What age is the School of Magic (3rd Year) Activity Pack suitable for?

Our age recommendation for this pack is approximately 7-14; children should be mature enough for the content of the book. However, we always say that ability is very subjective; older or younger children may well love exploring the wonderful world of magic through our activities, and the tasks can be completed to your child’s own level.

Do I need anything else?

Some of our activities require resources that you may not have readily at home but can be purchased inexpensively online or at the supermarket.

Some of the activities in this pack may require the use of scissors, knives , chemicals and hot cooking equipment so please ensure children are supervised appropriately.
