Complicated craft kits are sew overrated. PlushCraft no-sew sets are frustration-free DIY sets that let kids make their own fuzzy figures with a few easy pops.

Designed for kids ages 5 and up, Orb Toys’ PlushCraft Sea Life fabric fun set allows kids to create three adorable sea creature figures, including a turtle, an octopus, and a clown fish. The set includes more than 900 vibrant, pre-cut fabric pieces that kids simply push into the foam figure bases by using the stylus.

The set includes three styluses, so multiple kids can craft at one time, making this a great set for slumber parties or rainy day fun. Kids can choose to follow the easy color guides for each animal, or throw caution to the wind and create anything they like.

PlushCraft kits are not an exact science. While the fabric is pre-cut, kids can put as many or as few of the fabric pieces into each base as they like, since the instructions do not feature exact piece counts.

The plastic styluses are not sharp or pointy, making them super safe for kids to use. The figures will each take about an hour or so to create, and kids may need a bit of assistance from adults to kick off the creative under-the-sea adventure.

The final result yields a mega bright, super lightweight figure that looks exactly like what’s depicted on the box, something few craft kits actually achieve.

Perfect for grade school kids, the PlushCraft Sea Life set removes all of the hard work from crafting, including sewing, cutting, molding, and more. It provides a simple, fun activity that leaves kids with a collectible figure worthy of any nightstand, bookshelf, or shelf display.
