Sensational STEAM kits

Our amazing STEAM kits are the perfect combination of fun and science! Not only will young scientists and mechanics learn heaps by using them, but they’ll be making amazing toys and tools that they can use again and again! Budding chemists will have a blast (figurately) with the Extreme Chemistry Kit and all 30 of its experiments, while mechanical fans will love creating and using the Hydraulic Robotic Hand kit.

To get young minds interested in renewable energy, we have plenty of great kits to pique their interest as well! Salt water power can be demonstrated with our Salt Water Car kit, the strength of solar energy can be seen in our Solar Racer kit, and the clean power of wind works through our Wind Generator kit. No nuclear options here, but all the others are fantastic for use at home or in the classroom.

Perfect Paints & Awesome Accessories

Painting is a great way to improve motor skills, communications and overall, it’s just plain fun! Art Star has a good variety of acrylic paints, paper and other handy tools to make painting as fun, easy and mess-free as possible! Whether you want a paint set with just the basics or a kit with awesome variety in its colours, Art Star paints are all water-based and non-toxic, making for safe painting and easy clean up! Art Star’s 5 in 1 Easel is great not only for painting, but has chalkboard, whiteboard, foam board and magnet board all included. And don’t forget a smock to keep yourself clean!

Magnificent Modelling

Making dioramas, stop-motion films and awesome figures with Art Star clay is a great way to keep little hands busy for hours on end! We have basic blocks of Modelling Clay that come in all your favourite colours, which are re-usable and non-hardening. If you after a kit with tools, cutters and other fun devices for moulding clay, our Modelling Clay Tool Box Set or the extensive Play & Learn Modelling Clay 57pc Set have everything you need to make heaps of bright, squishy clay shapes! For sculptors wanting to go the next step, our Air Dry Clay Starter Pack contains clay that is soft, easy to mould and will dry hard overnight. Or give our Pasta Dough Machine Set a try – it’s a super fun way to make all sorts of pasta and dough-based shapes.

All Art Star Clays are made specifically with younger artists in mind, and so are non-toxic, washable and easy to mould straight out of the box.
