The SES Creative Casting and Painting - Fantasy Horses kit gives children aged 5 and up a complete set to make and decorate small horse figures. The kit contains a mould tray, plaster mix, six paint pots, a paint brush and a glitter tube, allowing children to cast the figures, let them dry and then paint and decorate them.

Included paints, a brush and glitter enable immediate decoration after the pieces have set, so the creative process from casting to finished model is all contained in one pack.
