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 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.
