⏱️ About 2 hours of making
A bright tropical bag charm that children make themselves, with a banana, a little crocodile and a twist of scoubidou. Each part uses a different craft, so the kit feels like a small workshop packed into a fun drinks can.
- Sewing, beading and knotting are all tried out in one afternoon project
- Switching between techniques keeps the making fresh from start to finish
- Small stitches and tiny beads build fine motor control and a careful touch
- The finished charm clips onto a school bag or pencil case for everyone to see
- A sunny, screen free activity for rainy weekends or the summer holidays
Once the last knot is tied, the charm keeps its place on their bag for months of everyday use.

About La Petite Épicerie
La Petite Épicerie is a French brand that does bead jewellery-making kits beautifully. Themed sets in colours like Bubble Tea, Matcha, and Piña Colada, heishi bead boxes in bold or earthy palettes, and mix jars in dreamy Mermaid, Pastel, and Unicorn tones, each kit comes with beads, cord, charms, and instructions so children can start crafting straight away. Alone, with a friend, or as part of a group, and the best part is where the bracelets end up: on the wrist of a parent, a grandparent, or a best friend. A simple afternoon craft that quietly turns into a small act of kindness.
