Model kits for kids is a great way to combine fun with learning
Model making can be a great educational tool for kids – they can learn a bit about the history of the model they’re building, and gain creative skills from completing and painting the model. It’s a great activity for kids on their own or as part of a family project which makes models a wonderful gift for children.
Model kits for kids by theme
All kids are different and there are a huge range of model kits to suit any skill level or interests. Beginners kits usually come with fewer pieces and may not require gluing or painting. More advanced kits tend to have more pieces, which can be smaller and more intricate, so may need help from an adult.

Model kits for kids by material
Picking the right material can be a tough choice, so let’s break it down. Wooden model kits generally won’t need glue or paint – the parts slot together. Metal kits also don’t require glue or paint but will need a steady hand as you’ll need to bend small tabs to construct the model. Plastic kits usually require glue and painting, so definitely for the more artistically-minded.
