Bear Soapstone Carving Kit

A GIFT THEY MAKE THEMSELVES: A screen-free stone carving project that becomes a keepsake to treasure. Everything comes in one box, ready to wrap for Christmas, a birthday or First Holy Communion, or to pop in a Christmas stocking – no extra supplies to buy. MADE FOR FAMILY TIME: Carve together at the kitchen table – about 90 minutes from stone to polished bear. For ages 8+; lovely for parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren, and rainy-day afternoons. EVERYTHING INCLUDED: A pre-cut Brazilian soapstone bear, a carving file, polishing wax, a buffing cloth, step-by-step instructions and video tutorials. The finished bear measures about 7.5 x 5 x 2.5 cm (3 x 2 x 1 in). BEGINNER-FRIENDLY, LESS MESS: The stone arrives pre-cut in the basic bear outline, so first-time carvers get a result they are proud of. Carve with the stone wet to reduce dust – no power tools or experience needed. REAL STONE, ONE OF A KIND: Soapstone has been carved for thousands of years. Its natural colours range from grey and green to brown, so every bear is unique – a handmade keepsake for a shelf, desk or bedside table.
