Children's casting/painting kit SES Creative Casting and painting - Unicorns

The SES Creative Casting and painting - Unicorns kit enables children aged 5 and up to cast and decorate plaster unicorn figurines. The set contains a reusable plaster mould for multiple figures, six paint colours that reflect current trends, a paintbrush, a smoothing tool for finishing, silver glitter for accents and a blue satin ribbon for decorative finishing. The activity combines manual casting, surface preparation and painting so children practise fine motor skills and creative decision-making while producing tangible decorative toys.

Advantages

The kit provides a complete casting and painting workflow in one package, from filling the mould to final decoration, so no extra tools are required to start. Materials are selected for easy handling by young children: the mould supports simple demoulding, the paints are ready-to-use and the smoothing tool helps achieve clean edges on plaster pieces. Inclusion of glitter and a ribbon adds options for personalised finishing and small-scale craft embellishment.
