A children’s franchise that means business

Why Magic Sand Painting?


A proven product

Magic Sand Painting is new to the UK, but has a proven record in other countries around the world as a successful product that entertains and engages children.  

A wide audience

Magic Sand Painting appeals to a wider range of children than most other children’s franchises and activities.  We recommend ages 3-12, but we have also had many happy customers both older and younger, teenage girls in particular enjoy the creativity that Magic Sand Painting allows.  Our wide range of picture designs mean that we have small simple designs for the younger children, through to intricate complicated designs that will keep even the most meticulous of teenagers occupied.
A calm and engaging activity for all abilities.

Magic Sand Painting creates a calm environment.  Children (and parents) become completely absorbed in the activity, and this makes it perfect for so many different locations and environments including birthday parties, Christmas parties, weddings, Christenings, communions, family events, fun days and even festivals.

Magic Sand Painting also works really well with disabled and special needs children and adults. Children with even very low motor neurone skills can still produce a picture that looks as flawless as any other child.  It’s a calm and systematic process. The feel of the sand and the instant results of their efforts make it instantly enjoyable and rewarding for all involved.

We will work with you to provide you with an initial launch marketing campaign in your local area.  This may include newspaper editorial and advertising.  For others it may be a launch event in a shopping centre or other suitable event.

Telephone and email support

We are available for ongoing support by both email and telephone.  You will have a mobile telephone number that you can call to speak directly to one of the Kids Bee Happy management team.  We are not an anonymous corporate organisation and you are welcome to get in touch as often as you like to discuss your franchise business, or just to talk to us about how much you are enjoying it.

Online support

We will help you create social network profiles on websites such as Twitter and Facebook.  You will have access to photographs, brochures and other templates to help you in your marketing.  This support is provided mainly through our private franchisees forum.  This forum is completely hidden from anyone other than signed up franchisees, and so it’s a safe and private place to share marketing information, tips, and other discussions between yourself and other franchisees, as well as ourselves as franchisors.

Online stock ordering

The franchisees only website also includes an online shop where you can view and order stock.

Events and exhibitions

As part of our operations, we attend a large number of events and exhibitions throughout the country. If these events are in your operational area then we will offer you the opportunity to come along to these free of charge to promote your business to the local audience.

Kids Bee Happy is working with an online accountancy company to provide low cost business and accounting support to franchisees anywhere across the country.  Packages which include accounting software, accounts and tax returns cost as little as £20 per month.  Additionally, we have a specific forum for  business and accounting to answer your questions.

Additional bespoke training

If you feel that you still require further training that can’t be covered via any of the above options, then we’d be happy to provide additional training days at a special rate that will be designed to provide help and support for you in whatever way you require

"Our busiest time was between 11.30am and 3.30pm when lots of children came to do their pictures. They were so proud of the finished result, showing it off to us and their parents/grandparents. When walking past our stand later in the day, they waved and smiled at us and most of them were still clutching their pictures. One little girl came back three times to do a picture, she enjoyed it that much and told me she kept asking her dad if she could have a party!

The adults were very interested and took flyers and several took a second flyer stating they would take it in to their school as they were confident they would be interested in Kids Bee Happy."


Jackie took Kids Bee Happy to the Classic Mini Show at Stafford County Showground for their January show.   Jackie’s background is nursing and she has also worked as a health and social care trainer and assessor for a number of years.  Kids Bee Happy appealed to Jackie as it enables her to continue to work with people as well as providing a fun and stimulating activity for the children.  Kids Bee Happy fits in with Jackie’s home and family life. Jackie’s husband and six year old daughter Jessica both help her out at events and parties when needed. Jessica loves making pictures and has become quite an expert at the whole process.
