Art jam at home

Looking to cut down on screen time during the June holidays?

Many families are turning to DIY art-jamming kits, which local art studios and craft shops have been putting out.

They range from dessert-painting packages and acrylic pour kits to painting-by-numbers sets and art jamming on canvases, tote bags and even tiles.

No prior experience is needed and the end results are meant to boost your creative confidence.

Here are six kits you can check out for bonding time with your loved ones at home.

This is an open invitation to play with your food. Tinker with sauces, garnishes and sweet treats with the newly launched dessert-painting kit from splatter art studio Splat Paint House.

Inspired by three-Michelin-starred restaurant Alinea's unique tabletop dessert-plating practice, this is an art-jamming experience using the table as canvas.

Users get to decorate with colourful ingredients such as sea salt caramel and chocolate shards, then finish off the masterpiece with the desserts provided.

The finale? Tuck in and eat your creation.
