetic perception. While the process requires adult supervision (when using a heat source), the activity itself is safe and encourages interaction between child and parent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can the pieces only be heated in an oven?
Although the manufacturer mentions a hair dryer can be used, the best and most even result is achieved in an oven (recommended temperature is usually around 150-160°C, while monitoring the process).
Are the pencils in the kit special?
The kit contains high-quality Maped pencils, but most standard colored pencils work on shrink plastic if the child needs additional colors.
