Arctic Stone Carving Kit

A block of soft stone becomes a carved Arctic animal.  

This works well for kids who are ready for something slower and more deliberate than typical craft kits. The stone is soft enough to shape with hand tools, but still solid, so each change comes from steady effort.

Your child begins with a pre-cut form and uses the included file and sandpaper to refine the shape. As the surface changes, the animal becomes more defined, with each pass removing just enough material to move the design forward.

The alabaster finishes a soft, near-white color. The instructions are visual and straightforward, so your child can focus on the process instead of decoding directions. Toward the end, the included wax and cloth bring out the natural color and give the surface a smooth finish.

All tools are sized for beginners, making the project manageable without taking away the feel of working with real stone.

By the end, your child is holding a beautiful carving that shows every curve and surface of the work he put into it.
