Many of our products at Many Joyful Things offer opportunities for crafting. The printable games in our Made for You Games range can be printed, cut out, coloured and put together before being played, as can the games from our Edmund and Joy range. The printable books from our Edmund and Joy range can be assembled, as explained in our blog post ‘How to Assemble Our Printable Picture Books’ and our other printable books can be assembled too.
