Press Release Summary: Arts and craft superstore, Hobbycraft, has put together a
host of crafty activities to keep kids entertained in the half term school holidays
and the run up to Halloween.

Press Release Body: If you\'re going to be taking time off with the children during
the school holiday, arts and crafts superstore HobbyCraft has conjured up a few
crafty ideas to help you keep them amused.



In fact, they\'ve come up with a host of activities that you can enjoy without ever
having to step outside your own front door or switch on a TV or computer screen -
from playing games and telling each other stories to a whole host of crafty
activities that the kids will love to do.

Whether you create hand painted pictures, colourful mobiles, pom pom friends or
springy pets, young children especially will love the attention and time you spend
with them - you could even get together with friends and have a kid\'s craft party.

To get you started you can pick up free project sheets at HobbyCraft, and between
October 17 and November 4 you can enjoy 3 FOR 2* on selected kids kits at
participating HobbyCraft superstores, which means keeping the kids amused over half
term should be child\'s play. A typical HobbyCraft store sells more than 32,000
products for 250 creative activities, all under one roof, so there\'s always plenty
of choice.

And with Halloween approaching faster than Harry Potter\'s Quidditch broom,
HobbyCraft has also conjured up some wickedly simple ideas to keep your little
witches and wizards amused over half term, having hours of fun making witches hats,
scary masks, batty bats and spooky spiders for their monster bash!
