The quick answer

All five of these together cost £25.75 (prices checked 29 September 2026): Octopus Paper Chain Kits, Jellyfish Wand Kits, Rainbow Fish Weaving Kits, Starfish Bead Decoration Kits and the Sealife Craft-it! BOX. Add a pack of foam sheets or googly eyes and you cross the £29 free-delivery line.

Baker Ross is where we get our ocean craft kits, and their sealife section is the bit we keep going back to. These five kits are the ocean ones we'd put in one basket. Every link on this page is a tracked affiliate link, marked as always, and the prices are the live ones we checked today.

1
Verity's holiday craft

Octopus Paper Chain Kits - £5.95 (pack of 3)

Verity made a very pink octopus from a paper chain kit like this on holiday, and it was the one craft she talked about all week. Pre-cut pieces, so a three or four year old can do most of it with a bit of glue supervision.

Best for little hands

Jellyfish Wand Kits - £4.95 (pack of 8, was £5.95)

Eight jellyfish for under a fiver. Tissue streamers, googly eyes and a straw wand each, so they double as a toy afterwards. Lovely for playdates because there's one for everyone.

Best quiet-time kit

Rainbow Fish Weaving Kits - £4.95 (pack of 6, was £5.95)

Thread the ribbons through the fish and watch the table go completely silent. Weaving is brilliant for little fingers, and the finished fish look properly pretty on a bedroom wall.

Best for concentration

Starfish Bead Decoration Kits - £4.95 (pack of 5, was £5.95)

Foam starfish with beaded dangly strands. Threading the beads is the kind of job a four year old takes VERY seriously, and the glitter stickers finish it off.

Best value box

Sealife Craft-it! BOX - £4.95 (was £12.95)

A whole activity box: sea creature projects, sticker sheets and an activity book in one pack. Currently less than half price, which is why it's in the basket.

Mum tip: the five kits come to £25.75, and Baker Ross delivery is free over £29 with the code FREEDEL (standard delivery is £4.95 otherwise). Adding a pack of foam sheets or googly eyes tips you over the line and costs less than the delivery fee would have.

What you'll still need from the drawer

The kits include the shaped pieces, eyes and ribbons, but not the basics. Have PVA glue, child-safe scissors and some felt tips or paint ready before you open anything, unless you enjoy mid-craft emergencies.

Do the kits come with everything you need?

The kit pieces are included, but you still need the basics: glue, scissors and something to colour with. Check the 'you'll also need' note on each product page.
