What Your Child Makes

The Mini Canvas Kit turns six tiny blank canvases into six little characters. Kids paint each canvas, then cut shapes from craft foam and glitter card stock and glue on ears, horns, wings, and hair. Fabric flowers, gems, half pearls, and seashells add the finishing sparkle. A unicorn and a fairy are on the box, and families have made dragons and owls too. When a canvas is done, it stands on its own wooden easel, ready for a shelf or a desk.

Templates to Get Started

Not sure where to begin? The printable templates give kids shapes to trace and cut. You can download more designs for free on our Mini Canvas Kit Templates page. Looking for ideas once all six are finished? Read What to Do With Finished Kids' Crafts.

Questions parents ask

What's included in the Mini Canvas Kit?

Six 3x3 inch canvases with six wooden easels, 8 paints (purple, yellow, blue, green, brown, pink, white, and black), 6 paint brushes, 7 sheets of craft foam, 5 sheets of glitter card stock, mini fabric flowers, chunky glitter, gems, half pearls, micro seashells, craft glue, step-by-step instructions, and printable templates.

What can my child make?

Six mini canvas characters. The box shows a unicorn and a fairy, and the templates help kids get started. Families have also made dragons and owls, so there is room for any creature your child dreams up. More free templates are on our Mini Canvas Kit Templates page.

What ages is it best for?

It is recommended for ages 5 and up. Younger crafters may want a grown-up nearby to help cut the foam and glitter card stock and to handle the glue. Older kids can plan their own characters from start to finish.

Is it safe for kids?

Every Pinwheel Crafts kit is CPSIA compliant, which means it meets the US federal safety requirements for children's products. The gems, half pearls, micro seashells, and glitter are small parts, so the kit is not for children under 3. An adult should help younger kids with cutting the foam and card stock.

How do kids make a character?

They paint the canvas first and let it dry. Then they cut ears, horns, wings, or hair from the craft foam and glitter card stock, glue them on with the craft glue, and add fabric flowers, gems, half pearls, and seashells for sparkle.

Can siblings share one kit?

Yes. With six canvases and six brushes in the box, two or three kids can each make their own characters and share the paint and decorations. It also works well for a playdate or a small party.

How do the finished canvases display?

Each canvas stands on its own wooden easel, so the finished characters can line up on a shelf, a windowsill, or a desk. For more ideas, read What to Do With Finished Kids' Crafts.

Does it make a good gift?

Yes. It is a great pick for birthdays and holidays, especially for kids who love to paint and make magical characters. With six canvases inside, they can keep a few and give the rest to grandparents or friends.
