About Baker Ross

A long-established British supplier of craft materials aimed at children, selling to schools, nurseries, playgroups, churches and parents. The model is bulk: packs of thirty rather than single items, priced for a group.

That shapes everything on the site. A pack sized for a class is poor value for one child at home and excellent value for a party, a holiday club or a form group.

What they sell

Craft kits, paints, glue, paper and card, foam shapes, stickers, beads, pom-poms, modelling materials, and seasonal ranges for Christmas, Easter, Halloween and school holidays.

Themed kits are the strongest part of the range, because they solve the real problem: not buying materials, but deciding what to actually make.

Choosing craft for a particular age

For under-threes, the constraint is what goes in the mouth. Beads, googly eyes, pom-poms and sequins are all choking hazards, and the age guidance on the pack reflects testing rather than caution.

For four to seven, look for kits where the child does the assembly and an adult does nothing more than supervise glue. A kit where the grown-up has to cut everything out first is a grown-up's project.

For older children, open-ended materials beat kits. A box of card, paint and glue keeps a nine-year-old busy longer than a kit with one right answer.

Making the session work

Cover the table before, not after. Buy more glue sticks than you think, because glue is the thing that runs out mid-activity and stops everything.

Check drying time before you start. Air-dry clay, paint and papier-mache all need somewhere to sit undisturbed, and a party has nowhere to put thirty wet models.

Plan for the worst crafter in the group rather than the best. The child who finishes first needs a second thing to do.

Using a Baker Ross discount code

Bulk packs are where the value already sits, so build the whole term or party list into one order before applying the code. Enter it at checkout and expect seasonal clearance lines to be excluded.
