The budget-friendly arts and crafts have proved so popular they’re sold out online, so mums are going bargain-hunting in the supermarket. 

Describing the range, Aldi said: “A great way to get them working together, this is a creative activity that'll keep them busy for hours. 

“Made from thick card that they can assemble by themselves, the finished product can be customised with colour and paint to really get their creative juices going.”

Raving about her purchase on Facebook group , one mum said: “Thought this was a absolute bargain for only £6.99 in Aldi when the ones similar Hobby Craft sell are always over £15.
