Design, Sew & Sculpt: A Guide to the Best Small World Creative Toys

There’s a special kind of magic in making something with your own two hands. For children, that feeling is even more powerful. Small World is a brand built on that idea, creating brilliant kits that give children the tools to express themselves, learn new skills, and bring their biggest ideas to life.

From a first sewing project to a futuristic 3D sculpture, the range of Small World creative toys is huge. This guide will walk you through the different worlds of fun the brand offers, helping you find the perfect activity for your young artist, designer, or inventor.

The Fashion & Design Studio

For children who love style, accessories, and dreaming up their own outfits, the Small World Fashion range makes design skills accessible and fun.

It all starts with sewing. The Professional Sewing Machineis a fantastic battery-operated machine with a foot pedal and safety guard, perfect for beginners. It’s the ideal tool for the Haute Couture Fashion Show kit, which includes mannequins and fabrics to create a whole collection. For a single project, the Designer Dress-a-Doll – Sophia kit has everything needed to make a beautiful dress for a fashion doll.

The studio isn’t just for clothes. The Hair Flair Styling Set includes battery-operated braiding and wrapping tools, while the Air Brush Nail Salon comes with a handheld airbrush and dryer for amazing manicures. Jewellery making is also a huge part of the collection, with kits like the Braided Bangles for friendship bracelets, the on-trend Heishi Bead Art Kit, and the brilliant Aphrodite’s Adornment Bead Workshop, where you can mould your own polymer clay beads.

The Artist's Workshop

For kids who prefer paint, modelling, and classic crafts, the Small World Creative range is packed with unique projects.

The Marbling Art Studio introduces the amazing technique of floating paint on water to create incredible patterns on canvas. For a different kind of painting, the Airbrush Artist Kit uses a handheld airbrush device to spray colour from markers for a professional finish. If model-making is more their style, the Build-a-Pirate-Ship Kit is a rewarding project that results in an impressive wooden display piece.

The range also includes lovely first craft experiences. The Sew Me Animals kits (available in Lion and Hippo designs) are a perfect introduction to sewing. The Diamond Design Stickers sets are a fun and mess-free way to create sparkling decorations, while the Unicorn Tattoos and Sun Catchies Kit offer even more ways to get creative with colour.

The Inventor's Lab

The Small World TechArt range is where creativity meets technology. These kits are brilliant for children interested in STEM and design, introducing them to new ways of making things.

The standout items here are the amazing 3D Pen sets. These USB-powered pens let you literally draw in three dimensions, creating solid objects from plastic filament. The 3D Pen Fantasy Studio has templates to build a dragon and a unicorn, while the 3D Pen Jewellery Studio lets you sculpt your own unique beads and charms. For the ultimate design challenge, the 3D Future Fashions kit lets you construct incredible, sculptural outfits on miniature mannequins.

The World of Make-Believe

Imaginative play is at the heart of the Small World Learning range. These are toys designed for storytelling and creating entire worlds.

The huge Knights Castle Playset is made from durable cardboard and includes knight figures, creating a perfect backdrop for epic battles. For clever, frustration-free play, the Magnetic Scoop & Play Ice Cream Set uses magnets to let kids really scoop and serve ice cream. The range of mix-and-match toys is also fantastic, including the 3D Magnetic Jumbo Safari Animals and the 3D Click Assembly Aircraft, which let children build classic models or invent their own hilarious new creations.
