Nautical Gifts: Model Boat Kits
Next time you are scouring the shops, scratching your head over what gift you could possibly find for your fussy young niece or nephew, why not consider model boat kits? In our times of fast paced, technologically based entertainment, children are missing out on hobbies and pursuits that calm them, allow their logic and creativity to join forces and thrive – and deliver satisfaction lasting far longer than an X-Box game.
The art of building a boat with our DIY model boat kits puts the control in the hands of the creator of each boat. The practice develops attention to detail, fine motor and hand-eye co-ordination – and the satisfaction of looking at something beautiful that was made by one’s own hands. The art of building a model boat can be likened to the art of meditation, where we learn to still our minds and to implement small steps towards a greater outcome – in this way, the invisible connection to our inner world is constantly nourished.
You can find a wide range of model boat kits at the Model Shipyard, the only official global designer and manufacturer of the world renowned, high quality STEPHENS & KENAU™ range. Each kit is an exact replica of the ship it represents, with the fine, intricate detail of the original being reproduced in a miniature scale, right down to the sails, quality woods and brass fittings. There are kits for beginner, intermediate and advanced model boat builders, each kit being accompanied by clearly legible instructions and high quality colour photographs for ease of reference.
What child is able to resist the imaginings of a maritime gone by, a time of intrigue and romance, when pirates, plunderers, adventurers and sailors traversed the seas, telling of mutinies and hidden treasures? Boat model kits are a truly timeless gift – many people who started model boat building in childhood continue their craft and collection right through their adulthood, passing it on to their children one day. Contact us now to discuss our model boat kits and give a gift that will last a lifetime.
