Summary
A craft kit for 5 to 7 year olds (circa 2007), which enables them to make African beads and 'Create a necklace with a secret message'. The box, which is still sealed, is in the form of a bag, with a flat base, folded over at the top where a length of red cord is threaded through as a handle. It is made from glossy, colour-printed cardboard and has a mainly pink and purple background - where the two colours join there is a silhouette image of an African plain with various animals, such as elephants, giraffes and a rhinoceros. On the front is an image of the finished necklace, with a small image of a giraffe wearing a similar necklace, and four circular images of the processes involved in making the necklace. On the back are more images with diagrams of how to make the beads, with a list of contents - brightly coloured bead paper, thread, stick beads, and 'The Inside Info' full instructions.
