Painting by Numbers Box 'Kitten' Derform KIDEA – paint-by-numbers craft set

Derform KIDEA "Kitten" painting-by-numbers box is a craft set created for guided decoration of a small decorative box featuring a kitten motif. The kit contains a pre-printed cardboard box surface divided into numbered areas, a set of numbered acrylic paints matched to those areas, and at least one fine brush for detailed work. The product is intended to guide users through a step-by-step painting process so they can complete a ready-to-use decorative container suitable for gifts, storage of small items, or display.

Advantages

The set simplifies the painting process by providing a numbered template and matching paints, reducing the need for prior drawing or color-mixing skills. It combines craft materials in a single kit—pre-printed box, paints and brush—so users have everything required to finish the project. The lightweight materials make the finished box easy to handle and decorate further with varnish or embellishments if desired. The controlled palette and clear numbering support learning of color recognition and brush control for beginners and children.

Suitable for

• Hobbyists seeking a quick, guided craft project
• Children practicing basic painting and following instructions (with adult supervision for younger kids)
• Creating small personalized gifts and decorative storage boxes
• Art practice focusing on brush control, color filling and finishing techniques

How to use

Start by laying out the pre-printed box parts on a clean, flat surface and organize the numbered paints in order. Apply paint to the corresponding numbered areas using the included brush; thin layers are recommended to avoid warping the cardboard. Allow each painted area to dry before handling or applying adjacent colors. After all numbered areas are filled and fully dry, assemble the box following the printed fold lines and securing tabs. If a more durable surface is desired, finish with a compatible clear varnish once the paint is fully cured.

Usage recommendations

Work on a protected surface and wear an apron or old clothes to avoid stains. For best results, use light, even strokes and wait for full drying between layers. Keep paints sealed when not in use and store the completed box in a dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve colors.
