What Is Prestik Used For?

Prestik is a reusable adhesive that allows you to stick lightweight items without using glue, tape or pins. It’s ideal for creative projects where flexibility and easy removal are important.

Prestik can be used for:

Kids’ crafts and art projects
Displaying drawings and decorations
Temporary creative setups
School and classroom activities

Instructions

Step 1: Set up your craft space

Start by gathering all your materials and placing them on a clean, flat surface. This makes the activity easier and helps children explore in a relaxed and organised way.

Step 2: Prepare your paper or cardboard

Choose a sheet of black cardboard or coloured paper as the base for your design. Trace and cut out the stars.

Step 3: Shape the Prestik

Take small pieces of Bostik Prestik and roll, press, twist, or flatten them into different forms using your hands. This is one of those fun crafts for kids that encourages creativity while supporting sensory play, making it ideal for craft activities for preschoolers.

Step 4: Make prints and patterns

Press the Prestik onto the paper or cardboard to create prints, patterns, and textured designs. This simple technique is perfect for art and craft with paper because children can experiment freely without needing complicated instructions.

Step 5: Add colour

Mix in paint or a few drops of food colouring if you want to make the Prestik even brighter and more eye-catching. This is a fun way to expand the activity into more colourful diy crafts, cool crafts, and expressive craft ideas for kids. You can also directly add the paint to the Prestik with a brush or spraybottle.

Step 6: Create your own mini masterpiece

Keep building your artwork by combining shapes, colours, textures, and patterns in any way you like. Because there are no strict rules, this activity works beautifully as one of those open-ended things to make for children who enjoy creative freedom and imaginative diy ideas.

Step 7: Display and enjoy

Once the design is complete, set it aside to admire or display as part of your child’s latest creation.
